Zodiac MX-8 Quick Connector Hose Adapter – OEM Part for Zodiac Suction Cleaners
Restore Secure Connections and Suction Power
Your Zodiac MX6 or MX8 suction-side cleaner is only as effective as the connections that keep its hoses sealed tight. The Zodiac MX-8 Quick Connector Hose Adapter is a genuine OEM replacement part designed to lock your cleaner’s hoses together with a secure, leak-free fit. Over time, connectors can wear out, loosen, or crack, leading to suction loss, reduced cleaning efficiency, and more work for you. Replacing worn connectors with this factory-made part restores full performance and ensures your cleaner keeps running at peak power.
If your hoses keep slipping apart, or you notice your cleaner struggling with suction, this small but critical part may be the solution. By choosing the Zodiac OEM quick connector, you’re guaranteeing the correct fit, durability, and compatibility your cleaner was built to rely on.

Hoses disconnecting during cleaner operation.

Air bubbles entering the system, causing pressure loss.

Protect Your Pool Investment
Your pool cleaner is a major time-saver, helping you maintain sparkling water with less manual effort. But even the best cleaners rely on small components like hose connectors to keep everything running smoothly. A worn-out or leaking connector can cause:
-
Reduced suction power – leading to missed debris and dirty spots.
-
Increased energy use – as your system works harder to compensate.
-
Premature wear – on hoses, cleaner parts, and your filtration system.
Replacing your MX-8 quick connector is a simple, affordable way to protect your investment and keep your entire cleaning system running efficiently.
