Gwf545 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I have a Kreepy Krauly classic that is currently connected via a skim plate and it works great! I have an unused poolside 1 1/2" threaded female PVC fitting that at some point under my concrete pool deck is reduced to 1" PVC and goes to the pump & filter where it is capped. This line was apparently used previously by a prior owner for a pressure driven cleaner which was replaced with a Kreepy. My question is: If I connected this 1" line to the existing 1 1/2" skimmer line with appropriate valves and / or regulators to balance the flow, would I be able to successfully run my Kreepy using the 1 1/2 " poolside fitting and not stress the pump? I have searched the web extensively and could find no conclusive information regarding the feasibility of doing this. I would appreciate any and all advice. Thanks.

Pool Clown Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 If correctly balanced, yes, it will work. However, keep in mind that ALL the debris will be going through that (small) line and may, err WILL be be prone to clogging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
