Update to: Doesn't seal and sucks air. Customer service not reachable. Update: after a second unit, the same issue has occurred. The unit does not seal on the lid and thus floats and sucks air. Your pool pump doesn't cycle water, runs hot, and the MX-8 goes nowhere. This is being returned and will be the last zodiac product I buy.

I'm thinking that the mfgr must be awere of this problem and had a duty to warn buyers

IT'S EASIER AND FASTER JUST TO EMPTY YOUR PUMP BASKET THIS FILLS UP AND CLOGS FASTER THAN MY PUMP BASKET UPDATE: If anyone wants mine they can have it otherwise it goes in the goodwill pile,I'll bet the pool store doesn't even want... read more

So based on other reviews I had to put a few rocks inside to keep it under water just below the surface for the main seal and so it doesn't tip over to let in air at the bottom if the cleaner sucks in some air and creates an air bubble in the chamber (this will tip it sideways and let in air through the bottom gasket). Not sure if I would buy ... read more
