How to Replace a Zodiac Hose Section
- Turn off your pool pump and identify the damaged or leaking hose section.
- Disconnect the faulty section by reversing the twist and lock mechanism at each end.
- Connect the new section using the twist and lock mechanism - twist until you feel it lock into place.
- Submerge the hose and allow it to fill with water before restarting the pump.
- Check the new connections for air bubbles with the pump running - re-twist any loose joins.
- Observe cleaner movement for the first few minutes to confirm suction is restored.
Maintenance
Inspect all hose sections at the start of each season for cracks, kinks, or loose connections. Sections that have become brittle, discoloured, or no longer lock securely should be replaced. Storing hoses out of direct sunlight during winter will extend their service life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many hose sections do I need for my pool?
A: Most residential pools require between 7 and 12 metres of hose depending on pool size and skimmer box location. This single section is ideal for replacing one damaged or leaking part. If replacing a full hose-line, the 5-pack offers better value.
Q: Are these hoses compatible with all Zodiac cleaners?
A: These hoses use the Zodiac Twist and Lock connection and are compatible with the MX6, MX8, AX10, T3, T5, and newer G2 models. They are not compatible with older Zodiac models that use a different hose fitting. Contact us if you are unsure.
Q: Can I mix genuine and aftermarket hose sections?
A: This is not recommended. Aftermarket sections often have slightly different diameters or connection tolerances, which can cause air leaks at the join points and reduce suction. Using genuine Zodiac hoses throughout gives the most reliable result.
Q: My cleaner is losing suction - will a new hose section fix it?
A: A cracked or poorly sealing hose section is one of the most common causes of suction loss. Inspect each section with the pump running and look for air bubbles rising from the joins. Replace any section that cannot be made airtight.
Q: How do I know if my hose connection is airtight?
A: With the pump running, look for air bubbles rising from any of the hose connections. Bubbles indicate an air leak at that join. Re-twist the connection firmly until the bubbles stop. If the connection will not seal, the hose end may be worn and that section should be replaced.
Q: Is this product covered by a warranty?
A: Yes - genuine Zodiac parts are covered under Zodiac's standard manufacturer warranty. Retain your proof of purchase. Contact us if you experience a fault within the warranty period and we will assist with the claim.
