Zodiac MX-8 Quick Connector Hose Adapter – OEM Part for Zodiac Suction Cleaners
The Essential Connector for Your Zodiac Cleaner System
Keep your pool cleaner operating at peak efficiency with the Zodiac MX-8 Quick Connector Hose Adapter—a genuine OEM replacement part designed for a secure, airtight connection between your suction hose and cleaner head.
If your Zodiac MX6 or MX8 cleaner is losing suction or disconnecting from the hose line, this adapter restores a perfect seal and ensures smooth, reliable cleaner performance. Built from high-strength materials and precision-molded to factory standards, this part helps maintain powerful suction and extends the life of your Zodiac system.
Genuine Zodiac OEM Part for Perfect Fit
This Quick Connector Hose Adapter is a Zodiac Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) component, specifically designed for the MX-Series suction-side pool cleaners. It guarantees exact compatibility, reliable sealing, and lasting durability.
OEM parts are built to match your cleaner’s specifications exactly—ensuring that every connection point lines up perfectly, with no gaps or leaks that can reduce suction efficiency. Generic adapters often fit loosely or degrade quickly, but the Zodiac Quick Connector provides a precise, snug fit that restores the performance your cleaner was designed for.
Compatible Models
The Zodiac MX-8 Quick Connector Hose Adapter (also used with some MX6 cleaners) is compatible with the following suction cleaner models:
-
Zodiac MX8
-
Zodiac MX8 Elite
-
Zodiac MX6
-
Zodiac T5 Duo (select systems using twist-lock hose ends)
If your cleaner uses the Zodiac Twist-Lock hose system, this is the correct replacement adapter to maintain the airtight connection between hose and cleaner head.
Restores Full Suction Power and Mobility
A worn or damaged hose adapter can cause air leaks, weak suction, or intermittent cleaner movement. Replacing it with a genuine Zodiac Quick Connector helps:
-
Eliminate air intrusion that reduces vacuum strength.
-
Ensure secure hose attachment to prevent disconnects during operation.
-
Improve cleaner navigation and debris pickup efficiency.
-
Extend the lifespan of your cleaner and pump by reducing strain.
This small yet critical component keeps your suction system airtight—allowing your cleaner to glide smoothly and maintain consistent pressure across the pool floor and walls.
Easy, Tool-Free Installation
Installing the Zodiac MX8 Hose Adapter takes just a few seconds and requires no tools or adhesives.
-
Turn off your pool pump.
-
Detach the existing hose adapter or damaged connector.
-
Align and push the new adapter into the cleaner inlet until it clicks or locks into place.
-
Attach the hose section using the twist-lock or friction connection.
-
Restart the system and verify that suction and movement are restored.
This quick fix can instantly bring your cleaner back to full power—no professional service required.
Heavy-Duty, Long-Lasting Construction
Built from UV-stabilized, chemical-resistant polymer, the Zodiac MX8 Quick Connector is designed to withstand years of use in harsh pool environments. It resists cracking, fading, and warping from chlorine exposure or direct sunlight.
The precision-molded locking tabs ensure the adapter stays securely in place through constant motion and water pressure, maintaining a tight seal without loosening or detaching mid-cycle.
Maintain Efficiency with Genuine Zodiac Components
Your Zodiac cleaner is designed as a precision-engineered system, where each part plays a role in maintaining suction strength and movement balance. Using genuine Zodiac replacement parts ensures that your equipment continues performing exactly as it was designed.
Generic or off-brand fittings may seem compatible, but they often introduce subtle leaks or misalignments that degrade performance and increase wear on your pump and cleaner gears. Choosing genuine Zodiac OEM ensures optimal pressure, reliability, and longevity.
When to Replace Your Hose Adapter
Inspect your connector periodically for:
-
Visible cracks or worn locking tabs
-
Loose or uneven fit between hose and cleaner
-
Air bubbles entering the cleaner line during operation
-
Loss of suction or slow cleaner movement
Replacing the adapter at the first signs of wear keeps your system sealed and efficient, preventing larger repairs later.
Compatible with Twist-Lock Hose System
This adapter is designed to work seamlessly with the Zodiac Twist-Lock hose system, ensuring quick, tight connections between hose sections and the cleaner inlet. The quarter-turn locking design provides a secure, leak-free seal while allowing easy removal for maintenance or storage.
