Question
When I hookup my kreepy krauly and close the main drain the pump loses it prime why?
People end to use Kreepy wrong with a direct connection to the pump without its spring loaded improperly set diverter. Kreepy comes with a skimmer fitting that automatically opens and closes a gate for a combinationof pool water and vacuum intake and without it cleaner sticks to the wall and stops working.
