Can the Baracuda G3 or G4 be used on an inground pool with a vinyl liner?

Yes both of these cleaners are gentle enough to work on your vinyl pool cleaner.

I have a Zodiac G3 and recently it stops and starts randomly. What can I check?
 Reply

A  Answered on 12/18/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

I would recommend checking the diaphragm for blockage or damage.

My Zodiac G3 cleaner always gets stuck by the ladder on the deep end. Are there any adjustments I can make?
 Reply

A  Answered on 12/18/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

You can try removing a few hose lengths to shorten the G3's reach. Other than that, I would recommend a G21 ladder guard to  prevent the cleaner getting stuck.

Does the G3 come with debris bag?
 Reply

A  Answered on 10/3/2014 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

The cleaner does not come with a debris bag. We would recommend the Hayward W560 leaf catcher. This will connect directly to the hose.

When should I replace the finned disk on my G3?
 Reply

A  Answered on 4/29/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Usually when the fin starts to fall apart or when the fin is unable to keep the cleaner balanced.

I called Leslie pool store and they told me that the zodiac t3 is a updated model of the g3 is that correct? Also can I use the cyclonic leaf catcher with the g3?
 Reply

Hi John, The Zodiac Baracuda T3 has replaced the G3 model, you can also use the Zodiac Cyclonic Leaf Catcher with the G3 Cleaner using the special adapters that is included with that unit.

Why does my Zodiac G3 go backwards not forwards? Thanks
 Reply

A  Answered on 11/14/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi, Bob. This type of cleaner is designed to move in the opposite direction from the front of the unit. It will appear that the cleaner is being pulled by the hose.

My Zodiac G3 runs about 1 to 2 minutes after it gets hooked up and then stops. I then can't get it going again. What am I doing wrong?
 Reply

A  Answered on 8/5/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Alex V.

Andrew, If the cleaner stops then starts, check diaphragm for blockage or damage. Use the Pool Pulse to determine proper flow.

Do you have to prime the hose for the barracuda g3 with water before you vacume

A  Answered on 5/24/2019 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi, Eileen. Yes, you will have to fill the hoses with water before connecting it to your suction line.

How can I tell when the foot is worn out? Would this prevent it from moving? My unit has stopped moving even though filter and baskets are clean and valves are set properly.
 Reply

A  Answered on 7/17/2019 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi, Tony. The Footpad, Yellow - W70327 will wear similar to a tire when the threads are worn down it will prevent water flow into the unit causing it not to move. You may also want to look into the checking the Long Life Diaphragm - W69698 for any holes or tears.

    Thank you for your reply. Yes, it was a split in the diaphragm, ordered replacement. Good info on the footpad, I’ll keep my eye on it. Thanks again, Tony
