Scrubbing accessory for the MX8

The Cyclonic Scrubbing Kit is an accessory for the Zodiac MX8 suction cleaner, adding active scrubbing to the cleaner's normal vacuuming action for pools that develop surface film or fine adherent debris.

A note on availability

The MX8 itself has been discontinued and replaced by the AX20 Activ. This kit remains available while stock lasts for owners still running an MX8. If you are replacing the cleaner rather than servicing it, the AX20 Activ is the model to look at.

When scrubbing helps

Standard suction cleaners lift loose debris but do little to disturb material that has bonded to the surface. Where a pool develops a film that returns quickly after brushing, adding a scrubbing action can reduce how often manual brushing is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Cyclonic Scrubbing Kit

Answers to common questions about compatibility and availability now the MX8 has been discontinued.

Contact a pool expert
Trusted by Auckland pool owners since 1992.
What does the scrubbing kit add to my MX8?

It adds active scrubbing to the MX8's standard vacuuming action. Vacuuming lifts loose debris, but scrubbing works on the film that adheres to the pool surface, which is what causes dullness and gives algae a foothold. On a pool that is vacuumed clean but still looks flat, scrubbing is what is missing.

category
Will it fit my cleaner?

It is compatible with the Zodiac MX8 suction cleaner specifically. If you have a different Zodiac model, it will not fit. Send us your cleaner model and we will confirm compatibility before you order rather than after.

category
Is it still available?

It is available while trade stock remains. The MX8 has been discontinued by the manufacturer and replaced by the AX20 Activ, so accessories for it are finite. If you have an MX8 in good condition and want to get more out of it, now is the time to ask.

category
Should I buy this or replace my MX8?

If your MX8 is in good mechanical condition, the scrubbing kit is a low cost way to improve results and extend its useful life. If the unit is worn, tracking poorly or needing frequent repairs, put the money toward an AX20 Activ or a robotic cleaner instead. Send us photos and we will give you a straight answer.

category
How much difference does scrubbing actually make?

Noticeable on surfaces that hold a biofilm, which includes most concrete and pebblecrete pools. Vacuuming alone removes what is loose. Scrubbing disturbs what is stuck, which then gets vacuumed away. The visible result is a brighter surface and less manual brushing for you.

category
Is it hard to fit?

It is designed as a straightforward accessory fit to the MX8. If you would rather not do it yourself, our technicians can fit it during a service visit and check the rest of the cleaner's condition while it is apart, which is usually worth doing on an older unit.

category
Will it wear out my pool surface?

No. Scrubbing action on a pool cleaner is designed for regular use on standard pool interiors. If your pool surface is already deteriorating, chalking or delaminating, that is a resurfacing conversation rather than a cleaner conversation, and we can assess it for you.

category
Does it affect the cleaner's coverage?

It is designed to work with the MX8's normal operation rather than change it. If your MX8 already has coverage problems, those usually come from hose length, flow adjustment or worn wear parts, and adding a scrubbing kit will not fix them. We can retune the setup at the same time.

category
What warranty applies?

A manufacturer backed warranty applies with terms set by Zodiac. Your purchase is also covered by the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act. Sparkling Pools can confirm compatibility with your MX8 and handle any warranty matter through the supplier for you.

category
Why buy through Sparkling Pools?

Because with a discontinued platform you want someone who can tell you whether spending on accessories makes sense or whether you are better off replacing the cleaner. We have serviced Zodiac cleaners in Auckland since 1992 and we will give you the honest answer. Call 09 570 4797.

A complete swimming pool renovation featuring a premium aggregate resurfacing, new glass mosaic waterline tiles, and a fully retiled outdoor entertaining area, transforming a tired pool into a stunning backyard centrepiece.
Beautiful pool renovation from Seb, Ben and the team at Sparkling Pools. When we became excited about doing additional work (retiling the whole area and relaying turf) they accommodated that and helped project manage the timing and additional contractors on site. They worked to time and to budget and the result is outstanding. Definitely a sparkling pool!! Thanks so much, we are very happy.

Full pool and spa renovation in St Mary's Bay, Auckland, including Quartzon Galaxy interior resurfacing, new tiles and copings, lighting, heat pump installation, and filtration relocation.
In November 2011, my partner and I purchased a property with a swimming pool and spa. Having never previously owned a property with pool facilities, we relied on Grant, Julia and the rest of the team at Sparkling Pools to bring us up to speed with what was required to keep the pool in order. Combined with this, some pool equipment components had been neglected by previous owners; Grant made time to come and carry out a complimentary inspection of the pool, from a holistic perspective, and to give us detailed feedback on what improvements (heating, filtration equipment, covers etc) we could make, over time, bearing our budget in mind. The pool and spa are now looked after on a regular basis by Sparkling Pools on a specific customised maintenance plan. Denis (our dedicated valet man) comes on time, on the same week-day each time, and he does a great job maintaining the pool. We love the team from Sparkling Pools and we love the service we get from them. The pool and spa always look and feel fantastic, and looking after them is one job we just never have to worry about!

A full interior renovation of a large, elegant older pool on a beautiful Kohimarama property, including new Quartzon plaster, waterline tiles, copings, and LED lighting upgrades.
Our older pool was looking incredibly worn and really needed a complete refresh to match the character of our heritage property here in New Zealand. The team completely transformed the space. The new Santorini blue plaster and updated waterline tiles breathed completely new life into the area without losing its original elegance. The upgrade to modern LED lighting means the pool looks absolutely stunning in the evenings, creating a perfect atmosphere for entertaining. The entire process was incredibly professional, and the final result perfectly complements our home.

This project comprised all the classic elements of a comprehensive pool renovation; interior resurfacing, including some engineering adjustments; renovation of tile-work; full equipment upgrades and installations; and subsequent ongoing pool maintenance contract.
Last winter, Sparkling Pools undertook the renovation of our swimming pool. Sparkling Pools did a terrific job and we were delighted with the results. SPL’s performance throughout the project was very professional. Senior management constantly checked the work at different stages and they maintained excellent communication with us throughout. We are happy to commend Sparkling Pools to other Auckland pool-owners who might be considering pool interior renovations or equipment upgrades, particularly noting their reliability, their professionalism and the obvious pride they take in their work and their products. Subsequent to the pool renovations, SPL has continued to look after our pool on a regular basis and we are very happy to have them do so. With SPL looking after our pool, it is now one aspect of property care I never have to worry about.
