These Wadoy replacement diaphragms are molded from flexible material and sold in a kit with matching retaining rings so you can swap worn parts quickly and return the cleaner to its original pulsing action. They fit several popular models but are aftermarket parts, not manufactured by Zodiac.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these diaphragms restore my cleaner’s movement?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe diaphragm controls the intake pulses that make the cleaner move across the pool surface. When the membrane becomes torn, hardened or misshapen, the suction pulses weaken and the cleaner loses drive. Replacing the diaphragm and retaining ring re-establishes a consistent air\/water flow pattern so the cleaner resumes normal navigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplaces worn W69698 diaphragm and W81600 retaining ring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRestores suction pulse timing and cleaner motion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a 4-pack to service multiple units or future wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich cleaner models will these parts fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese diaphragms are compatible with a range of suction-side pool cleaners that use the W69698-style membrane, including Zodiac Baracuda G3 and G4 and similar models.
