Zodiac XA iQ transparent CN cover complete - R0901100

Zodiac XA iQ transparent CN cover complete

This is the complete transparent top cover for the CN filter basket assembly on the Zodiac XA iQ series of robotic pool cleaners. Sitting directly above the filter cartridge bay, it seals the internal chamber while giving an unobstructed view of the filters and debris load below. Replacing a cracked, yellowed or broken cover restores both the waterproof integrity of the unit and the critical see-through visibility that the XA iQ platform is engineered around.

Function and design purpose

The transparent cover is a deliberate engineering choice: it lets the operator inspect filter fill levels at a glance — day or night — without opening the robot or lifting it from poolside. On iQ-series robots, the internal LED backlighting illuminates the filter basket through the cover, making it immediately apparent when a service cycle is needed. A structurally compromised cover breaks this inspection capability and can allow debris to bypass the sealed cartridge bay.

Model compatibility

This cover is a listed spare part for the Zodiac XA iQ range, confirmed across the XA 20 iQ, XA 30 iQ and XA 40 iQ models (including the 3010 iQ, 3030 iQ, 3095 iQ, 4010 iQ, 4030 iQ, 4045 iQ and 4095 iQ variants). Always cross-reference your robot’s model reference code before ordering to ensure dimensional fit.

Symptoms that indicate the cover needs replacing

Replace this cover if you observe any of the following: visible cracks, chips or stress fractures in the plastic; permanent clouding or yellowing that blocks the view of the filters; a cover that no longer seats flush and allows water to channel past the cartridge seal; or a hinge/clip mechanism that has sheared, preventing secure closure during operation.

Why genuine Zodiac matters

The XA iQ cover is precision-moulded to exacting tolerances so that the filter bay closes with a consistent, watertight seal on every cleaning cycle. Aftermarket substitutes frequently deviate in wall thickness or clip geometry, leading to premature seal failure or distorted filter alignment. Fitting genuine Zodiac ensures the part mates correctly with existing chassis clips, maintains the correct press-fit depth for the gasket groove, and keeps your robot’s warranty status intact.
