Product details

The Zodiac FRV100 is the genuine flow regulator valve for the MX6 and MX8 suction side pool cleaners.

Why flow needs regulating

A suction cleaner is driven by the pump, and pumps vary. Give an MX more flow than it was designed for and it moves too fast, skips coverage and wears its drive components early. The regulator sits in the suction line and automatically bleeds off the surplus, holding the cleaner at the rate Zodiac built it around.

What that buys you

Two things: the cleaning pattern the MX was designed to produce, and a longer service life from the parts that do the work. Owners who chase a cleaner that keeps eating tracks and drive parts often find the flow was never regulated in the first place.

Fitting and application

Installation is quick and needs no tools or changes to the cleaner. The valve, like the MX cleaners themselves, is intended for inground pools.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What does the flow regulator actually do?

It automatically bleeds off flow above what the cleaner needs, so the MX runs at its designed rate instead of being driven too hard by a strong pump.

Does it fit both the MX6 and the MX8?

Yes. Zodiac FRV100 is the flow regulator valve for both MX series cleaners.

Do I need tools to fit it?

No. It installs into the suction line quickly and does not require modification to the cleaner.

Why does excess flow matter?

A cleaner pushed beyond its intended flow moves too fast and wears its drive components early. Regulating the flow keeps performance right and extends the life of the cleaner.
