The Ultimate Zodiac MX6 & MX6 Elite Repair Video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kV5AnfHEQQ

In this video I go over replacing parts in your Zodiac MX6 if it is not moving in the pool or not turning. The thing I really like about the MX6 vs the MX8 is how easy it is to work on. Not that the MX8 is difficult, but there are fewer parts in the MX6 and it just is compact and easier to work on. You will also be able to isolate the problem easier on the M6 and get it up and running like new again in a matter of minutes.

One of the drawbacks of the MX6 is all of the moving parts wear out over time. Fortunately, the parts are inexpensive and easy to install. I would say after 1 ½ to 2 years you will need to start to replace some parts, and this depends on the pool run time also. But figure at the 2-year mark replacing all of these parts featured in this video series would be a good idea.

This first video covers what to do if the MX6 stops going thru its turn cycle. Very common in the MX8 but less common in the MX6 since there is only one Directional Device in it. The MX6 uses the Directional Device Side A, part #R0524700 – you will often see it listed for the MX8 like this “Baracuda R0524700 Side A Direction Control Device Replacement for Baracuda MX8 Pool Cleaner.”
The same part is used for both cleaners.

In this video, I cover replacing the in your MX6. After changing both Tracks and the Engine (Part 1 and 2 of the series) and you notice the MX6 is still moving slower than the last part to swap out is the Scrubber Assembly. This part is also known as the Cyclonic Turbine Assembly and it is a very simple and easy part to change. This part is constantly spinning when the cleaner is moving and usually even if it is wearing out will still spin. But you will notice a slowdown in the MX6 as a result of this. Fortunately, unlike the MX8 there is only one of these in the MX6 and it is relatively inexpensive at around $12.00-$15.00

The Scrubber is the last moving part of the MX6. As the water passes over the engine, the tracks begin to move on the pool floor and the Cyclonic Scrubber spins as a result of this. I find this part to be very long-lasting but when I do a complete rebuild with the engine and tracks I simply just change this out also. That way once you drop the MX6 back into the pool it is practically a brand new cleaner.

If you want to make your MX6 an MX6 Elite watch this video:

All you need to do to make your MX6 and “Elite” version is to add the Retrofit kit Scrubber to the cleaner. The part is called Zodiac Cyclonic Scrubbing Turbine Assembly MX8 Pool Cleaner R0714300 and you can purchase it here: http://amzn.to/2ntulJL

This kit is for the MX8 so you will get two Scrubbers in the box so you can keep one as a spare for future use.

If you are thinking about replacing the components, it is much easier to overhaul the entire equipment pad at once rather than piece by piece. With the newer energy efficient components, you can have a quick return on investment. The typical lifespan is usually 10 to 15 years with periodic repairs required within that time frame.

Jacuzzi JVS Variable Speed Pump Line-Up: Overview of All 3 Models

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVyfseY6O0c Jacuzzi has a new line-up of Variable speed pumps and they are now available at your local Leslie’s Pool Supply. These VS pumps have been designed with the new Department of Energy (DOE) regulations in mind and all of them meet the new standards. They also feature a lot of other upgrades and there are currently 3 models to choose from. There are the new Jacuzzi JVS Series pumps: JVS270 is a 2.7 THP VS pump with a DOE rating of 12.9 WEF JVS185 is a 1.85 THP VS pump with a DOE rating of 10.1 WEF JVS165 is a 1.65 THP VS pump with a DOE rating of 10.7 WEF All of these pumps are dual voltage which means they will work with either 115 volts or 230 volts. So if you have an older pool that is wired on a 110 v breaker, you can use any of these three pumps as the voltage is automatically modulated. I would suggest the JVS165 or the JVS185 to utilize the total hp rating of these pumps. The JVS270 will be throttled down to about 1.5 hp when connect

Tips on Selling VS Pumps to Your Customers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26zBm41TKPc After July 19th, 2021 you will be hard-pressed to find a single-speed 1hp pump or motor. The Department of Energy has mandated new energy rules and almost all of the single-speed pumps will no longer be sold. That leaves only Variable Speed Pumps as an option going forward after July 19th. Below are some of the pumps I recommend. The first option would be to replace the motor with a Century V-Green stand-alone VS motor. They are compatible with most pumps and come with a round or square flange. It is the most affordable option and if the existing pump is less than 5 years old I would suggest going that route. But if you need to replace the entire pump here are some brands to look at. Note that I always suggest going with the brand of your automated system if you have one. So if you have a Hayward Automated system go with a Hayward pump. Pentair was the first with their IntelliFlo VS pump and it is still the benchmark pump because there a
