Seeking some help from you guys on behalf of a neighbor. Just got into the pool and we were trying to get the Kreepy to work. Here is what they have:
12x24x42 true L
Return side valved items
4 eyeballs
step eyeballs (2)
buddy seat eyeballs(2)
Suction side valved items:
main drain
north skimmer
south skimmer
dedicated cleaner line
1.5 hp superflo
sd80 sand filter (325 lbs)
When we hooked the kreepy to the dedicated line, it required all of the other suction valves to be turned off before it would really move. However, the pump would start to get air bubbles in the strainer area and the kreepy would start to barel move after a few minutes. We tried to run it through a skimmer with the same results. The best "fix" was having only one return open (buddy seat) to match one suction (cleaner). The kreepy moved around but we still got air bubbles that we had to keep an eye on so the pump would not run dry. The hose lengths are correct and the suction port in the pool is about 75 ft from the equipment. Any suggestions?
