Product FAQs
What distinguishes the MX8 Elite from the original MX8?
The Elite includes Cyclonic Scrubbing Brushes that rotate against the pool surface to agitate stuck-on debris. Zodiac lists maX-Drive navigation, X-Trax and dual-cyclonic suction for MX8EL. Confirm the exact model before ordering replacement turbines or brushes.
Which pools and connections are supported?
Zodiac lists inground concrete, tile, vinyl and fiberglass pools. The cleaner connects to the skimmer or a dedicated 1.5-inch vacuum line; follow the complete plumbing and flow setup instructions.
How much hose is supplied?
The MX8 Elite specification lists 39 feet of Twist-Lock hose. The shared owner’s manual identifies eleven connector sections plus a leader hose with float for MX8 and MX8 Elite; quantities for MX6 models differ.
How do I verify proper flow?
With the cleaner fully submerged just below the waterline, time ten wheel rotations using the yellow indicator. The manual specifies 20–25 seconds. If the wheels change direction while counting, restart the count. Follow the complete flow-adjustment instructions.
How does the large-debris inlet setting work?
MX8 and MX8 Elite have a removable yellow inlet adapter. The manual describes small debris as the factory setting and a larger opening for leaves, then recommends returning to the factory setting after large-debris cleaning. Turn off the suction pump and disconnect the cleaner from the hose before changing the inlet.
Are the brushes replaceable?
Yes. Follow the manual for brush removal and replacement, and use the exact MX8 Elite parts. Zodiac recommends replacing worn brushes, or each season, to maintain cleaning performance. The current U.S. product table lists a one-year warranty; consult the applicable full terms.
