Zodiac – Quattro P40 filter canister top, white – R0836601

The Zodiac R0836601 is the genuine OEM replacement filter canister top in white for the Polaris Quattro P40 pressure-side automatic pool cleaner. The filter canister is a core component of the Quattro P40’s debris collection system: as the cleaner operates, collected dirt and debris are channelled into the canister body and retained by the filter bag or screen inside. The canister top secures this assembly, sealing the filter chamber during operation and allowing quick access for emptying and rinsing. Over time, the top can crack, warp, or lose its secure fit due to UV exposure, chemical contact, or physical impact — making a reliable OEM replacement essential for maintaining efficient cleaning performance.

Construction, compatibility, and technical details

Manufactured by Zodiac to original equipment specifications, this canister top is designed to fit precisely over the Quattro P40 filter canister body without adaptation or modification. The white colour matches the standard P40 configuration (a blue variant, R0836600, is available separately for the Quattro Sport model). The top is moulded from UV-stabilised, pool-chemical-resistant plastic, ensuring long-term durability when exposed to chlorinated or saltwater environments. Its locking or snap-fit mechanism aligns with the canister body to create a secure closure during the cleaner’s operational cycle, preventing debris from escaping back into the pool. Replacement is straightforward and requires no special tools — the top simply lifts or unlatches from the canister body for servicing.

Suitability and application

This replacement part is intended exclusively for the Zodiac Polaris Quattro P40 pressure-side automatic pool cleaner. It is not cross-compatible with other Polaris or Zodiac cleaner models unless explicitly confirmed. Pool owners running the Quattro P40 on in-ground pools with a dedicated pressure-side booster pump will find this a direct like-for-like replacement. If your canister top is cracked, missing, or no longer seals correctly, replacing it promptly prevents debris from recirculating and maintains the cleaner’s full suction and collection efficiency. Always verify your cleaner’s model number before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
