The Zodiac MX6<\/a> is a powerful suction-side pool cleaner designed for in-ground swimming pools. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Cyclonic suction technology<\/strong> gives it an extra edge over other suction cleaners when it comes to agitating and picking up debris.<\/p>\n

Moving on tracks, the MX6 easily traverses the pool floor and scales the walls for nearly complete coverage of your pool.<\/p>\n

Because of its low flow design, the Zodiac MX6 works great if you have a lower power pump.<\/strong> If you have a variable speed pump, the MX6 will work perfectly on the lower speed setting.<\/p>\n

There are complaints that the turbines under the MX6 are clogged easily by debris like leaves and fronds. Many pool owners also say the quality of hoses could be better. Also, note that the MX6 comes with 27.5ft of hose lengths. If you have a longer pool, you’ll need to buy extra sections.<\/p>\n

Zodiac MX6 Pool Cleaner Key Features<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Zodiac<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Cyclonic Suction<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Turbines under the MX6 cleaner spin as water passes over them. This creates powerful cyclonic suction that agitates debris and draws it into the cleaner.<\/p>\n

Cyclonic suction gives the MX6 better cleaning performance than most suction cleaners. Even without any scrubbing action, it manages to get the most dirt and grime out of the pool.<\/p>\n

2. Low Flow Design<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The MX6 cleaner is designed to run efficiently at a lower flow rate. This is a big plus if you have a lower RPM pump. It’s also good news if you have a 2-speed or variable speed pump. You can save energy by running the pump at a lower speed.<\/p>\n

3. Quick Connect Hoses with Swivel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Setting up the Zodiac MX6 is easy and quick, partly thanks to the quick connect hose. The hose snaps into the cleaner head without much fuss.<\/p>\n

The hose sections themselves are also easy to connect. They have a twist style locking mechanism that allows easy linking while ensuring there’s no loss of suction power.<\/p>\n

To prevent twisting and tangling, the hose connects to the cleaner using a swivel. This allows the hose to rotate and turn with the cleaner’s movements.<\/p>\n

4. Cleans Floor and Walls<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Zodiac MX6 provides almost full coverage of the pool. We say ‘almost’ because many customers say it struggles with steps.<\/p>\n

But for the floor and walls, it covers every inch, including the corners.<\/p>\n

The MX6 cleaner<\/a> uses X-Drive navigation to cover most of the pool without missing some spots.<\/strong> If you observe it moving in the pool, you’ll notice that at set intervals, it automatically changes direction.<\/p>\n

Unlike its more advanced sibling, the MX8, the Zodiac MX6 lacks a reverse suction.<\/strong> So it can get stuck in some particularly tough spots such as under the ladder or on the steps.<\/p>\n

To easily drive over obstacles and scale walls, the Zodiac MX6 is fitted with a pair of tracks. They provide better traction and mobility compared to wheels.<\/p>\n
