      <title><![CDATA[Our Customer’s Automatic Pool Cleaner Experience]]></title>
      <link>http://www.kreepykrauly.com.au/blog/Our-Customers-Automatic-Pool-Cleaner-Experience/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><span>We love hearing from our customers! Here is an email we received from a customer, commenting on his journey using different automatic pool cleaners.</span></p>
<p>Hi Kreepy Krauly People,</p>
<p>I&rsquo;d like to share my story with you. &nbsp;I used to sell Kreepy Krauly products 16 years ago, and my pool had an old Kreepy Krauly Conquest installed when I moved into this house in February 2000. &nbsp;I replaced it a couple of years later, and kept the new one going with replacement parts for about 10 years until it finally got too old to work properly. &nbsp;By this time, I was working for Bunnings, and I decided to buy one of their Poseidon cleaners, thinking that as it cost &frac14; the price of the KK, if it lasted 2 years, it would be cheaper over time. &nbsp;Of course, it didn&rsquo;t last 2 years, and the hose sections had to be replaced at an alarming rate, at $15 a section. &nbsp;I replaced the whole machine with another Poseidon, which was a newer model, but still it didn&rsquo;t last 2 years. &nbsp;I bought a genuine Kreepy Krauly hose instead of the rubbish sections, and this lasted for over 5 years through 3 different cleaners. &nbsp;In the meantime, I had 2 Poolrite Triphibian &lsquo;Head Only&rsquo; cleaners, which WERE very cheap, but didn&rsquo;t clean my pool efficiently, and also, of course, didn&rsquo;t last very long, either, needing the diaphragm replaced at 6 month intervals.</p>
<p>Well, having spent far more than the cost of a genuine Kreepy Krauly over the past 8 years, I have learned my lesson - my pool was never really clean, and I had to constantly remove leaves and sand that washed into the pool from the garden by hand, as the other cleaners couldn&rsquo;t handle it.</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent.fper1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-0/q87/p235x350/21587235_634182070303364_1814037069763672749_o.jpg?oh=e4ac7f40b8c01f118b870af934e13b77&amp;oe=5A4E4AF2" alt="" width="1014" height="350" /></p>
<p>Within 2 days of dropping the VTX7 into my pool and after emptying lots of skimmer baskets, several cartridge filter cleanings and a total of 10 hours pump running time, my pool was cleaner than it&rsquo;s been&nbsp;in 8 years. &nbsp;I might actually feel comfortable getting into the water this year, when the weather warms up - it&rsquo;s looking a lot more inviting than it has for a long time!</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent.fper1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/21551851_634182106970027_4595540397667120958_o.jpg?oh=19c87c25c9df5cefd5b114f412b6c37b&amp;oe=5A5193A8" alt="" /></p>

      <title><![CDATA[7 Hot Tips to Winterising your pool]]></title>
      <link>http://www.kreepykrauly.com.au/blog/7-Hot-Tips-to-Winterising-your-pool/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img class="spotlight" src="https://scontent.fper1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/21083062_624934377894800_4541599837728743159_o.jpg?oh=23f6084d8f52c487d3ca4afa742cdbfd&amp;oe=5A25EAB1" alt="Image may contain: shoes and fire" /></p>
<p>Got a gorgeous pool that needs maintenance over the cold winter months? Here are 7 hot and EASY tips to keeping your pool ready for summer. We promise it will be easier than a winter diet to get a bikini body for when the sun comes out&hellip;</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Tip #1 - Cover your pool and modify your chlorination settings to not over chlorinate</li>
<li>Tip #2 - Fortnightly check your chlorine and pH levels</li>
<li>Tip #3 - Occasionally check your skimmer basket and empty as required</li>
<li>Tip #4 - Don&rsquo;t forget to check your water level of your pool is half way up your skimmer box opening</li>
<li>Tip #5 - Occasionally check your filter pressure gauge to see if your filter needs a clean or backwash</li>
<li>Tip #6 - To prevent moisture build up in your light, turn your pool lights on once a week for at least&nbsp;30 minutes</li>
<li><strong>Tip #7 - And the most important tip, LEAVE your Kreepy Krauly plugged in and ready for daily service, to prevent staining, maintain circulation and proper filtration.&nbsp;</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Most people don&rsquo;t know that your Kreepy Krauly is designed to stay in the pool working away so you don&rsquo;t have to. He will keep ticking along cleaning your pool underneath your pool blanket everyday, working with your filtration system to properly filter your pool. This will ensure naughty leaves that slip through your pool blanket will be whisked away to prevent staining and ideal circulation will be maintained without the need to get your hands cold. An added bonus is there will be no lifting and bending of a robot through winter and summer with a truly automatic solution, just set and forget!</p>
<p>For pool advise, hints and tip, please contact one of our friendly local dealers at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kreepykrauly.com.au/dealer/locator/search/" target="_blank">https://www.kreepykrauly.com.au/dealer/locator/search/</a></p>

      <link>http://www.kreepykrauly.com.au/blog/Tired-of-getting-cold-hands-this-winter/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://scontent.fper1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/20689739_618215178566720_3321077568856729833_o.jpg?oh=b5fccec9f68c89da5f4c1ed4167dc087&amp;oe=59EB8640" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With a Kreepy Krauly in your pool you won&rsquo;t have to get your hands cold, even better no lifting in and out a robot or having to remember to plug it in.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Through winter your pool still needs some TLC, so why not make your life easier with a Kreepy Krauly. It is designed from the ground up to be a truly automatic pool cleaning system. You simply connect it to your skimmer box and let it take your pool water from all over the pool directly to your pool&rsquo;s filtration system for a proper clean, reducing dead spots. Your cleaner will pick up leaves that sneak past your pool blanket reducing staining, improve circulation and help keep algae away. Even better it will come on everyday with your pool pump to ensure all the hard work is outsourced, without you needing to even think about it.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So enjoy the cold winter months surfing in an extra thick stylish wetsuit or being rugged up in front of a fire watching movie and leave the pool cleaning to the Kreepy. He will happily work 365 days a year taking on leaves, sand and anything else your pool throws at him, leaving you free for the more important things.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>We love hearing from our customers&hellip;<br />Barb especially made us smile and laugh when she sent us her comments via our contact form on her thoughts of our cleaners.<br />&ldquo;We built our house in 1989 and most items have been replaced including some veins in my husband's heart but Kreepy keeps on and on. Sometimes we have to give him a bit of CPR to encourage him but he always does a great job EVERY DAY.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[4 Ways To Keep Your Pool Maintenance Costs Down.   ]]></title>
      <link>http://www.kreepykrauly.com.au/blog/4-ways-keep-maintenance-costs-down/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>A backyard pool is an investment providing endless hours of entertainment for your family and friends. However, the upkeep and costs associated with a pool are less enjoyable. Here are the top ways to reduce pool maintenance costs.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>&nbsp;1.&nbsp;Maintain the right chemical balance.</strong></span></p>
<p>Many issues originate from an incorrect pH or chlorine level and whilst it could sound like a chemistry lesson there are lots of easy testing equipment available to reduce the hassle of testing your pool&rsquo;s water quality.</p>
<p>&nbsp;Keeping on top of your pool&rsquo;s chemical balance will mean you&rsquo;re aware of any issues before they need an expensive fix. A correct chlorine level will reduce bacteria and algae which could cause costly damage to your pool whilst the right balance will remove grease and oil that could damage your pool cleaner.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<img src="https://www.kreepykrauly.com.au/media/wysiwyg/1w.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>2.Think about a pool cover.</strong></span></p>
<p>A perk of living in Australia is our endless summer days and big backyards. Unfortunately, this means our swimming pools are also open to the elements. A pool cover will help reduce your heating costs by insulating the pool and prevent water evaporation cutting the cost of topping up your pool. And as an added benefit to your Kreepy Krauly pool cleaner, a cover will help stop those large leaves and debris falling into the water decreasing the energy cost of running the cleaning system.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://www.kreepykrauly.com.au/media/wysiwyg/2w.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>3. Choose the right landscaping</strong></span></p>
<p>We&rsquo;ve just talked about the benefits of a pool cover, but you can further reduce the costs of pool maintenance by keeping your garden in top shape. Regularly pruning overhanging branches and sweeping fallen leaves or flowers will help your pool cleaning system make light work of cleaning. By removing the burden of extra leaves, your pool cleaner will run more efficiently on less energy and have a prolonged life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://www.kreepykrauly.com.au/media/wysiwyg/3w.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>4. Prevention is Key</strong></span></p>
<p>It&rsquo;s more efficient and easy to start out the right way when maintaining your pool. Starting with good practices and investing in a quality Australian pool cleaner will mean you&rsquo;re far less likely to have to deal with unwanted and costly issues later on down the track.</p>
