Pentair 360302 Kreepy Krauly Warrior Inground Pool Cleaner – Powerful Suction Side Cleaning for Sparkling Results

Lisa: I have not had to vacuum my pool at all. Drop it in and let it work. Did have some issues finding the sweet spot for the float. Keep inching it up until you find the sweet spot.

ratherbereading: I’ve had this one for about 9 months. It cleans well and I haven't experienced any problems with the unit itself. It does climb the pool walls and when it gets to the surface of the water, it sucks in enough air to make the pump lose priming. After reading some of the answered questions, I tried adding weights and that worked very well, but here are the important details you need. I purchased 2 weights on Amazon that said they were for this model. I placed the weights at the bottom of the short leader hose right next to the sweep, and I moved the Hose Float to the standard hose above it, about 2 feet above the pool sweep. With this configuration, the weights prevent the sweep from climbing to the top of the pool and the hose float keeps the sweep upright when it is on the bottom of the pool. If the hose float is closer to the sweep, it acts against the weights.

kevdac84kevdac84: The media could not be loaded.  Good or bad reviews, I'm basing this off of my own personal experience with the Pentair Warrior Side Suction. I bought this guy on May 9th 2021 after replastering my pool and new tile all around and on the swim outs. After just 1 month, i knew spending 400 dollars plus tax was worth it. I was reluctant at first only spending 80-100 dollars on generic brands that were mediocre at best. After purchasing, the package came within 2 days. Setup was very easy and it was in the pool and cleaning within 10 minutes tops. This thing has been night and day compared to my previous purchases with pool sweepers. It's nice knowing that after a windy day or storm, i can rely on this Pentair to get literally everything off the bottom of the pool within 2 hrs. I'm very impressed with this pool sweeper after battling numerous brands that would get stuck on the steps and create a mark on the steps where it got stuck. Not with this guy. It will not get stuck. Word of advice though, after a week, open it up and check to if there's any debris (leafs, rocks) in the gears but so far it's been really good with sucking everything up. Only thing i changed after 7 months...

Daniel E. Manica: The media could not be loaded.  I purchased the original (poolvergnuegen) when the gentleman put it on the market 18 years ago. Worked flawless for 15 years. Purchased the hay@#%$ brand which purchased the patent and it was not good at all. This product seems to work really well. I had to adjust the suction by shutting the fountain off and since I have 2 skimmers I put an adjusting valve in one the cleaner is attached to the other. As you can see in the video it climbs the wall. So far very happy with it. Very easy to get to the gears if a twig gets stuck with no tools. Just snap off the front bracket and top comes right off. Easy maintenance. You may need to ask your poolgiy to adjust it just right but worth the effort.
P.S read the instructions! They are well written and easy to understand.
P.S.S. all parts are well made and seem to be made to last.

Steve P.: One Awesome Pool Cleaner! I have had the Pentair Warrior for about 4 months now.
My pool is now always spotless. It covers the entire pool (except for stairs).

Here's the best part. This determined pool cleaner climbs all the way up the side of your pool until there
is no more water for suction, then it gracefully drops back to the bottom to start the process all over again.
I think this is referred to as 'cleaning up to the tile line'.

For comparison I actually tested the Pentair Warrior side by side with original 'THE POOLCLEANER' for a few days in my pool.
Here's the difference between the two. From a design perspective, and at the bottom where the suction occurs, the Warrior simply has a better suction system.
While 'THE POOLCLEANER' creates its seal with pool floor using an array of toggles (sort of like a toggled skirt), the Pentair Warrior has
a much tighter and smoother sealing mechanism which creates much better suction.

The result is as follows:
While the original 'Pool Cleaner' climbs your pool wall up to about 1 and 1/2 feet from the top of the water line (before returning to the
bottom), the Pentair Warrior with the better...
