Know before you buy
The MX8 is designed to work effectively on all common in-ground pool surfaces, including vinyl, gunite, fiberglass, tile, and concrete.
No, the Zodiac MX8 is a suction-side cleaner that connects directly to your pool's existing filtration system. It does not require an additional booster pump.
The MaX-Drive navigation system uses advanced 360-degree patterns to maneuver the cleaner throughout the pool. This allows it to navigate around obstacles and reach corners more effectively than standard random-pattern cleaners.
The MX8 is optimized for pools up to 39 feet in length. If your pool exceeds this size, you may experience reduced coverage efficiency or require additional hose lengths, which could impact the cleaner's performance.
Dual cyclonic suction creates a powerful vortex that pulls debris into the cleaner while maintaining consistent suction. This design helps the unit pick up larger debris and prevents it from clogging as easily as single-suction models.
The X-Trax system is designed for high traction and grip on various surfaces. It is safe for all standard pool finishes and will not leave marks or damage the surface of your pool.
