subject: Which Automatic Pool Cleaner To Buy [print this page] The goal of this article is to evaluate 2 similar pool cleaners. I would want to begin with Baracuda and Kreepy Krauly. The brand names mentioned come in several different models and they are the suction type pool cleaners.The Kreepy uses a flapper or hammer as its moving component. When suction is applied the flapper starts moving backwards and forwards in a step. The hammer motion propels the Kreepy forward.
It does make some disturbance as the flapper moves back and forth. The Baracuda includes a diaphragm, as the water moves via the diaphragm it expands and contracts. This is what causes the cleaner to move around the bottom part of the pool. The diaphragm creates no sound as it works which can be something to be considered.
A number of the problems with your cleansers is they can get stuck. You need to work with them to resolve the problem. Some of the solutions are shorten the hose or weights could be added to the pool cleaner hose. Problem with the Kreepy is it could get caught on the antivortex drains that are on the base of in ground pools. They actually make a equipment which can be positioned across the drain and the Kreepy passes over it with out any problems.
If you are seeking for an low-cost pool cleaner, then buy the Baracuda Wahoo. This is a cost effective automatic pool cleaner. The truth is above ground swimming pools can be utilized with in ground pools. I have installed it in several in ground swimming pools that have lots of leaves and dirt and it does a excellent job.
In fact I have a number of in which have without problems for more than a year. There is one down side if the manufacturer discovers that it is applied for an in ground pool the warranty is void. For the price the Baracuda and Kreepy are excellent cleaners and ought to be placed on your top list of feasible purchases.
