A worn or torn pleated seal results in reduced suction, erratic movement, or a cleaner that stays stationary. This seal is compatible with concrete, pebble tec, fiberglass, and vinyl pool surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0; border: 1px solid #ccc;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePentair Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eK12896\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eBlue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePoolaroo Pro Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, compare the color and profile of your existing pleated seal to the product photo above. The pleated seal number and color are the two most common sources of mis-orders in Kreepy Krauly cleaner service. If your cleaner moves slowly in one direction or stops making contact with the pool floor, inspect the seal for tears, stiffness, or deformation along the pleated edge — these are the typical failure signs that indicate the seal needs replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual:2026-05-01 --\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51774100635923,"sku":"K12896","price":127.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/PENK12896_0.jpg?v=1747698369","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/pentair-kreepy-krauly-pleated-seal-blue-k12896","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
