Pentair Kreepy Krauly 'Lil Shark' Above-Ground Pool Cleaner - 10" Adjustable Path, Dual Nylon Bristles

The Pentair 360100 Kreepy Krauly 'Lil Shark' is a durable above-ground suction pool cleaner that scrubs and vacuums automatically with a 10-inch adjustable cleaning path.

Designed for easy setup and effective debris removal, the 'Lil Shark combines a rugged housing with dual nylon-bristle bands to tackle dirt most other cleaners miss. It operates from your pool's skimmer suction and requires only a single moving part, simplifying maintenance and prolonging life. Included is 32 feet of hose so you can get the cleaner in the water and working in minutes without special tools or fittings.

How does the 'Lil Shark remove stuck-on grime?

The cleaner uses two concentric bands of sturdy nylon bristles that rotate as the unit travels, providing active scrubbing as well as suction. This mechanical brushing helps dislodge material clinging to pool surfaces so the suction can carry it to your filter. Its adjustable brush ring lets you set the contact pressure for different surface types, from vinyl to coated steel.

• Dual nylon-bristle bands for active scrubbing
• Adjustable brush ring to tailor scrubbing force
• Suction-powered operation pulls loosened debris into the filtration system

Will it fit and install easily in my above-ground pool?

Yes — the 360100 is engineered for quick, tool-free setup using your pool skimmer. Connect the included hose to the cleaner and skimmer, submerge the unit, and it will begin its cleaning cycle. The straightforward design eliminates the need for extra fittings, making it suitable for most skimmer-equipped above-ground pools.

• Installs via pool skimmer—no special adapters required
• Comes with 32 feet of hose for broad reach
• Simple one-piece housing keeps assembly time minimal

How wide an area does it clean and how adjustable is the path?

The 'Lil Shark offers an adjustable cleaning width around 10 inches, so you can broaden or narrow the swath depending on pool size and obstacles. The flexible path helps the cleaner navigate corners and contours while maintaining consistent suction and brushing. Adjustability helps optimize coverage in small round pools or longer rectangular layouts.

• Adjustable cleaning path approximately 10 inches wide
• Flexible movement adapts to pool shape and obstacles
• Consistent brushing and suction across the selected path

What makes this model low-maintenance and long-lasting?

The unit is built around a single moving component and a resilient housing to reduce wear points and simplify repairs. Nylon bristles are chosen for durability and resistance to pool chemical exposure. Routine upkeep is limited to inspecting the brush bands and hose connections rather than frequent part swaps.

• Rugged housing resists impact and weathering
• Only one moving part reduces breakdown risk
• Nylon bristles endure chemical exposure and regular use

Who is this for: The Pentair 360100 Kreepy Krauly 'Lil Shark' is suited for owners of skimmer-equipped above-ground pools who want a straightforward, durable cleaner that scrubs as it vacuums. It works well for pool owners who prefer minimal setup and maintenance, need reliable debris removal across varied surfaces, and appreciate a compact, long-lived unit rather than a complex robotic cleaner.
