Counterweight for hose Zodiac T3 or T5 (W83247P)
If your Zodiac T3 or T5 Duo no longer moves smoothly across the bottom or keeps wanting to float upwards, there's a good chance something is wrong with the balance of the hose. This original counterweight (reference W83247P) is designed exactly for that. It's a small but essential part that ensures your automatic cleaner stays neatly on the bottom and can complete its path properly.
At Pool.shop we supply the genuine Zodiac replacement part, so you can be sure it fits and works as it should with your T3 or T5 Duo.
Why a counterweight makes the difference
The hose of your pool robot has a float on the robot side and a counterweight further along. Together, these two determine how your cleaner moves through the water. If the counterweight is damaged or missing, the robot often starts to wobble, gets stuck, or skips entire sections of the bottom. With the right weight in the right place, you get that stable, methodical movement back.
Where and how to fit it
You fit the counterweight on the first section of the suction hose, at approximately 1 metre from the cleaner itself. This position is not arbitrary: it keeps the hose at the correct height in the water, so the robot continues to suck properly and doesn't float up. If in doubt, follow the assembly order in your Zodiac manual — first hose section with float on the robot, and the counterweight at the indicated position after that.
A good time to replace it
The start of the swimming season or a major clean-up is the ideal time to check your hose components. If you notice your cleaner working less thoroughly than before, check the hose for cracks, and check whether the counterweight is still securely fitted and complete. Ordering a new one in time saves you a lot of puzzling in the middle of the season.
In short
This is the original Zodiac counterweight W83247P, specifically suitable for the Zodiac T3 and T5 Duo cleaners. A compact replacement part that makes a big difference in how well your robot does its job. Not sure whether this is the right part for your model?
