Why Choose the Zodiac FX18?

With its efficient design and simple Plug & Play setup, the FX18 provides a hassle-free cleaning experience.

Available exclusively from Pool & Spa Warehouse

Introduced in 2018, Zodiac's FX18 is a modern product that uses the latest technology and will enjoy many years of nation-wide support. Zodiac Australia has made it exclusively available from Pool & Spa Warehouse, Australia's fastest growing independent retailer of pool equipment.

Benefits:

  • Impeccable Cleaning.
    Strong scrubbing and vacuuming power ensure your pool is cleaned efficiently, covering both the floor and walls for a comprehensive clean.

  • Lightweight and Easy to Handle.
    At just 5.5kg, the FX18 is one of the lightest robotic pool cleaners on the market, making it effortless to remove from the water.

  • Convenience & Energy Saving.
    The FX18 operates independently from your pool’s filtration system, saving electricity and extending the life of your pool equipment.

  • Enhanced Hygiene.
    The FX18’s scrubbing action helps inhibit the growth of algae and bacteria, which can reduce chemical use and improve overall water quality.
  • Hassle-Free Maintenance.
    The easy-access top filter canister makes cleaning and debris removal simple—without ever having to touch the debris.

  • Available in Two Models for Tiled and Non-Tiled Pools.
    For pools with tiled surfaces, a specialized version of the cleaner is available. This model comes with enhanced grip and tailored cleaning capabilities to ensure thorough and effective cleaning of smooth, slippery surfaces, making it ideal for tiled pools.

Features:

  • Complete Pool Coverage: Whether it's the floor, walls, or waterline, the FX18 excels at cleaning every part of your pool, regardless of its shape or size effortlessly in just 2.5 hours. Its high-grip tracks ensure it can climb and clean vertical surfaces effortlessly, making it perfect for Australian pools.

  • Debris Handling: This cleaner is suitable for small, medium, and large debris, effortlessly capturing leaves, dirt, and more. For extra-fine debris like dust or sand, an optional 100-micron filter canister is available to ensure even the finest particles are captured. However, depending on your pool's surface, using this filter may affect the cleaner's ability to climb walls. It is recommended to use the 100-micron canister only when needed for specific cleaning requirements.
  • Designed for Every Pool Type: Whether your pool is concrete, fibreglass, tiled*, or vinyl, the FX18 is built to handle it all. With its advanced technology, durable construction, and 14m cable length it’s perfect for any in-ground pool up to 8m x 4m.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Zodiac FX18 suitable for tiled pools?
This version of the Zodiac FX18 is not suitable for tiled pools. It is intended for concrete, pebblecrete, quartzon, fibreglass, and vinyl surfaces. A dedicated FX18 model with enhanced grip is available specifically for tiled pools: Zodiac FX18 Robotic Pool Cleaner for Tiled Pools.
Does the Zodiac FX18 clean the waterline as well as floors and walls?
Yes. The Zodiac FX18 is designed to clean the pool floor, climb walls, and scrub the waterline during its cleaning cycle, providing complete pool coverage.
How long does a full cleaning cycle take?
A full cleaning cycle takes approximately 2.5 hours, covering the pool floor, walls, and waterline in a single automatic cycle.
Does the FX18 work independently from my pool’s filtration system?
Yes. The FX18 operates independently from your pool’s filtration system and uses its own motor and filter canister. This reduces strain on your pool equipment and helps minimise energy use.
When should I use the optional 100-micron filter canister?
The optional 100-micron filter canister should be used when fine dust or sand is present in the pool. For normal debris such as leaves and dirt, the standard 200-micron filter canister is recommended.
What maintenance is required to keep the FX18 operating properly?
Regular maintenance includes rinsing the filter canister after each cleaning cycle, checking the brushes and tracks for wear, and inspecting the cable for twists or damage. Keeping the cleaner clean and dry between uses will help maintain performance.
Is the Zodiac FX18 safe to leave connected to power when not in use?
For safety, it is recommended to disconnect the FX18 from the power supply when it is not in use. This helps protect the control unit and ensures safe operation in accordance with Australian electrical safety guidelines.
