## Overview

The Zodiac MX6 is a compact, suction-side pool cleaner that uses cyclonic turbine technology and X-Trax grip to deliver powerful, energy-efficient cleaning. It navigates floors and walls with hydraulic suction-driven gears, requiring no batteries or extra electricity. Easy to install via skimmer or dedicated suction line, it’s designed for durable, low-maintenance operation that keeps pools spotless with minimal effort.

## Description

The Zodiac MX6 is a compact suction-side pool cleaner designed to deliver complete cleaning with minimal effort. Its lightweight, agile design allows it to navigate any pool surface, delivering debris directly to the pool’s filtration system. When set for optimal flow, hydraulic suction drives the internal gears for thorough pool coverage and powers the cyclonic turbine to enable wall climbing. The MX6 maintains constant vacuum power from your pool pump—no batteries to charge, no internal filters to empty. Just set it up via dedicated suction line or skimmer port, drop it in, and let it go to work.

Review: It works for me, better than Kreepy Crawly - First of all lets face it, done of these products are inexpensive . But for the value I found this M6 simple to operate and the best value. Recently I've tried the newest "Smart" Robot, Battery and Electric. They suck. If your trying to impress your techie friends go ahead and waste your money. I'll take a simple mechanical item that works over some high tech electronic item any day. Regarding the Smart Battery Robot, they get confused, just like the ones that are suppose to clean your house (shark, ninja ,etc). This is the thing!! $$$$$$ The batteries are going to wear out, electronic parts are going to go out. You can count on that! Only 1 year warranty. The one unit I brought paid over $700.00 Called the manufacture and asked the cost of the replacement battery. They wouldn't tell me, they said when the battery goes out, you need to buy a new machine . Really !! Ok Back to the M6 . If you follow the instruction, really simple it works great. Two important issues. #1 the hose length is important , just one length too many and it gets curly cues and hinders the operations . #2 the rpm of the wheels is based on the flow volume of your pool. The suggested rotation 20-25 per 10 revolutions doesn't work for everyone. I have a 16,000 gal. 32 ft. long pool. With a Solar heating system. When the solar is working, my flow rate is about 38 rpm , with my pump running at 2000 rpm's. When the solar is not working, my flow rate at the same pump speed goes up to about 50 to 55 gpm. With the solar on I have to adjust my diverter valve for the M6 to 17-18 revolutions to get more volume. When the solar is off, I have to close it down it down. I hope I didn't confuse anyone. The Zodiac M6 works great . If you got the right hose length . And your flow rate is set for your pool operation. If the Zodiac climbs the wall all the way up to the tile line and try to climb out of your pool, YOU HAVE TOO MUCH FLOW AND RPM'S, and it will suck in air and hinder the operation. On the other hand if it doesn't climb the walls and just sits on the bottom, and doesn't move well. You need to increase the flow rate. Don't just go by the 20-25 rpm per 10, you may have to adjust it a little. Every pool flow rate is different based on your pump settings rpm and flow rpm. But the Zodiac really does a great job, very happy , it's simple to operate. AND IT WORKS, NO ELECTRONIC CRAP AND SMART TECHNOLOGY THATS HAS FLAWS TO DEAL WITH .
Review: Can be used on ABOVE ground swimming pools! - We have an above ground swimming pool and as I went to use our normal manual vacuum I realized it broke so I needed a new one asap. I couldn't find a automatic pool vacuum that was fairly inexpensive and one that could also be used for above ground swimming pools. I came across the MX6 and took a chance buying it and so far I'm so happy that I did! It's pretty easy to hook up and starts working immediately as it hits the ground. I've bought cheaper automatic vacuums in the past that have gotten tangled up or constantly stuck in one position. Or they were supposed to climb the walls and never did. The MX6 has (so far) done everything it's promised! It doesn't get tangled up, although I did make sure to follow the directions and use the correct amount of plastic tube/pipe included. It does occasionally seem to get stuck in certain areas (the corner of our steps),, but every time I've noticed this happens after a minute or so it will get itself figured out and finds a way to continue on. Today was the first day I used this and its been going non stop since I put it in to the pool. I can't speak for larger inground pools, mines a round 15" ABOVE ground swimming pool and it's working perfectly for the size. If my pool were any bigger I'd probably go with a larger size model only because of the amount of time it would take to vacuum out a larger swimming pool. I've had it on for about 1 hour and 20 mins now and it's gotten my pool very clean, but as I said it's been running for about 1 hour and 20mins on a 15' swimming pool. (Which is fine by me if it's actually accomplishing something, which it is! Most importantly, I'm not out there having to manually vacuum it myself with a 4 year old child following me around.) If your looking for an inexpensive, time saving way to clean your pool, do yourself a favor and get this vacuum. It's a great quality product and is most definitely worth the price. (Note; In the photo below the debris and leaves are at the top of the pool and not the bottom. I just wanted to show the vacuum can be used on above ground pools!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have a 1/2 horse power motor, will it work with that?**
A: Probably not.  I dropped from 1.5 to 1 HP for cost savings - big mistake.  80% of all suction must be put to the MX6.  This leaves the skimmer doing a terrible job.  Well, what does not get skimmed, finally sinks, so Mx6 is at it again for a day or two while I swim with what is floating.

**Q: Does this machine still have warranty?**
A: It comes with a one year warranty.

**Q: I have earth on the bootom of my pool.  will it pick up material as fine as Earth?**
A: We all have "earth" under our pools. . .

**Q: Does it fit any pool?**
A: This product works in both in-ground and above ground pools, and is suitable for all pool surfaces, including concrete/gunite, vinyl, tile & fiberglass.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by Q***P on September 22, 2024*

This little cleaner is doing a bang-up job on my 18' X 36' in-ground vinyl pool. Had to fiddle a bit with the water flow mechanism, but I've now got it cleaning every inch of the pool floor and climbing the walls without cavitating. I bought this basic model over its bigger (MX8) brother because it has fewer parts to wear out. Recommended.
