Zodiac – Feed hose connector O-ring – R0842000

The Zodiac R0842000 is a genuine OEM replacement O-ring designed specifically for the feed hose connector on Zodiac Polaris Quattro P40 and Quattro Sport pressure-side automatic pool cleaners. This small but critical sealing component ensures a watertight connection between the feed hose and the cleaner body, preventing water leaks that would otherwise reduce operating pressure and compromise cleaning performance. As a genuine Zodiac Polaris part, it is manufactured to the exact dimensional tolerances required for a proper fit and long-lasting seal.

The O-ring functions as the primary pressure seal at the feed hose connection point. When the feed hose delivers pressurised water from the booster pump to the cleaner, any failure at this junction — such as a cracked, dried-out, or deformed O-ring — will result in pressure loss, erratic movement, and reduced suction or thrust performance. Replacing this component promptly restores full system pressure integrity and ensures the cleaner operates as intended.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

This O-ring is a genuine Fluidra/Zodiac Polaris spare part, identified by the global part number R0842000. It is engineered for use in pressure-side pool cleaning systems that rely on a dedicated booster pump to drive the cleaner. The Quattro P40 and Quattro Sport models are high-performance four-wheel drive pressure-side cleaners designed for in-ground pools, and maintaining correct sealing at all hose connections is essential to sustaining their operating efficiency. The O-ring is made from a durable elastomeric material capable of withstanding continuous exposure to pool water, chlorine, and the mechanical stresses of pressurised connections. Being a genuine part, it matches the exact profile, durometer, and inner and outer diameter specifications of the original factory component.

Suitability and buying context

This replacement O-ring is intended for owners of Zodiac Polaris Quattro P40 and Quattro Sport pressure-side pool cleaners who are experiencing feed hose leaks, pressure loss at the hose connection, or who are performing scheduled maintenance to replace worn seals. It is suitable for in-ground swimming pools of various sizes where these cleaner models are deployed. If your cleaner is showing signs of water escaping around the feed hose connector, or if the O-ring appears flattened, cracked, or hardened upon inspection, this is the correct replacement part. Sourcing a genuine Zodiac part rather than a generic substitute ensures dimensional accuracy and long-term sealing reliability in a pressurised system.
