Quick overview
- Pentair K12415 The factory silent flapper kit for the Kreepy Krauly Kruiser.
- The heart of the cleaner The flapper is the moving part that pulses the cleaner along, so its condition sets how well the whole unit works.
- Silent version The silent flapper is the quieter design, a welcome change on a cleaner running near a patio.
- Sold as a kit Supplied with the pieces needed for the change rather than the flapper alone.
- A wear item Flappers stiffen, tear and lose their shape with time, and that is normal service rather than a fault.
- Common symptoms A cleaner that has slowed down, gone noisy, or stopped moving at all is usually asking for a fresh flapper.

Product details
The Pentair K12415 is the silent flapper kit for the Kreepy Krauly Kruiser suction pool cleaner.
How the Kruiser works
A suction cleaner of this design has essentially one moving part. Water drawn through the body flips a flapper back and forth, and each flip pulls the cleaner a short distance forward. Everything else is a shell around that action, which is why a tired flapper takes the whole cleaner down with it.
When to fit one
Flappers stiffen, tear at the hinge and lose their shape after enough cycles. The signs are a cleaner that has become slow, one that has grown noticeably louder, or one that sits still while the suction line is clearly pulling. Fitting the fresh kit brings back the quiet, steady walk the cleaner had when it was new.
