Owning a pool can be a lot of fun, but pool cleaning can be real chore if you are using sub-standard equipment to do the job. Dealing with clogs and jams can make things even worse. The Pentair GW9500 Kreepy Krauly Great White Pool Cleaner is one of the most popular options for in-ground pools today. First off, it is an automatic cleaner, which in itself makes pool maintenance much less of an ordeal. Second, its very design is resistant to jamming as it does its job cleaning up all of the debris that may have fallen into your swimming pool.
This is one of those items for which the user comments are probably the best thing you can read. Scroll down to see the pros and cons, but you will probably notice that there are mostly good things written about the Great White Pool Cleaner. It seems that it has earned its reputation as one of the better pool cleaning products available today.
The price for this unit is not cheap, but compared to similar products that do not get reviews nearly as good, it looks like a pretty good deal. This pool cleaner is made for in-ground swimming pools.
The Pentair GW9500 Kreepy Krauly is meant to be a relatively low cost, low maintenance automatic pool cleaner that will not need your constant attention. With that said, I am updating this post simply because it seems that there is a split now between happy owners and dissatisfied ones. The people who are happy with this automatic pool cleaner cannot say enough good about it, however there does seem to be an issue for some people wherein the cleaner gets stuck in certain spots in the pool. The lights seem to cause some people issues. Still, the happy customers seem to outweigh the others by about a two to one margin, and the price is better than the competition’s comparable products. I suppose this will come down to how important saving a couple of hundred dollars is to you and whether you would be willing to go to the trouble of returning the product if you did find that there was an issue with your particular inground swimming pool.
