How to replace the Track in a Zodiac MX8

If you find your Zodiac MX8 moving slow or unable to climb the walls, chances are the Treads are worn out. These tank tracks are made of rubber and the teeth inside are also made of rubber so they will wear down over time. They are relatively inexpensive and they are also very easy to change.

You may even notice a tread off the cleaner and laying on the pool bottom. That is a sure sign that the track is worn out.

I mention the inner teeth because the treads could look fine on the outside but if the "teeth" can't grab the plastic piece that spins the tracks it will slip and not move nearly as effectively.

The MX8 in this video at the time of the track replacement was at the 1.5 year mark so they don't last a super long time (of course it depends on the pool size and the pool run time). But figure to be changing these every couple of years on the cleaner.
