Zodiac Baracuda Adjustable Wheel Deflector – Universal Fit for Popular Suction Cleaners

Keep your pool cleaner moving freely and help it from getting stuck on steps, corners, and ladders.

The Zodiac Baracuda Adjustable Wheel Deflector is a universal accessory designed to improve the movement and navigation of suction-side automatic pool cleaners. By attaching directly to the cleaner hose, it helps guide the unit away from obstacles and ensures smoother cleaning patterns.

If your pool cleaner keeps jamming in corners, this simple add-on can solve the problem.

Universal Compatibility

The adjustable wheel deflector suits many popular Zodiac and even other brands of suction cleaner models, including:

• Zodaic G2, T3, T5, Pacer B3, G4, Classic, Pacer
• And any other pool cleaner models that connects to a 38mm hose 

Because it locks securely onto the hose of the pool cleaner, it provides a versatile fit across multiple units.

Why Install a Wheel Deflector?

Prevents Getting Stuck

Helps redirect the cleaner when it approaches pool steps, tight corners, and ladders.

Improves Cleaning Coverage

Encourages better movement patterns for more consistent pool floor cleaning.

Easy to Install

Simply clips onto the hose — no special tools required.

Durable Construction

How It Works

The adjustable deflector acts as a physical guide. When the cleaner approaches an obstacle, the wheel makes contact first, gently steering the unit away and allowing it to continue cleaning uninterrupted.

Better navigation means:

• Less manual repositioning
• More efficient cleaning cycles
• Reduced wear from repeated jamming

Ideal For

• Residential in-ground pools
• Pools with steps and tight corners
• Suction-side pool cleaner systems
• Replacing worn or damaged deflectors

A small upgrade can make a noticeable difference in your pool cleaner’s performance.

Keep your cleaner moving. Improve coverage. Reduce frustration.
