Is your pool cleaner struggling to climb walls or getting stuck in corners? It might be time to check the tracks. For Zodiac MX8 and MX6 Elite pool cleaners, worn tracks are one of the most common causes of poor performance. Thankfully, the Zodiac R0526100 Track Kit offers a simple, cost-effective way to restore your cleaner to like-new function.
What These Tracks Do
The drive tracks are the rubber treads that help your Zodiac cleaner grip the surface of your pool. They provide the traction needed to navigate floors, slopes, and walls. When these tracks wear down or stretch out, your cleaner may lose its ability to climb or turn properly.
