User questions & answers

Question:	I`m not seeing any scrubers on the bottom of this zodiac mx8 i think there is two models i need one with scrubers for gunite customer was no help
Answer:	The difference between the MX8 and the MX8 Elite suction-side pool cleaners is the scrubbing brushes and the turbines. Many customers love the scrubbing brushes offered on the latest model. Josh's response below has some validity in that you should consider your debris type before deciding which cleaner to purchase. Suction cleaners work best on pools with small to medium debris. If you have heavy leaf or twig debris, you may want to consider a pressure or robotic cleaner. For help deciding which cleaner will best meet your pool cleaning needs, you can use our Pick Your Cleaner tool here: https://www.zodiac.com/en/united-states/pick-your-cleaner For more information about Zodiac suction cleaners, you may visit: https://www.zodiacpoolsystems.com/en/products/suction Thanks for considering Zodiac and Polaris pool products.

User questions & answers

Question:	will these fit on a mx8 non elite
Answer:	Just rebuilt mine worked great and super easy to do.
Question:	Where is the wheel engine bearing r0527000 - 2 pack
Answer:	Yes. I got it for my MX8 and works great. Check the old bearings if they need replacing also. Mine did, had to order separately.
Question:	Will this kit work on the mx8 elite as well as the baracuda
Answer:	Yes, all the parts fit. You can find on U-tube the installation instructions for all the parts.
Question:	Will thos kit fit on an Mx
Answer:	Wheel tracks will work for sure. As is with all underwater cleaners like this, the rubber parts will wear over time with continuous daily use. It should be expected and in no way a surprise. Using another brand will not prevent this, as another person suggested. Anyone with a pool knows there is a cost with upkeep, and replacing 1 or 2 worn parts every 2 or 3 years is a decent way to save. I have had my mx8 for several years now and only had to replace worn parts once this far. Doing my 2nd swap shortly. I absolutley suggest the mx8 device, and these parts for repair.
Question:	will these parts fit the mx
Answer:	The 410 and 420 are the same machine except for the the blade size

User questions & answers

Question:	is this an mx8 part or a mx8 elite part
Answer:	Not brushes but stiff rubber - it does an exceptional job and I am glad I purchased it. I do not know the answer to your model. I own an MX8
Question:	Does it actually have brushes on it, does it fit on the DX6, It is difficult to replace it
Answer:	I have not been able to find a part number for just the fins. As far as I can tell they are only sold as a unit with the turbine assembly, which is rediculous considering they are a wear item and shouldn’t cost more than a few dollars if you could buy them alone.
Question:	part number for scrubbing fins
Answer:	Before you replace the fins , you can switch the turbine assembly from side to side and let the other side of the fins get woren.
Question:	Can you replace the scrubbing fins if they wear down from use? Or do you have to replace this entire assembly? Thanks
Answer:	Everything on the MX8 Baracuda is very easy to replace. I guarantee anybody can do the replacement

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the model number
Answer:	I am not sure what you mean about the "blue inch adaptor". There is short piece of hose that came with mine.
Question:	Is this product new? we have a zodiac mx3 cleaner, will this leaf catcher work with our equipment

Question:	Will this work with a regular manual pool vacuum
