Pools are fantastic for both resting and enjoying life, but they need a significant amount of time and effort. To ensure user safety, responsible pool owners must clean and maintain their pools appropriately.
This entails more than simply sweeping the water’s surface for trash and preserving the water’s chemical equilibrium. Ignoring your pool can lead to key issues in the future, but regular upkeep does not have to be a hassle when you hire local pool cleaners.
A regular cleaning program aids in the maintenance and cleaning of your pool and equipment. The new MX6 is a high-performance pool cleaning robot with best-in-class suction power and pre-programmed navigation for a thoroughly clean pool with no effort.
MX6 has a novel low-flow design that uses less energy than any other cleaner in its category, making it suitable for pools with variable-speed or 2-speed pumps.
Here, I will guide you fully about the features, pros, and cons of this pool cleaner.

Features:
Hoses that connect quickly:
Arranging the Zodiac MX6 is simple thanks to the quick-connect hose. The hose links to the cleaner’s swivel head without any problem. This allows the hose to swivel and turn as the cleaner moves, reducing the risk of tangles. A swirl locking mechanism connects the hose portions, allowing for rapid coupling while preventing suction power loss.
Strong Suction:
As water rushes over the turbines beneath the unit, they spin. This produces strong suction, which agitates dirt and pulls it into the extractor. The unit’s superior vacuum power ensures that it will remove 99 percent of all pool debris.
Design for Low-Flow:
The MX6 is equipped with a cutting-edge low-flow design, which means it uses less power than other cleaners in its category. This not only allows you to save money on electricity costs, but it also has a lower environmental impact. This is the model to get if you have a 2-speed or variable-speed pump.
Boost Up Adhere Ability:
The MX6 features tank-like treads that help it stick to pool surfaces, scale walls, and drive-over obstructions. Treads outperform wheels in terms of traction and mobility. The cleaner’s water flow is controlled by an ingenious flow regulator valve. Components are less prone to damage when the flow is restricted, prolonging the life of your cleaner.
Cleaning Chemicals:
Except when climbing up the wall to the water’s surface, the MX6 is completely silent. Then (and only then) will you hear gurgling noises. Concrete, Pebble Crete, Quartz Stone, tile, fiberglass, and vinyl are all excellent pool surfaces for the MX6. The MX6 will not get stuck in your pool’s main drain, unlike some other pool cleaners.
Pros:
Cyclonic Suction:
Provides significant suction and allows for vigorous wall climbing.
X-Drive Navigation:
Smart bi-directional navigation cleans the floor, walls, and waterline thoroughly.
Optimized Flow Control:
Excess flow through the cleaner is automatically controlled for optimized performance and lifetime.
Minimal Energy Effective Design:
The operation is extremely efficient. Solar and varying and 2-speed pumps are the best options.
Flow Power Turbine:
Even on low-flow pumps, the Flex Power Turbine’s articulating turbine blades ensure ultra-efficient operation.
Handle with Easy-Grip:
For easy removing and transport.
Quick Connect:
This allows for a quick and secure connection to the cleaner head.
Curl Locking Hose:
This allows for easy attachment while reducing suction loss.
What is not good about this Pump?
Tangles:
The Zodiac may become tangled on your pool ladder or in other places, such as step corners. However, virtually every time this happens, it will detach itself and continue to patrol your pool after a minute or two.
Small Sized Particles:
The MX6 seems to do better with small to medium-sized particles, rather than huge debris. Even though the MX6 is described as being compatible with variable speed pumps, it has problems running at low speeds. With your variable speed pump set to high, you can still use the Zodiac.
Single Directional Gear:
A single directional gear is included. This means that if it gets stuck in a corner, you will certainly have to rescue it because it will not be able to back out. It also only has 33 feet of hose, making it unsuitable for larger pools.
FAQs:
What kind of pressure does the MX6 need to work?
The required minimum suction power to operate the MX6 is 25 gallons per minute.
What type of warranty does the MX6 come with?
Pool cleaners from Zodiac come with a two-year defect-free warranty.
What is the MX6’s mobility?
Because the MX6 only has one directional gear, it can climb walls and clear steps but will stop if it goes into a corner. It is unable to turn around.
