    Broken Nylon Safety Cover Strap

    I'm sorry I'm having a really hard time picturing how that would work being that the material is so thick it would be near impossible to have 2 straps looped in an S formation around the same buckle. No chance u could circle in my picture what u mean exactly?

    Broken Nylon Safety Cover Strap

    Hi, The strap is sewn onto the cover but broke midway down the strap so I'm guessing I need to sew on more nylon strap where it broke or connect the 2 broken ends with a buckle? Manufacturer is GLI.

    Kreepy Krauly and Multivalve Setting

    Hi Jezza, Thank you so much for the quick reply. Now my only question is I'm assuming all debri will be pushed to my filter correct? In that case I anticipate needing to backwash and replenish DE quite a bit. Is that correct? I add my DE via my skimmer line so I'm assuming this may be a bit...

    Hello, I am using my kreepy krauly for the first time. I am attaching it to my skimmer suction line directly. Can anyone tell me what setting my pump/filter should be on? Vacuum to waste, backwash or filter? I have a multivalve on a Hayward DE filter. Thanks so much! Sent from my SCH-I545...

    Solid Safety Cover Use

    Thanks so much to you both! That really clears things up, the only other thing I wanted to do is upload a couple pictures and make sure the cover isnt sagging too much and that the water isnt too low since I made the recommended adjustments to water level and cover springs. Your expert judgment...

    No suction at Skimmer Line PLEASE HELP
