POOL CLEANER ZODIAC ORIGINAL FLEXI FOOT (PACER-G2-G6)

Product Description

The Zodiac Original Flexi Foot is an important replacement part for compatible Zodiac suction pool cleaners, including the Pacer, G2, G3, G4, G6, Ranger and selected aftermarket cleaners where the existing foot design matches.

The Flexi Foot is the part that makes direct contact with the pool floor and walls while the cleaner is operating. It helps the cleaner glide across the pool surface, maintain contact and move as intended. When the Flexi Foot is worn, hardened or damaged, the cleaner may start moving poorly, getting stuck, losing surface contact or placing unnecessary strain on other cleaner parts.

Made from thick, high grade polyurethane, this replacement foot is designed to provide a balance of durability and flexibility. The flexible design helps the cleaner move more smoothly over different pool surfaces while reducing harsh contact between the cleaner body and the pool finish.

In South African pools, suction cleaners work hard through dust, leaves, fine grit, sand and seasonal debris. Over time, the Flexi Foot can wear down from regular movement across concrete, fibreglass, vinyl, tiled and marbelite style surfaces. Replacing a worn Flexi Foot is a simple maintenance step that can help restore cleaner movement and protect the cleaner from further wear.

The Flexi Foot does not create suction on its own. Suction comes from the pool pump and hydraulic system. However, the cleaner needs the correct surface contact to move properly. A damaged or worn foot can cause poor movement even when suction is correct.

This part is a practical replacement for pool owners and technicians servicing older Zodiac Barracuda style suction cleaners. Always compare the shape of your existing cleaner foot with the product image before purchasing, especially when fitting to aftermarket cleaners.

FAQs

What is the Zodiac Original Flexi Foot used for?

The Zodiac Original Flexi Foot is a replacement part fitted to the base of compatible suction pool cleaners. It helps the cleaner make contact with the pool surface, glide over the floor and walls, and move correctly during the cleaning cycle.

Which Zodiac pool cleaner models are compatible?

The supplied product information lists compatibility with Zodiac models such as G2, G3, G4, Pacer, Ranger and various aftermarket cleaners. The product title also references Pacer, G2 and G6. For best results, compare the old part with the product image before ordering.

What are signs that the Flexi Foot needs replacement?

Common signs include a worn down base, cracking, hardening, loss of flexibility, uneven cleaner movement, the cleaner sticking in one area, poor wall contact or the cleaner dragging instead of gliding smoothly.

Does a worn Flexi Foot affect cleaner movement?

Yes. Because the Flexi Foot touches the pool surface, wear can affect how the cleaner moves, turns and maintains contact with the floor and walls. Replacing a worn foot can help restore smoother movement when suction and other cleaner parts are correct.

Does this part help with wall climbing?

It can support wall climbing by helping the cleaner maintain better contact with the pool surface. Wall climbing also depends on correct suction, hose condition, cleaner diaphragm, disc condition, pool surface and the overall cleaner setup.

Does the Flexi Foot increase suction?

No. The Flexi Foot does not increase suction from the pump. It helps the cleaner use the available suction more effectively by maintaining proper contact with the pool surface.

Is the Flexi Foot suitable for fibreglass pools?

The supplied information states that the Flexi Foot is suitable for all types of pool surfaces when fitted to a compatible cleaner. This includes common residential surfaces such as fibreglass, vinyl, concrete, tiled and marbelite style pools.

Is this an original Zodiac part?

The supplied product name and description state that this is the Zodiac Original Flexi Foot.

Can I replace the Flexi Foot myself?

Yes, many pool owners can replace it themselves. Remove the cleaner from the pool, inspect the old foot, remove it carefully and fit the new one in the correct position. If unsure, ask a pool cleaner technician to assist.

What else should I check when replacing this part?

Check the diaphragm, disc, hose sections, hose weights, suction flow, weir basket, pump basket and any other wear parts. A new Flexi Foot will work best when the rest of the cleaner and suction system are in good condition.

Is this part sold individually?

The supplied product information refers to the Zodiac Original Flexi Foot as a replacement part. Unless your store pack states otherwise, it should be treated as a single replacement Flexi Foot.
