Advanced Suction Mechanical Pool Cleaner
Is your automatic pool cleaner leaving some areas of the pool untouched or not properly cleaned because it follows the hose or it is pushed by the flow?
Let Zodiac MX6 with its intelligent programmed X-Drive navigation technology get your entire pool - floor, walls and waterline - thoroughly cleaned with no fuss and no inconveniences.
Unlike suction pool cleaners, the Zodiac MX6 uses a sophisticated navigation technology to methodically drive itself around the pool floor and walls covering the entire area. It can get in and out of the tightest spots with no fuss. Despite its compact size it is fast and powerful.
The MX6 is an ultra-efficient pool cleaning robot that features best-in-class vacuum power is an innovative low-flow design that consumes less energy than any cleaner in its class, making it the ideal cleaner for pools with 2-speed or variable-speed pumps.
Benefits:
The MX6 utilizes cyclonic suction technology, providing powerful, consistent suction to capture maximum debris without losing power. Its efficient design allows for aggressive wall climbing and cleaning, making it suitable for both above-ground and in-ground pools.
The MX6 is equipped with advanced X-Drive Navigation technology, intelligently covering floors, walls, and waterlines to ensure thorough pool cleaning. It maneuvers easily out of tight spots and reverses out of corners for full pool coverage without getting stuck.
With optimized flow control, the MX6 automatically adjusts excess flow, ensuring efficient cleaning while prolonging the cleaner’s lifespan. It is compatible with eco-friendly, variable-speed pumps for optimized energy savings.
The MX6’s low-flow design allows it to operate effectively on solar, 2-speed, and variable-speed pumps, reducing energy consumption and making it an environmentally friendly option for pool cleaning.
The rugged track design offers superior climbing ability and maneuverability. Equipped with notched, ridged caterpillar tracks, the MX6 ensures maximum traction and stability in all pool types, regardless of the surface coating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my MX6 not moving or moving very slowly?
The MX6 may slow down or stop if the water flow is too low, the filtration system is dirty, or debris is caught in the engine. Clean the skimmer and pump baskets, check the filter, and ensure the AD Flow Valve is set correctly for your pool.
Why does my MX6 miss areas or fail to cover the entire pool?
Incomplete coverage usually indicates insufficient flow, incorrect return line direction, or hose issues. Check wheel-speed timing, ensure return fittings are pointed downward, and confirm the hose is the correct length for your pool.
Why does my MX6 get stuck on steps or tight corners?
The MX6 moves forward only and pivots to the left. If it becomes stuck, ensure the swivel moves freely, confirm correct hose length, and check that water flow is within the recommended range for proper manoeuvrability.
Why won’t the MX6 climb the pool walls?
Poor wall climbing may be due to low flow, incorrect float positioning, or slippery surfaces. Verify wheel-speed timing, ensure the leader hose float is positioned correctly, and check that the pool walls are free from algae.
Why is my MX6 climbing too high or reaching the waterline?
Excessive climbing indicates the flow is too strong. Adjust the AD Flow Valve to reduce flow and re-check the wheel-speed timing to ensure it falls within the recommended range.
What should I do if the MX6 has poor suction or keeps losing vacuum?
Loss of suction may be caused by air leaks, blockages, or dirty filters. Inspect hose connections for air entry, clean the filtration system, and check inside the engine for debris. Ensure all Twist Lock hose sections are fully engaged.
How do I check and adjust the water flow for proper MX6 performance?
Time ten wheel rotations using the yellow marker. The correct range is 20–25 seconds. If the timing is slower than 26 seconds, increase the AD Flow Valve setting. If the timing is faster than 19 seconds, reduce the flow until the timing falls within the recommended range.
How often should I clean or backwash the filter when using the MX6?
A clean filtration system is essential for consistent performance. Disconnect the cleaner before backwashing, and allow the pump to run for at least three minutes after backwashing to flush the suction lines before reconnecting the cleaner.
How do I remove debris from inside the MX6 engine?
Open the top lid, rotate the engine paddles gently, and clear any debris. Ensure the tracks can move freely while rotating the paddles. Close the lid securely before placing the cleaner back in the pool.
How do I correctly assemble and size the hose for the MX6?
Connect standard hose sections from the skimmer to the furthest point in the pool, then add the leader hose. The hose should reach all areas of the pool without excessive slack or tension.
Why is the MX6 hose tangling or affecting navigation?
Hose tangling may result from hose memory or strong return flow. Lay the hoses flat in the sun to relax them, confirm sections are assembled correctly, and ensure return jets are directed downward.
What return flow direction is recommended for the MX6?
Return outlets should be aimed downward and toward each other or toward the centre of the pool. This prevents strong currents from pushing the cleaner or twisting the hose.
Should I remove the MX6 during chemical treatments?
Yes. Remove the cleaner from the pool when adding chemicals or during shock treatment. Wait at least four hours after super-chlorination and ensure water balance has returned to normal before reinstalling the cleaner.
How should I remove the MX6 from the pool?
Detach the cleaner head from the leader hose before lifting it out. Use the handle to remove the cleaner vertically and allow it to drain. This prevents strain on the swivel and hose connections.
How do I know if the AD Flow Valve is set correctly for my MX6?
The AD Flow Valve is correctly set when wheel-speed timing falls within 20–25 seconds for ten rotations and the cleaner is moving steadily without stalling or over-climbing. Adjust as needed to maintain performance within this range.
