Zodiac – Feed hose connector assembly – R0838100

The Zodiac R0838100 is a genuine OEM replacement feed hose connector assembly designed specifically for the Polaris Quattro Sport and Quattro P40 pressure-side automatic pool cleaners. This black connector serves as the critical mechanical link between the feed hose and the pool cleaner body, ensuring that pressurised water from the booster pump is delivered efficiently and without leakage into the cleaner’s drive system. Without a properly functioning feed hose connector, the cleaner cannot maintain the hydraulic pressure required to move around the pool and collect debris.

This assembly is manufactured to Zodiac’s original specifications, meaning it is designed to fit precisely and seal reliably within the Quattro Sport system. The black coloured connector is a direct match for the factory-installed component, making it a straightforward like-for-like replacement. Its construction is intended to withstand continuous exposure to pool water, chlorine, and UV radiation, which are conditions typical for any pool cleaner part operating outdoors over extended periods.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

The R0838100 feed hose connector assembly is engineered exclusively for the Zodiac Polaris Quattro Sport and Quattro P40 pressure-side pool cleaners. Pressure-side cleaners operate by connecting to a dedicated return line or booster pump, using water pressure to propel the cleaner and power its debris collection bag. The feed hose carries this pressurised water from the wall fitting to the cleaner, and the connector at the cleaner end must form a secure, leak-free junction. Any deterioration or damage to this connector — such as cracking, splitting, or loss of sealing — will result in pressure loss and reduced cleaning performance.

As a genuine Zodiac spare part with SKU R0838100, this component ensures full compatibility with the intended cleaner models. Before fitting, it is recommended to consult the Polaris Quattro Sport owner’s manual to confirm correct installation procedure and to verify that this connector is the appropriate replacement for your specific unit’s configuration.

Suitability and application

This feed hose connector is intended for residential swimming pools equipped with a Zodiac Polaris Quattro Sport or Quattro P40 pressure-side automatic pool cleaner. It is a maintenance and repair part, typically required when the original connector shows visible wear, cracking, or causes a drop in cleaner performance due to a poor seal. It is not a universal fitting and is not compatible with other pool cleaner brands or models outside of the specified Quattro range. Pool owners and service technicians looking to restore full performance to a Quattro Sport cleaner without replacing the entire unit will find this an economical and practical solution.
