Which is better floor cleaning or Kreepy?
In-Floor Cleaning Systems are designed to be repaired by the homeowner. When a part fails they simply call the manufacturer, and the manufacturer will send the replacement part directly to them. The actuator valve takes 5 minutes to rebuild, and the cleaning heads can be removed from the pool deck with ease. In-Floor Systems can only be installed when the pool is being built, therefore the homeowner cannot use their existing pump, because technically “they will not have a pump”. You are right; In-Floor systems are designed to keep smaller particles in suspension to be removed via the filtration system. For proper sanitation you should turn your pool water over twice a day. An In-Floor system actually increases your turnover rate, which will allow the homeowner to run their pumps less, saving them up to 30% on their power usage. Skimmers are on the suction side of the pump and have nothing to do with In-Floor Systems. Most skimmers can be adjusted manually to accommodate the conditions
