What should I expect from my VTX-C? 

How it moves

Your Kreepy Krauly VTX-C will move 
backwards in direction, with the 
water flowing through the base of 
the cleaner and alternately diverted 
between the two drive tubes. The 
kinetic energy generated by the 
water being trapped in each drive tube 
provides the lifting and propelling 
motion of the cleaner, which may result 
in a faintly audible ‘ticking’ sound. 

How it Steers

Your cleaner steers utilising its 
floatation assembly to create a 
Unique Crisscross Pattern. This allows 
your cleaner to efficiently cross the 
pool floor. In combination with the 
Ultra Flex hose, which ensures your 
cleaner is not restricted or directed by 
the hose.

How it Cleans

Your VTX-C will clean your pool 
daily with your normal filter cycle 
by gently Skimming, Scrubbing and 
Vortex Vacuuming your pool surface. 
Its side scoop in combination with 
Smart-Skim will remove leaves  
and debris from the floor and water 
surface and direct them to your 
skimmer basket and filter. Don’t be 
shocked if at first you see a white 
cloud appear around your cleaner, 
this is calcium build up being gently 
removed from your pool surface. The 
entire system efficiently delivers our 
promised Triple Clean with Vortex. 

The Ultra Flex Hose

The unique Ultra Flex hose rests just 
below the water surface, due to its 
buoyancy and hose weights. The ultra 
flex design means when the cleaner 
crosses paths with the hose section 
closest to the cleaner, it is able to 
move freely. This gives your cleaner 
the freedom and mobility to clean 
your pool so you can relax and enjoy 
your pool.
