Zodiac – Rear canister latch, 2-pack – R0836500

The Zodiac R0836500 is a genuine replacement rear canister latch designed specifically for the Polaris Quattro P40 and Quattro Sport pressure-side automatic pool cleaners. Sold as a pack of two, this part secures the rear debris canister firmly in place during operation, preventing it from opening unintentionally while the cleaner moves through the pool. Without a functioning latch, the canister may release collected debris back into the water, reducing cleaning efficiency significantly. Replacing worn or broken latches with this genuine OEM part restores the cleaner to full operational performance.

Construction and compatibility

Manufactured to Zodiac’s original specifications, the R0836500 latch is engineered to match the exact geometry and snap-fit mechanism of the rear canister assembly on the Quattro P40 and Quattro Sport models. The two-pack format is practical because latches on both sides of the canister typically wear at a similar rate, making it sensible to replace both at the same time to maintain balanced and secure closure. The part is made from durable pool-grade plastic designed to resist UV exposure, chlorinated water, and the mechanical stress of continuous pool cleaner operation. As a genuine Zodiac spare part, it integrates seamlessly without modification or adjustment.

Suitability and application

This replacement latch is intended exclusively for owners of the Polaris Quattro P40 and Polaris Quattro Sport pressure-side automatic pool cleaners. It is not a universal component and is not compatible with other Polaris or Zodiac cleaner models. If the existing latches on your Quattro canister are cracked, broken, loose, or no longer holding the canister securely closed, the R0836500 is the correct replacement. The two-pack ensures you have both latches on hand, which is recommended since both sides are subject to the same wear conditions. This is a straightforward DIY replacement requiring no special tools.
