BEAT THE DROUGHT
With water restrictions you are not allowed to top up your swimming pool. This means that, when the water level drops below the side intake of your weir, your Kreepy Krauly cannot clean the pool any more and you cannot swim in the dirty water.
My solution: buy a small submersible pump (between R800 and R1 600) and drop it into the pool to pump water through a hose back into the weir. Close the weir hole (on the side) to the pool with a few bricks wrapped in black bags to create a “dam” in the weir for the pool pump to suck water, and your Kreepy works. The pool is clean and you can swim, water restrictions or not!
