I bought this because the gasket at the bottom of my Kreepy Krauly would not stay attached to the body. At first I thought it was more a nuisance more than anything. I bought this because it was the only way I could reattach the round gasket (the circle part at the bottom that keeps the larger round "gasket" (?) in place had deteriorated). It was a risky purchase because I didn't know if it would work or not. I received it and, after watching a youtube video, was able to replace this in the original Kreepy. Once I got it together, I plugged it back in and got it going. It was like a brand new machine. I was able to reattach all of the parts to it, and now it works perfectly again. We inherited this machine when we got the new house, so i didn't have years of experience with it to notice the deteriorating performance, but I'm glad i got this part. I was on the verge of purchasing a new Kreepy, so this saved me a few hundred. If you need a replacement, this will definitely work.
