Product Overview
The Zodiac MX6 Elite is a compact, powerful suction-side pool cleaner designed to vacuum and actively scrub pool floors, walls, and the waterline. Its combination of strong cyclonic suction, rotating scrubbing brushes, intelligent navigation, and high-traction tracks provides comprehensive automatic cleaning while reducing the need for manual brushing and vacuuming.
Unlike standard suction cleaners that primarily collect loose debris, the MX6 Elite uses Cyclonic Scrubbing Brushes to loosen fine particles and stuck-on buildup from pool surfaces. The cleaner connects to the pool’s skimmer or a dedicated 1½-inch suction line and operates using the existing filtration pump, eliminating the need for a separate booster pump.
Its efficient low-flow design makes the MX6 Elite an excellent choice for compatible pools equipped with two-speed or variable-speed pumps.

Cleaning Performance
The MX6 Elite combines vacuuming and active scrubbing in one automatic cleaner. As the cleaner travels across the pool, its scrubbing brushes rotate against the surface to help remove dirt, fine debris, and buildup that ordinary suction cleaners may leave behind.
X-Drive Navigation directs the cleaner through programmed directional changes to improve coverage. The X-Trax traction system helps the cleaner maintain contact with the pool surface while turning, climbing walls, and moving through curved areas.
Actual waterline and wall-climbing performance may vary based on pool shape, surface condition, water level, pump flow, and suction-system configuration.
