Know before you buy
The hose weight is essential for neutralizing the buoyancy of the cleaner hose. By keeping the hose submerged and properly positioned, it prevents the cleaner from being pulled off the pool floor, ensuring consistent suction and better coverage.
This specific model is engineered exclusively for the Zodiac Baracuda G2 and G3 series. While it may physically fit other hoses, it is calibrated specifically for the weight and movement requirements of these two models.
For most installations, the weight should be placed on the first or second hose section near the cleaner head. Refer to your specific Baracuda G2 or G3 owner's manual for the exact distance, as proper placement is key to preventing the cleaner from flipping over.
Yes, the Zodiac Baracuda hose weight is designed to work effectively in both in-ground and above-ground pool environments. Its primary function remains the same regardless of the pool type: keeping the hose stable to maintain optimal cleaning patterns.
No tools are required. The weight is designed to snap or slide onto the existing hose sections easily, allowing for a quick, manual installation.
