  Zeta Aquarii is a bright and nearby (28 pc) triple star with a 26-year
astrometric subsystem. Almost a half of the outer 540-year visual orbit has
been covered in 238 years of its observations. Both inner and outer orbits are
revised here taking into account recent direct resolution of the inner pair
Aa,Ab. The inner orbit has a high eccentricity of 0.87 and is inclined to the
outer orbit by 140+-10 degrees, suggesting that Kozai-Lidov cycles take place.
The masses of the stars Aa, B, and Ab are 1.4, 1.4, and 0.6 solar. The age of
the system is about 3 Gyr, and the two main components have just left the main
sequence. Hypothetically, this system could have formed by a dynamical capture
of the small star Ab in the twin binary Aa,B.
