Application & Use

This drive tube kit replaces worn or damaged tubes located in the internal drive mechanism of compatible Kreepy Krauly suction cleaner models. Over time, drive tubes can wear or flex, causing sluggish movement, wheel slip, or uneven tracking. Installing fresh drive tubes restores smoother motion and helps maintain consistent cleaning cycles.
