Intex pressure-side automatic pool cleaner ZX300 Deluxe — 21 ft tangle-free hose, for above-ground pools up to 26 ft

The Intex ZX300 Deluxe is a pressure-side automatic pool vacuum that scrubs floors and walls to remove dirt and debris without manual scooping.

Designed for above-ground pools, the ZX300 connects to your pool’s return/inlet and uses water pressure to power an all-wheel drive system and dual scrubbers. It’s built to handle round pools up to 26 ft and rectangular pools up to 36 x 12 ft, and includes a tangle-free hose and adapter so you can start cleaning quickly. The unit is compatible with a broad range of pump flows and focuses on picking up fine particles and larger debris along the waterline and pool surfaces.

How does the ZX300 work to clean my above-ground pool?

The ZX300 taps into your pool’s return pressure to propel itself and create strong suction inside the cleaner. Dual dirt scrubbers agitate trapped grime so suction can lift it into the device, while its water-driven drive system helps climb walls and navigate the floor. This setup reduces the need for manual vacuuming or extended brushing sessions.

• Connects to standard inlet/return fitting with included 1-1/4" converter.
• 700 gallons-per-hour internal suction for steady debris pickup.
• All-wheel water-powered drive for improved wall-climbing and mobility.
• Dual scrubbers for dislodging fine and stubborn dirt up to the waterline.

Will the ZX300 work with my pool pump and pool size?

The ZX300 is engineered for most above-ground pool setups: round pools up to 26 ft diameter and rectangular pools up to 36 x 12 ft. It performs best with pool pumps producing between 1,600 and 3,500 gallons per minute water flow, making it compatible with many common pump specifications. Check your pump rating to ensure optimal performance and to avoid under- or over-driving the cleaner.

• Suitable for round pools up to 26 ft and rectangular pools up to 36 x 12 ft.
• Works with pumps rated 1,600–3,500 GPM for best results.
• Includes adapter to fit 1-1/4" inlet connections for broad compatibility.

What comes in the box and how easy is setup?

The ZX300 ships ready to assemble with the cleaner body, a 21-foot tangle-free hose, and a 1-1/4" converter so you can attach it to most inlet fittings right away. Setup is straightforward: attach the hose and converter, connect to the return line, and let the cleaner drive itself around the pool. Minimal tools are required and the included hose helps avoid snags during operation.

• ZX300 pressure-side automatic pool cleaner included.
• 21-foot tangle-free hose for broad coverage and no-snarl operation.
• 1-1/4" converter included for common inlet fittings.

How does the ZX300 handle different types of debris and pool surfaces?

Dual scrubbers and steady internal suction tackle a range of contaminants from fine sand and algae to leaves and larger particles. The water-powered wheels and design offer good traction on typical vinyl and metal-walled above-ground pools, helping the unit climb and clean closer to the waterline. While effective on common dirt types, very large debris may require occasional manual removal to maintain flow.

• Dual scrubbers designed for both fine and stubborn dirt.
• Water-powered drive improves traction on walls and floors.
• Best for typical above-ground surfaces like vinyl and resin walls.

Who is this for: The Intex ZX300 Deluxe is aimed at above-ground pool owners who want an affordable, mostly hands-off cleaning solution for mid-size to large pools. It’s a practical choice if you have a compatible pump, want to reduce manual brushing and vacuuming, and need a cleaner that tackles both fine sediment and common debris along the waterline.
