  • Programmed steering easily navigates around pool obstacles for uninterrupted cleaning.
  • Nothing rivals the sheer power of the Great White cleaner. It's the ultimate cleaning machine.

Dirt Can't Hide From This Hungry Guy

Take a big bite out of pool maintenance with the Kreepy Krauly Great White Cleaner from Pentair. This hungry guy is on the prowl, scouring the depths for dirt and grime. Unlike other cleaners, the Great White cleaner scrubs and vacuums away the toughest dirt. Its bristle-drive mechanism has the strength to knock loose the most stubborn dirt, while the powerful vacuum action whisks away small and large debris.

  • The bottom line: The Great White cleaner is well-suited for dish-, incline-, and hopper-bottom pools.
  • A clean sweep: Bristle brush design easily loosens dirt from pool surfaces.

Big Appetite

The Great White cleaner cuts a 15" cleaning path and effectively cleans gunite, fiberglass, vinyl and other specialty surfaces.

Dirt can't hide

Moves easily into hard-to-reach spots. The agile turning mechanism allows escape from difficult areas.

Fast, easy set-up

Simply remove the Great White cleaner from the box, attach the hose, place it in the water and you're ready to relax.

Ready to go

The cleaner comes fully equipped for immediate use. Also includes the UniDapt telepole adapter for spot clean-ups.

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Customers are mixed about the ability of the pool vacuum to climb. Some mention that it works flawlessly, it climbs the walls, and runs all around and cleans everything. However, others say that it never really climbed the walls.

"...The Great White and most vacuums will not climb the wall in this case. The incline to the wall...no problem... but not the actual side walls...." Read more

"...changes direction if it gets stuck or reaches the top of water, climbs walls, and semi-fast moving...." Read more

"...My winter settings - 11pm to 6am. It will not climb stairs and clean coves, but my scalloped 16x32 x6' rectangle." Read more

"...It is not designed to climb the walls or run a consistent pattern, you would need to purchase a more expensive model for this function...." Read more

25 customers mention8 positive17 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the movement of the pool vacuum. Some mention that it has few moving parts and starts moving around at a good clip, while others say that it does not move outside of a 6x6 square in. Some customers also mention that the cleaner needs very strong suction to move and that it continues to float to the top.

"...Wanted to try something new so I purchased a Kreepy Krauly. Hardly any moving parts made sense to me...." Read more

"...It does pick up palm date seeds, leaves, etc. minimal moving parts, the brushes and minimal moving parts is what I was looking for in a less than $..." Read more

"...Oh how I wish I could get my money back. This thing will get stuck on the side of the pool at a transition from angle to flat. Seriously...." Read more

"...was that after doing all this, I put it in the water and it failed to move--so after taking it to a pool place and asking if they could repair it, I..." Read more

10 customers mention4 positive6 negative

Customers are mixed about the noise of the pool vacuum. Some mention that it is quiet and barely makes any sound, while others say that it makes a horrible sucking sound and wakes them up.

"...when the wheels are worn it climbs out of the water and make a horrible sucking sound and wakes me up. Then the Great White...." Read more

"...This vacuum does the trick!!! And it barely makes any sound which is heaven for me. I hated the jackhammer. I highly recommend this vacuum!" Read more

"...Even swallows goggles!!!! What the??? LOLIt is a little noisy but for us it's not an issue because the pool is on ground level & our living..." Read more

"So far I love this. It cleans the entire pool, easy to set up, so quiet. Best cleaner we have owned so far." Read more

11 customers mention0 positive11 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the spin of the pool vacuum. They say that it likes to run in circles, doesn't like walls, corners, and misses a lot. The gears won't turn properly, and it looks like an entire section is busted. Some customers also mention that the vacuum simply refuses to go there and does not pick up anything but the smallest leaf pieces.

"...Finally after five years it started running in small circles and the guys at Leslie's Pool just threw up their hands...." Read more

"...the machine simply refuses to go there...." Read more

"...thing might just march into the shallow end, it interrupts itself, spins around, and inexplicably goes to the deep end...." Read more

"...about four months then it will start to shake itself apart... stop turning all the way... eat its own skirt start to get caught up...." Read more

My 2nd Great White Kreepy
5 Stars
My 2nd Great White Kreepy
When I bought my current home in 2017, I was excited to have my first in-ground backyard pool. It came with a Pentair GW9500 Great White Kreepy Krauly that the previous owner had purchased in 2015.From 2017 to 2024 the only maintenance we performed on it was to replace the vacuum skirt every spring at an average cost of $7.00.I am looking forward to another 8+ years of sparkling pool water.
