The machine comes ready to connect to a 1.5-inch threaded return line, with a 32-foot float hose included. Though it may not be the most advanced pool cleaner available we found its simplicity of operation refreshing compared to models that have an abundance of features.

We installed the equipment in 10 minutes after watching the manufacturer's instruction booklet on YouTube, unlike other pool cleaners. Although we were pleased with the machine's capacity to clean the pool, it first struggled to adjust the hose to the appropriate length for our pool.

My swimming pool is a 15,000-gallon U-shape. The pool is unprotected and overgrown with leaves, but the Zodiac 6-120-00 keeps the leaves out and circulates the water, allowing the filter to perform more effectively. In brief, it saves time and labor while cleaning the pool more effectively than manual cleaning.

Another notable feature of the Zodiac 6-120-00 is its automatic cleaning operation. This feature allows the device to operate independently, eliminating the need for manual intervention and saving time and effort for pool owners. The automatic cleaning operation typically involves intelligent navigation and scanning technology that enables the cleaner to map out the pool's dimensions and plan its cleaning path.

The cleaner moves systematically throughout the pool, reaching all areas, including the pool floor, walls, and waterline. It may also have advanced features like obstacle detection and avoidance, ensuring thorough coverage and preventing the cleaner from getting stuck or tangled.

Powered by the pressure of clean water returning to the pool, the 165 uses a patented sweep jet assembly to blow water against the pool walls to flush away debris in hard-to-reach places, even when the pool has an uneven bottom. Its easy-to-remove filter bag traps debris before it reaches your pump basket or filter. Vacuum the bottom and sweep the sides in three hours or less, circulating clean, filtered water throughout your pool while cleaning.

How It Worked in the Long-Term

The Zodiac 6-120-00 is a pool cleaner designed to operate efficiently over a long period of time. With powerful suction power, it is capable of effectively capturing and removing debris, dirt, and leaves from your pool, leaving a clean and clear swimming pool.

Editor’s Verdict: The Zodiac 6-120-00 pool cleaner is a worthwhile investment for pool owners searching for a simple and dependable way to keep their pools clean and appealing.
