providing high performance, reliable and energy-efficient products. The story begins way back in 1951, when a penniless refugee, Ferdinand Chauvier, from the then Belgian Congo, brought his family to South Africa. Ferdi was a qualified hydraulics engineer, and had previously owned a hydraulic pump factory. Danny discussed the possibility of an automatic pool cleaner with his father, who soon put some ideas together, making use of his hydraulics engineering background. In 1974, the first machines were made from wood and rubber tubing, which incidentally were melted together on the kitchen stove! Danny took these prototypes out to his clients, and most were extremely reluctant to part with them, once it had been demonstrated to them in their pool. By 1978 a sufficient number of cleaners had been sold to cover the costs of plastic injection moulding, and the first Kreepy Krauly's, as we know them today, were rolled out. As technology has developed and advancements have been made over the years, the Kreepy Krauly has been improved on, so that the nuts and bolts of yesteryear have been replaced with clip-on, single piece moulded plastic parts. In fact, the patented design, with a few improvements, is so solid, that it has essentially remained the same for over 27 years! Kreepy Krauly has become a household name in South Africa, and has been proud to be associated with the sponsorship of swimming, yachting, motorcar racing, motorbike racing and paraplegic athletes over the years.
