Product details
R0566900 is the middle engine housing for the Baracuda MX6 suction side pool cleaner, supplied with the ramp already fitted and two engine seals in the box.
What the engine does
The MX6 has no motor of its own. It runs on the suction your pump provides, and the engine assembly inside the cleaner turns that flow into the stepping motion that walks it across the floor and up the walls. The middle housing is the center of that assembly. When it cracks, wears at the sealing faces or loses its seals, flow escapes where it should be doing work and the cleaner slows, stalls in corners or stops climbing.
What you get
This is the complete middle housing, not a bare shell. The ramp is part of the assembly and both seals are included, so the engine can go back together without chasing extra pieces. Confirm the part number stamped on your own engine before ordering, since the MX range shares a family look but not all the same internals.
