Zodiac – Pump body FHP – R0479801

The Zodiac pump body FHP (R0479801) is a genuine OEM replacement housing designed specifically for Zodiac’s FHP series of pool circulation pumps. The pump body forms the core hydraulic chamber of the pump assembly — it is the wet-end casing through which pool water is drawn in, pressurised, and directed toward the filtration system and return lines. As a structural and functional component, the pump body must be free of cracks, warping, or seal failures to maintain efficient water flow and system pressure. Replacing a damaged or deteriorated pump body with an authentic Zodiac spare part restores the hydraulic integrity of the pump and extends the working life of the overall unit without requiring a full pump replacement.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

The R0479801 pump body is engineered to fit the Zodiac FHP range, which includes models such as the FHP 100M, 150M, 200M, 150T, and 200T — a family of single-speed and multi-speed pool pumps widely used in residential swimming pool installations. The body is manufactured to Zodiac’s original engineering tolerances, ensuring that all port dimensions, thread specifications, and internal hydraulic profiles match the factory design exactly. This precision fit is critical for maintaining correct flow rates and preventing bypass leakage around seals and gaskets. The component is constructed from durable thermoplastic materials suited to continuous contact with chlorinated or salt-treated pool water. As a wet-end component, it is designed to withstand the chemical and thermal stresses typical of outdoor pool pump operation.

Suitability and installation context

This replacement pump body is intended for pool owners, service technicians, and maintenance professionals who need to overhaul or repair a Zodiac FHP series pump rather than replace the entire unit. It is suitable for residential in-ground and above-ground swimming pools where FHP series pumps are already installed. Before ordering, it is important to confirm the exact FHP model installed, as pump body dimensions and port configurations may vary between models in the range. Installation requires draining and disconnecting the pump, removing the existing wet-end assembly, and fitting the new body with appropriate gaskets or O-rings (which may be sold separately). Using genuine Zodiac replacement parts ensures continued warranty compliance and optimal performance of the pump system.
