Zodiac Twist Lock Hose Kit – Complete Pool Cleaner Replacement Set
Restore Peak Suction and Performance to Your Zodiac Cleaner
Bring your pool cleaner back to full power with the Zodiac Twist Lock Hose Kit, a complete OEM replacement set designed for maximum durability, flexibility, and leak-free operation.
This genuine Zodiac® hose assembly ensures a perfect fit for cleaners like the Zodiac MX6, MX8, and MX8 Elite, maintaining airtight suction and smooth movement across the pool. Whether you’re replacing an old hose line or upgrading your system, this full kit provides everything needed for reliable, professional-level performance.
Genuine Zodiac OEM Hose Kit for Perfect Fit
The Zodiac Twist Lock Hose Kit is a factory-original replacement set built to the same specifications as the hoses included with new Zodiac suction cleaners. Each section is engineered with Zodiac’s patented Twist Lock technology, providing a secure, watertight seal that eliminates air leaks and ensures full suction strength.
By using OEM hoses, you restore your system’s original performance—guaranteeing smooth cleaner movement, consistent pressure, and longer pump life. Generic or aftermarket hoses often fail to create a perfect seal, leading to suction loss, inefficient cleaning, and system strain.
Complete Kit for Hassle-Free Replacement
This Twist Lock Hose Kit comes as a complete replacement set, typically including ten 1-meter sections (for a total length of approximately 32 feet). Each hose features male and female Twist Lock ends for seamless, secure connection.
Everything you need to restore your cleaner’s suction line is included—just replace your existing sections one by one for an instant upgrade.
Each section:
-
Connects with a simple quarter turn using Zodiac’s Twist Lock design.
-
Locks securely for leak-free performance.
-
Detaches easily for service or storage.
No tools or sealants required—just twist, lock, and clean.
Compatible Zodiac Cleaner Models
The Zodiac Twist Lock Hose Kit is compatible with the following suction-side pool cleaners:
-
Zodiac MX6
-
Zodiac MX8
-
Zodiac MX8 Elite
-
Zodiac T5 Duo
-
Zodiac Baracuda X7 Quattro (select models)
If your cleaner uses the Twist Lock-style blue or gray hose sections, this kit is the correct replacement. Always confirm the connection type before ordering to ensure proper fit.
Engineered for Strength and Flexibility
Each Zodiac Twist Lock hose section is built from UV-stabilized, high-strength polymer that resists cracking, fading, and deformation caused by sunlight, chlorine, and constant water exposure.
The corrugated exterior prevents kinking while allowing easy bending around corners and obstacles. The smooth inner bore minimizes flow restriction and preserves maximum suction, helping your cleaner maintain consistent contact and coverage.
Leak-Free Suction Performance
Air leaks are one of the most common causes of poor suction and cleaner stalling. The Zodiac Twist Lock system eliminates this issue with a simple, mechanical locking mechanism that forms a tight, airtight seal at every connection.
This ensures:
-
Full suction power from pump to cleaner head.
-
Stable cleaner navigation across floors and walls.
-
Improved debris pickup and filtration.
-
Reduced pump stress and energy use.
If your cleaner is slowing down, losing suction, or bubbling at the surface, worn or cracked hoses are usually to blame—this complete kit fixes that instantly.
Modular, Easy-to-Replace Design
Because each section measures 1 meter (39 inches), you can replace individual hose sections later as needed. This modular setup gives you long-term flexibility—no need to replace the entire kit again if only one section becomes damaged.
Simply keep a few spare sections on hand and swap them out when needed to keep your cleaner operating at full strength.
Installation Instructions
Replacing your old hose line with the Zodiac Twist Lock Hose Kit takes just a few minutes:
-
Turn off the pool pump.
-
Disconnect your existing hose line from the cleaner.
-
Attach the new Twist Lock hose sections, connecting each with a quarter-turn twist.
-
Ensure the connections are tight and properly aligned.
-
Reconnect the cleaner to the skimmer or suction port.
-
Restart the pump and verify smooth suction and cleaner movement.
No tools or sealants are needed—just hand-tight connections that stay secure under pressure.
When to Replace Your Cleaner Hose Kit
Your cleaner hose experiences continuous flexing, UV exposure, and chemical contact—factors that gradually cause deterioration. Replace your hose kit if you notice:
-
Cracks, pinholes, or leaks.
-
Reduced suction power.
-
Cleaner stalls or stops mid-cycle.
-
Bubbling near hose joints.
Upgrading to a fresh Zodiac OEM hose kit restores performance and helps prevent damage to your pump and cleaner motor.
