Connect to the skimmer or dedicated suction line * No tools or special plumbing required * Review: Awesome, Effective, Time Saving, Miraculous! - . Recognize that I was skeptical about the G3 because there are devices that cost 8-10 times as much as this device. This Baracuda G3 is sooooooo awesome I was literally stunned at how well it worked. I truly mean stunned; fascinated, standing on the pool deck watching it work. I was mesmorized! For a while, I was in a state of disbelief. Why had my pool builder and supplier not mentioned this to me? Sure, I have vacuumed the pool hundreds of times over 15 years and while I listened to music, got a tan, more recently listened to podcasts but seriously, what’s 90 minutes X 15 times a season (this is a MN short season) X 15 years? 338 hours of wasted leisure time! I could have been biking, walking, inline skating… napping for Pete sake and my vac head would still NEVER perform as great a job as the G3 because I’ll only vac for about 90 minutes whereas this G3 can work all day and it sucks up every bit of organic detritus from the bottom and sides of the pool especially if you use a product that eliminates phosphates and drops dust and other organic matter to the bottom of the pool. I own a 24,000 gallon, vinyl lined, L-shaped pool so it has a long deep to shallow rectangle and a 12X12 shallow end L. I told my wife it will never get out of the deep end and it will never climb the vertical walls of the pool. WRONG! It clearly has a random action but I am still fascinated that if you let something randomize long enough in your pool it will cover just about every square inch on the flat, on the sloped, AND on the vert! Amazing. A couple of tips: You must have enough hose to reach one complete hose section beyond the furthest point from your skimmer attachment (I am purchasing a few extra sections). You MUST go to the company website in order to view or download the owner’s manual. Do NOT attempt to assemble and run this great tool by reading only the quick start guide that come in the box! Come on Baracuda….put the full manual in the box… the manual is only a couple of pages but I consider it to be vital. All I did was follow every simple step. The engineering is so simple and so effective. It comes with a suction gauge and the only thing that will mess you up is if your system is too weak (or maybe too strong). If your system lacks sufficient suction power, you might have to return it but I have a standard filter motor, three skimmers and a main drain so there are a lot of ways to increase the suction where the G3 connects to a skimmer to generate the exact amount of suction required…. No more or no less. Even if you only have one skimmer…. Give this thing a try. So much fun. Enjoy all the time you will be saving and you will have a cleaner pool than you would have if you were running the vac yourself. Review: Do not regret purchase - Reliable and powerful suction. Cleans walls also which is great! Got rid of the Howard vacuum for this and do not regret it. ## Features - 3 SIMPLE STEPS: In just three simple steps, the G3 cleaner is ready to clean your pool.

Are they interchangeable?** A: You should be able to replace the G2 with the G3, with out problems.However, check the hose weight placement on the first hose BEHIND the G3 and check the suction at the end of the LAST hose, before attaching the G3. If you want a WONDERFUL addition, and I would HIGHLY recommend it, buy the TWISTER and add it between the first and second hose sections at the wall or basket strainer connection. It will COMPLETELY eliminate the hose curling and allow the vacuum to access ALL point of the pool. Even the STEPS!! It's wonderful! **Q: Do you need to buy the additional scrub disk?** A: I live in Florida where the cleaner runs 5-6 hours per day 365 days per year and a scrub disk last at least three years. Save your money and wait until you need a new one and you can get it cheaper buying it by itself than the cleaner with an extra scrub disk package deal. **Q: With variable speed pumps what rpm are you setting? I need 2000 rpm to keep this thing moving, which is way too high!** A: I am using a constant speed pump, 3600 RPM, and I can vary or control the flow using valves. This device requires a moderate to high amount of flow to work consistently. Flow is what you are interested in and that is dependent on pump shaft speed and back pressure. These pumps are not positive displace and become very inefficient as the output pressure rises. Your 2000 RPM pump speed sounds reasonable to me not knowing the particulars of you system layout and parameters. I am a mechanical engineer with 50 years of experience with hydraulic machinery. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome, Effective, Time Saving, Miraculous! *by R***S on July 9, 2017* .

Cleans walls also which is great! Got rid of the Howard vacuum for this and do not regret it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Cleaner. Lasts 8+ years with minimal maintenance. *by B***S on March 10, 2026* I love my Baracuda G3. A few people have told me they really dislike them, but I have nothing but good things to say. I bought my 1st G3 model 25 years ago and this is now my 4th. Every one has lasted over 8 years and the maintenance has been very consistent: Replace the diaphragm once per year. Replace the finned disk, footpad, and compression ring at about 5 years. Replace the entire unit after 8 years. What I've found is that after 8 years, the plastic of the main body and the cartridge starts to get too brittle from sun and chlorine and one of those expensive parts will break. At that point, almost of the parts in the unit are nearing end-of-life, so it's not economically viable to just replace parts. I buy aftermarket diaphragm, disc, and footpad and the cost to maintain has been around $10/year. One tip I can offer is to put pipe joint compound (I use RectorSeal T-Plus-2) on the threads of the two halves of the internal cassette and on the threads where the cassette attaches to the main body. This will keep the parts from accidentally unscrewing, which can cause severe damage to the cassette if you don't notice it soon enough. ## Frequently Bought Together - Baracuda G3 W03000 Advanced Suction Side Automatic Pool Cleaner - ATIE G3 PRO Pool Cleaner Long Life Diaphragm W69698 with Retaining Ring W81600 Replacement for Zodiac Baracuda G3, G4 Pool Cleaner Diaphragm W69698 (2 Pack) - MAKHOON 4 Pieces Pool Cleaner Replacements Include W70329 Pool Cleaner Finned Seal W69698 Pool Cleaner Diaphragm W70327 Foot Pad Compatible with Zodiac Baracuda G2, G3, G4 Replace W69721 W72855 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/671832-zodiac-g3-suction-side-inground-vacuum-pool-cleaner](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/671832-zodiac-g3-suction-side-inground-vacuum-pool-cleaner) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
