Pentair LL505G Kreepy Krauly Legend Pressure-Side Inground Pool Cleaner, Grey Top, White Bottom Cleaner for Lighter Colored Pools

Very easy to install if you follow the directions. I have a 30000 gal pool and have tons of leaves so I was skeptical how well it was going to work. It cleaned the entire pool in almost one hour not kidding. For the people who wrote negative reviews must not have followed the directions and I am sorry they have issues. I selected this because my pool plaster renovation guy said it was what he would buy. I went 6 years without a pool cleaner and now I am kicking myself for not getting one sooner.Pros: its hauls butt(according to my friend who has another brand cleaner), does not lay over, has not got stuck on stairs, goes up the walls easy, cleans large leaves and twigs, backup on it works well, has a large bag.Cons: It is a bit difficult to reattach the hoses back on when you first cut them to the proper length but that is about all that is hard on setting it up.Things you might want to keep in mind when you are setting up... make sure your booster pump is working good that means turn it on and if you can't hold your hand on the water outlet or stop the water then you should be good. Clean the basket where it connects to the wall often otherwise it will not get the water pressure you need and it will look like a dead fish in the water. Also remember that your pool filter needs to be fairly clean so the added positive pressure from your main pump can help the booster pump pressure. The directions say lay the hose in the sun for a day so it will straighten out I didn't and its a bit curled up but if you bend it the opposite direction it will straighten out not a big deal. I would recommend leaving the rear jet pointing straight out too but follow the directions if your Kreepy starts doing wheelies point it a bit down. Remember it might not get all the leaves in an hour but most of them and I am fine with that.

We use this every day in our pool for 2-3 hours. It does not disappoint. It lasts us 3-4 years which do the math we get our use out of it. My husband buys the kits to replace the bearings once or twice in between when it does not drive properly. Easy and inexpensive. We are in our 3rd one and love it in our in ground pool.

worked right out of the box. Just had to cut the hose to fit my pool. Very compatible with parts from my older system, so I have a few spares of some of the various parts. RPMs was OK as-received. Works pretty well. I am pleased with the purchase. I have 15 yrs experience with a pool that has mostly pentair brand subsystems and parts. I trust this brand. That is why I chose it for the replacement of my worn out original cleaner.

This is my second Legend pool cleaner and I couldn't be happier. The first one I had was the original Letro Legend with the heavy treaded tires, it kinda looked like a miniature Hummer but a different body. It lasted 13 years and I could have probably replaced a few more parts for another couple of years.Installation: It took me about an hour to install (but I was working at a very leisurely pace). It super easy to install, most of the work is in cutting the supply hose to the proper length. Since I was replacing one almost just like it I was able to put the 2 hoses side by side and make it look exactly like my original. But I would think even not having the original hose to compare with it would have only take a bit longer. Next I attached the hose to the pool cleaner tube at the top and hand tightened the nut. Then I replaced the universal wall fitting. Using channel locks I unscrewed the original one and than replaced with the new one. I probably didn't need to replace it but since I had the new one I went ahead anyway.Next I installed the bag ( I used the one we had just replaced from our old cleaner as it was pretty new, now I have a spare). After that, I dropped it in the pool and turned the pressure pump on and it was off and running.Cleaning: I have 5 palm trees that have started dropping little seeds that are driving us crazy. This cleaner does an amazing job of cleaning those up. I run my cleaner for about 3 hours a day. Those seeds also get in the hot tube which is attached to the pool, but we found an item on Amazon that looks like a big windshield sunshield (you know the big hoop that you can twist into a very small size). Here's the link https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FT6GH3Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 .Durability:Speaking from past history, the one I am replacing I had for 13 years and only had to replace the debris bag (several as they only last a season or 2), tires (probably 3 times), wheel bearings (1 time), the sweep tube (1 time), and the backup valve (1 time). If you keep the unit maintained it will last for quite a while.Pros:- Has 4 wheels which makes it very stable.- Very easy to setup.- Cost, I paid $450 on Amazon which is a bargain compared to what the pool stores are charging for the 3 wheeled ones like a Polaris- Uses almost all of the same parts as my old oneCons:- Parts are on the expensive side (but that's with all pool equipment)All in all this is a great pool cleaner and I highly recommend it!
