Debiasked
We have recently bought a G3 pool cleaner only to discover that the hose we inherited from the previous pool owners is not the right thing. What sort of hose do we need to buy?

If I buy a Zodiac Baracude G4 head only and a Zodiac leaf catcher, can I use the hoses off my old pool cleaner as they are in good condition? Do I need any special connector to fit the old push on type pool hose the the cleaner and the leaf catcher?
2 answers
probably not - you can ask whoever is selling it but they may not know either. get whatever response in writing. the adapters are hit and miss if they fit - 2 types and are a poor solution in multiples. zodiac just screwed everyone over with an old push hose, making replacement a nightmare. Money grabbing disrespectful unpleasant company to deal with. the leaf catcher used to come with adapters for the push on hose what they are now is anyone's guess. Sorry i can't be more positive. the hoses don't all go at once but fitting the new ones with the old ones is reliant on working adapters and the new ones are even a different color!
Many thanks

Hi Wynn,
Pool and spa direct on the Gold Coast sell the G3. Not sure who else.
They do free shipping to Brisbane.
Hope it helps!

Costaasked
It's the Zodiac G3 and Baracuda Manta the same product?
4 answers
From the pictures, I would think they are the same. I am about to throw my zodiac G3 in the bin after 7 months. This is because I am forced to buy the genuine hoses with the locking tabs at $20 each. After 7 months, 15 of the hoses have split. Zodiac apparently will only replace the hoses once. So in 7 months time, according to Zodiac, I will have to spend another $300 on hoses.
I am going to buy a wheeled cleaner, anything but Zodiac.
I thought as much. Thanks for the reply. Better luck with your new toy.
May be the Zodiac Official could answer your question but I don’t think a Zodiac Offical will. My obersations lead me to think they are exactly the same but marketed differently to retailers like Bunnings Warehouse. Most parts fit both the G3 and the Mantra (II).

Quality-Checkasked
I have been trawling through endless pool cleaner reviews and this one appears to be the best one ever made. However, from what I can see, Zodiac have discontinued this model and replaced it with one that gets nothing but bad reviews, possibly the worst one ever made. Am I to assume that the G3 was a little bit too good and never needed replacing or is there a worthy replacement out there somewhere?
2 answers
My G3 has become worn out and the housing has self destructed after 2 years and 5 months. I am about to go into battle with Zodiac.
Just be aware that there is a proprietary hose connector that is very expensive to get replacements for. The hoses also seem to fail very often - we brought a brand new unit that has been in use 2 weeks and the first split in the hose has appeared....
