Does Kreepy krauly K70400 work well on slick Tile pools? I have an expensive "the pool cleaner" with wheels and it just spins out.

The kreepy krauly should work as it does not rely on wheels for its motion. The manufacturer may recommend a specific model based on the construction of your pool.

Yes it does, but the unit is trash. I've had 3 wheels break and it does not do the best in cleaning. I usually have to run it twice to get the pool completely clean. Do a google search on Polaris 9300 and broken wheels. It a defect most owners wiill experience sooner or later. Hope this helps.

I have a Kreepy Krauly and my hoses also shake. The shaking is caused by a piece inside that produces a pulsating effect that makes the device move around the pool. It sounds like your Baracuda is working the way it was designed to.

If you can get your money back do it. These machines don't work in water with high mineral content. I bought two hoping to alternate them while I cleaned the scale off of one. That didn't even work. They won't work where you live. I use acid and chlorine and clearifier and now my pool sparkles.

I didn't experience this problem when I used the Twister. However I discontinued using it as it stopped working properly because it got clogged with debris (leaves, etc.). Without the twister my Kreepy cleans my pool efficiently and doesn't get hung up in corners. The proper length of hose I believe is critical to avoid hang ups.

There should not be an issue with using this vacuum in any type pool that I am aware of. It is very close in design to the Kreepy Krauly and in my opinion, works just as well.

It can suck some small leaves in, but not a whole mess of them. I love the skimmer, because I have to plug my kreepy krawler into my skimmer to clean the pool, so when I do this , I cannot clean the surface. The skimmer motion keeps the surface clear of scum,small bugs and small leaves. I am happy with it.

I wouldn't depend on Krylon as a solution to slick shoes. It will wear off and the danger would be you might not know when you transition from Krlon soles back to slick ones. Perhaps it would be safer to donate your shoes, take tax write off and purchase an appropriate pair. Good luck.

I haven't had either of these problems. My pool cleaner is a Kreppy Krawler and I have no problem with it messing with the cover.

I have it for an above ground pool. I could see that it would work for in-ground pools too. I love it. This rover is excellent and cleans the pool well. If mine ever tore up, I would order the same one, honestly. I have had no problems. I love it.

When I first got this generic KK the hoses were not long enough for my pool. I purchased and additional section at my local leslie's store and have never had a problem with it. After two summers it continues to work like a charm. You might want to add a section of the hose from a local pool store. I paid about $10 for mine.

We have only used in on carpet-does a real great job for such a cost effective machine. Does it say in the write up its goof for tile/vinyl floors? Don't recall seeing that-not out of the question but I'm not sure. Hope that helpsThanx Ron

I called Pentair which is the maker of kreepy krauly and the model 360048 can be used for either. I have a gunite pool and my sweeper has a pleated seal which can be used on either vinyl or concrete. The flat seal on other models can only be used on a concrete pooland not vinyl, however, if I wanted to replace my pleated seal with a flat seal, I could do that as I have a concrete pool. I was told the flat seals will last longer than the pleated on the concreted, but my last pleated seal lasted for 7 years.

I have never owed the Kreepy Krauly but the Xtremepower really works well on my in ground pool. I am really pleased with this product.

I've not had any problems with this auto pool cleaner. It work's great! I have an above ground pool and I vacuum it every other day. I'm very pleased with it so far. Also my pool is not real smooth on the bottom. I have some wrinkles to and I had concerns after buying it. But no problems with it running on around on the bottom.

We found that different settings of the wheels/axle resulted in more or less twisting. Generally, the more the robot turns, the more the cord seems to tangle. Try adjusting that, where you start the robot in the pool, or how long it cleans. For our pool (18x36 rectangle), making the wheels turn hardly at all and starting the robot at one end rather than the center kept the cord from tangling but still got our pool clean.

Hi, this is Steve at Aqua Products. Based on the limited data, I would say YES. The S2 Line has a wheels designed to handle these type of issues. However if your pool resembles a mogul run, it may not. My take is that it will not be a problem. Please remember to alternate the wheel pins to ensure complete pool coverage and to help prevent cable tangling.
