Product details
Zodiac R0545700 is the middle engine housing for the MX8 pool cleaner, supplied in the R2 revision with its ramp and 2 seals. It is the genuine Zodiac part.
What this section of the cleaner does
The MX8 is driven by water flow through its engine, and the middle engine housing is the structure that section runs inside. It has to stay dimensionally true and sealed for the drive to translate suction into steady forward motion. When the housing cracks, wears at its bearing surfaces, or the seals no longer hold, the symptom is usually a cleaner that stalls, wanders off its pattern, or loses the ability to climb the wall.
Before you order
Zodiac lists this housing for cleaners serialized with a prefix of MX8, so check the serial on the cleaner body first. Because the ramp and both seals come with the housing, this is a complete section replacement rather than a bare shell you have to transfer parts into.
