Valve Cuff, Zodiac Alpha/Baracuda/Pacer Cleaners, In-Ground, W70263
Few pool brands carry a story like Zodiac. The name traces back more than a century to French aviation pioneer Maurice Mallet, whose company registered the Zodiac trademark in 1909 and later turned its engineering expertise from airships to inflatable boats — and eventually to swimming pools. Today Zodiac is one of the most recognized names in automatic pool cleaning, famous for suction cleaners like the MX8 Elite with cyclonic scrubbing action, plus robotic cleaners, genuine parts, and accessories engineered to keep pools spotless with minimal effort. Since 2018, Zodiac has been part of Fluidra, the global pool-equipment leader whose brand family also includes Polaris, Jandy, and iAquaLink. That backing means broad dealer support, genuine replacement parts, and continued innovation — while Zodiac keeps doing what it does best: taking pool cleaning off your to-do list.
