ZODIAC MX6 and MX8 Pool Cleaner Range.

Zodiac has a Pool Cleaner that they call the MX range. They have two pool cleaners in this range at present called the MX6 and the MX8. Both of these pool cleaners unlike a conventional suction pool cleaner drive themselves. This means that they rarely get stuck and they drive themselves where they need to go rather than being lead by the hoses like an normal suction machine.

 

The MX6 is the smaller of the two in the range so far. It has one gearbox and one fan underneath. It is designed for the smaller pools and the single gearbox gives this machine 18 different movements in one cycle. Zodiac MX6 is compact in size, yet demonstrates a powerful clean. The MX6 is a highly efficient  suction cleaner that displays great manoeuvrability and provides thorough pool coverage.

The Zodiac MX6 features:
Cyclonic Vacuum Technology

• Cyclonic Vacuum Technology ensures the MX6 captures smaller debris (compared to the MX8 which will pick up larger debris) whilst maintaining maximum cleaning power.

X-Drive Navigation

• X-Drive Technology provides great navigation for wall and floor cleaning resulting in thorough pool coverage.

Flex Power Turbine

• Ultra-efficient power source provides maximum torque while operating at low flow, not burdening the pool system.

User-friendly

• The MX6 is light weight, easy to access inner components equipped with carry handle.

Flow Regulator Valve

• The new Flow Regulator Valve (FRV) assists the MX6 in running at optimal performance, the FRV will bypass excess water in high flow conditions

 

 


































The MX8 is the bigger of the two in the range so far. It has two gearboxes and two fans underneath. It is designed for the larger pools and the two gearbox gives this machine 36 different movements in one cycle. 

Zodiac MX8 features:
Gets in and out of tight spots for an all round better clean

• The MX8 is the first intelligent suction cleaner! Unlike disc suction cleaners, which operate in a totally random manner and have no reversing mechanism, the MX8 has been designed to get in and out of tight spots. The X-Trax tyres provide extreme manoeuvrability and climbing performance, even on vertical walls.

Powerful suction with less water flow

• The dual cyclonic suction enables the MX8 to move faster and deliver unsurpassed vacuum power, while requiring 30% less flow. Its ultra efficient design requires less flow than any cleaner in its class for maximum energy savings. Best choice for solar, 2-speed, and variable-speed pumps.
• The MX8 is supplied with a new Flow Regulator Valve (FRV) to assist it run at optimally and to extend its product life; the FRV will bypass excess water in high flow conditions ensuring that the cleaner is not put under undue strain.
• Cyclonic Vacuum Technology ensures the MX8 captures maximum debris whilst maintaining maximum cleaning power. Cyclonic suction also allows for a wider cleaning path ensuring both large and small debris is consumed with ease.

Accommodates larger debris than other suction cleaners

• The MX8 has a wider cleaning path than competitor models, and has a large vacuum inlet to capture larger debris than traditional disc suction cleaners.

IS YOUR POOL READY FOR WINTER?

Please do not forget about your swimming pool during the colder winter weather.

The average pool needs far less maintenance during winter as the pool uses a lot less chemicals and is also not in use (in 99% of the homes at least!).   Chemical usage drops because the water temperature is much lower and the water molecules get denser, which leaves less space for chemicals (like chlorine) to escape.  Algae growth is also slowed down as the water temperature drops.  A big plus is that you can reduce the running time of your swimming pool pump as well, usually by a couple of hours a day, depending on the size of your swimming pool, etc.

As the chlorine demand is much lower, it is important to ensure that your chlorinator is turned down, or that your floater openings are decreased to reduce chlorine release into the water.  If you manually add chlorine to the water, check the chlorine levels before adding chlorine.  (This should be done anyway..)  Too much chlorine can cause brown staining in the pool.   It is however very difficult to get chlorine levels 100% right at the start and end of winter, due to fluctuating temperatures.
 
In addition to this, if your swimming pool is only being maintained by us (or another swimming pool company) on a fortnightly basis it will be important for you to also check on chlorine levels in the week that we/they are not there.  (This is required even more so in summer if your service is only done on a fortnightly basis!).  

Do not to switch your pool system off for winter as this can cause other issues at the start of summer.  The swimming pool pump should not be left off for lengthy periods of time, nor should the water stand for long periods of time.  This could lead to bacterial growth in the water, which could be harmful to you and/or your pets if they swim or drink the water.  In addition to this, the sand in the filter can compact and harden if left to stand for too long.  This coagulation of the sand, with the stagnation of water inside the filter can lead to the sand becoming rancid.  This reduces the lifespan of the sand, and can put additional pressure on the system when the system is reactivated in summer.

The majority of swimming pools left to stand over winter require clean ups at the start of the summer weather.  This can be quite a costly expense.  Although the water can be cleaned the lifespan of your sand and swimming pool pump have been reduced.  Running the pool, even for a few hours a day will help maintain your pool over the winter months.  Test your water and ensure the chemical balances are correct.

For those using floaters in their swimming pool, try to give your pool water a break from stabiliser/cynauric acid over the winter months and try a non stabilised floater like KleenKlor.   This will help ensure that there is not a build up of stabiliser, which can lead to other problems with the swimming pool chemical balances.

For any assistance in managing your swimming pool, please do not hesitate to contact us – either telephonically on 021 557 9016/7 or pop into our shop for a chat!

Keep warm!

SUMMER IS HERE!!!

Now that the hot, sunny weather is finally here your pool will need a lot more maintenance than in the cooler weather over the last few months.  It is important to ensure that your swimming pool is chemically balanced, that your swimming pool pump runs for long enough, and that you regularly backwash your filter and clean your electrode (if you have a standard salt water chlorinator).  It is also important to ensure that the salt levels in your pool are in the optimal range for your specific chlorinator as different brands/makes run at different salt levels.

Is you swimming pool not clearing, but the chemical balances are good and within optimal range? 

Consider when last you had a sand change.  There are different grades of sand used in a swimming pool filter, and depending on which grade of sand you have, the sand can last between 2 to 5 years.  This also depends on environmental factors (foliage around the pool, thatching if you have a thatch roof, dog hair if your pets swim, irregular backwashing, etc).   Over time the sand also simply wears down and becomes ineffective at filtering the water.  Once the sand and filtration is compromised, it does not matter what chemicals you put into the swimming pool - they may be ineffective.
