Funmit Pleated Seal & Clear Foot Pad for Kreepy Krauly/Pentair — K12896 K12059, 420mm OD, Rubber Contact

These Funmit replacement parts—K12896 pleated seal and K12059 clear foot pad—restore suction and reliable contact for compatible Kreepy Krauly/Pentair suction pool cleaners.

If your Kreepy Krauly or Pentair suction cleaner is losing grip, skipping spots, or showing visible wear on the seal and foot pad, the Funmit K12896 pleated seal and K12059 clear foot pad are direct-fit replacements engineered to bring performance back without buying a whole new cleaner. Both parts are made from durable materials sized to match common Kreepy Krauly and Pentair models and are suitable for all major pool surfaces.

How do these parts improve pool cleaner suction and coverage?

Replacing a worn pleated seal and foot pad tightens the vacuum path and restores consistent floor contact, which helps the cleaner maintain steady suction and sweep more effectively. The pleated seal’s geometry and the foot pad’s flexible rubber improve the seal against the pool surface and reduce bypassed water.

• Pleated seal OD 420mm and ID 110mm for correct fit and airflow control
• K12059 rubber foot pad reinforces seal contact and prevents leaks
• Designed to fit original mounting points—no drilling or trimming required

Which cleaner models and pool surfaces are these replacements compatible with?

Funmit engineered these parts to directly replace Kreepy Krauly and many Pentair seals and pads, matching dimensions and attachment styles used on common suction models. They are suitable across the usual pool finishes so you won’t need special parts for tile, plaster, or vinyl surfaces.

• Fits Kreepy Krauly models: K70400, K70405, newer 360040, 360042, 360048, and Aqua EZ-VAC APC493
• Direct replacements for Kreepy Krauly part numbers K12896, K12894, 370483Z, 370478Z and Pentair Starfish K12895
• Works on plaster, tile, marcite, pebble, vinyl, fiberglass, and concrete pool surfaces

What are the material specs and why do they matter?

The pleated seal combines a durable plastic frame with pleated sealing elements to maintain efficiency over time, while the foot pad uses resilient rubber that holds the seal in position and cushions contact with the pool floor. Those choices balance longevity with flexibility so the cleaner keeps traction without damaging pool finishes.

• K12896 pleated seal: outside diameter 420mm (16.5"), inside diameter 110mm (4.4"), high-efficiency suction profile
• K12059 foot pad: high-quality rubber, built to retain the pleated seal and enhance contact
• Materials selected for wear resistance and repeated flex cycles in pool conditions

How easy is installation and what should I check before ordering?

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic pool cleaner maintenance: remove the old seal and pad, align the replacement, and seat it to the factory mounting points. Check the model numbers on your cleaner or the existing parts to confirm compatibility or contact Funmit support for verification before purchasing.

• Simple remove-and-replace process—no special tools in most cases
• Confirm your cleaner model (e.g., 360040, 360042) or existing part numbers before ordering
• Contact Funmit customer service if you’re uncertain about fit

Who is this for: Pool owners and maintenance professionals who want a cost-effective way to restore suction performance on Kreepy Krauly and compatible Pentair suction cleaners. These Funmit replacements are ideal if you’ve noticed reduced cleaning efficiency, visible wear on the seal or foot pad, or if routine maintenance calls for direct-fit parts to extend the life of your existing cleaner without complex modification.
