Zodiac – Blue flap PMS2915 – R0718700

The Zodiac Blue Flap PMS2915 (R0718700) is a genuine OEM replacement component designed for use with Zodiac automatic pool cleaners. This blue-coloured flap is an internal valve component that plays a critical role in the hydraulic operation of compatible Zodiac suction-side pool cleaners. The flap controls the directional flow of water within the cleaner’s body, enabling the randomised movement and suction pattern that allows the device to navigate across the pool floor and walls efficiently. Without a functioning flap, the cleaner may lose its ability to change direction, stall, or fail to maintain adequate suction contact with the pool surface.

Technical characteristics and construction

This replacement flap is manufactured to Zodiac’s original specifications, ensuring dimensional accuracy and material consistency with the factory-installed part. The blue colour coding corresponds to the PMS2915 colour reference, which may indicate a specific durometer or material formulation designed for the hydraulic demands of the cleaner’s valve mechanism. The flap is constructed from a flexible, durable elastomeric material capable of withstanding continuous immersion in chemically treated pool water, including chlorinated and saltwater environments. Its flexibility is essential to the valve’s function: the flap must seal reliably on each stroke while yielding precisely to allow water to pass in the intended direction. Using genuine Zodiac parts such as this ensures the correct fit and restores the cleaner to its original operating performance without requiring adjustment or modification.

Suitability and application

The R0718700 blue flap is intended as a direct replacement part for specific Zodiac automatic pool cleaner models that use the PMS2915 flap configuration. It is suitable for installation by pool maintenance professionals or experienced pool owners who are comfortable performing basic disassembly of their pool cleaner. This part is appropriate for both residential and light commercial pool environments. If your Zodiac cleaner is exhibiting erratic movement, reduced suction, or is failing to complete full pool coverage cycles, inspecting and replacing the internal flap is a recommended diagnostic step. Always verify compatibility with your specific Zodiac cleaner model before ordering to ensure this part matches your unit’s valve assembly.
