Zodiac pool cleaners are not hard to set up. The most crucial part is identifying the individual parts and where they should go.
Several video resources will help you out there. But just as a quick overview of the process, here is how to assemble the Zodiac MX8 Elite, MX6 or MX8.
Before you start, make sure the basket and filter are both clean. Also, turn off the pool pump to avoid accidents.
The first thing to do is attaching the pool vacuum to the skimmer or a dedicated suction line.
Once you get the proper fit, temporarily disconnect the hose and turn on the pump.
Fill a better part of the hose with water, turn off the pump and reconnect the hose.
Now, put your cleaner in the pool and observe the speed. It should neither be fast nor slow.
Adjust the flow if need be using the Flow Keeper Valve.
