A Kreepy Krauly is an automatic pool cleaner for in-ground swimming pools. Cleaning the pool can be turned from a time-consuming chore into a simple automated process using a Kreepy Krauly; the automatic pool cleaner runs when your pool pump runs, using the suction power of the water filtration system to clean dirt and debris from the bottom and walls of the pool. So you can put a Kreepy Krauly in the pool and leave it alone to do its job, keeping the pool sparkling and clean for you and your family.
