Backwashing The Pool Filter; Storage And Winterizing - Zodiac MX 8 Instrucciones De Montaje

Operation and Routine Maintenance
The Zodiac MX™ 8 switches on/off with the pool filtration pump, vacuuming and cleaning all surfaces
randomly throughout the pool. The climbing ability of the cleaner is dependent on the pool's shape and
available water flow. If Baracuda MX 8 is not climbing your walls, ensure the flow is correct by using the
Flow Tester. Also, ensure the pools surface is not covered with algae as this slippery surface will affect
the cleaner's traction.
During each cleaning cycle, the cleaner travels both forward and backwards, and pivots to the right and
left. The power scrubbers underneath the cleaner create a downwards force for climbing and stability as
well as directing debris into the cleaner mouth.
Emptying the Pump Basket
For the Zodiac MX™ 8 to operate at optimum efficiency, empty the pump basket regularly.
The more debris in the pool, the more often the pump basket should be cleared. Zodiac offers an in-line
leaf basket which will stop solid debris before it enters the pump basket. See your Zodiac dealer
for details.

Backwashing the Pool Filter

Always disconnect the Zodiac MX™ 8 from the pool wall before cleaning or backwashing the pool
filter. After cleaning or backwashing, let the filtration system run for at least five minutes to flush out the
suction lines before re-connecting the cleaner.

Storage and Winterizing

Never store the Zodiac MX™ 8 in direct sunlight. When storing for the winter, drain all the water from
the cleaner (freeze damage is not covered by the warranty). Remove all connectors and adapters from
the dedicated suction line/vacuum point or skimmer. When storing the cleaner, even for short periods,
do not coil the hose as the hose may develop a memory which can affect cleaner performance.
Disassemble the hoses and lay them flat and straight.
