- Genuine Zodiac Factory part W83278, not an aftermarket disc.
- 12 inch size Baracuda cleaners use more than one deflecter diameter, and this is the 12 inch one.
- Wide model coverage Listed for the Baracuda G2, G3 and G4, and for Alpha and Beta cleaners.
- Molded plastic Same material as the original, so it flexes off obstacles instead of splitting.

Product details
The Zodiac W83278 is the 12 inch wheel deflecter for Baracuda suction side pool cleaners. It is the molded plastic disc that rides around the cleaner and meets obstacles before the cleaner body does.
Why it wears out
This part exists to take abuse. Every wall, step, ladder leg and main drain the cleaner runs into gets hit by the deflecter first, hundreds of times a week. Plastic that is cycled that hard in sunlight and chlorinated water eventually cracks, and a piece breaking away is normal service life rather than a defect.
Fitment
It is listed for the Baracuda G2, G3 and G4, and for the Alpha and Beta cleaners. Baracuda uses more than one deflecter diameter across its range, so measure the part on your cleaner and confirm it is the 12 inch size before you order.
