Zodiac - Condenser 25kW R410A - R06957

Zodiac – Condenser 25kW R410A – R06957

The Zodiac R06957 is a genuine OEM replacement condenser designed for use in Zodiac’s premium heat pump range. The condenser is a core refrigeration component responsible for releasing heat from the refrigerant circuit into the pool water, making it the primary heat exchange element in the heating cycle. When the compressor pressurises the refrigerant, the hot gas passes through the condenser coil where its thermal energy is transferred directly to the circulating pool water, raising the water temperature efficiently. This unit operates with the R410A refrigerant, a modern, environmentally cleaner refrigerant widely adopted in high-performance heat pump systems, offering excellent thermodynamic efficiency and reliable operation across a broad range of ambient temperatures.

Rated at 25 kW of thermal output capacity, this condenser is matched to Zodiac’s mid-to-large heat pump models within the PFPREM series, including references such as the PFPREM 15 MD/TD and associated platform models PM3072, PM3076, and Z300 MD8/TD8 variants. As a genuine Zodiac spare part, it is manufactured to the exact tolerances and material specifications of the original factory-fitted component, ensuring full compatibility with the refrigerant circuit, mounting brackets, and water-side connections of the target units. Using a genuine replacement condenser preserves the thermal efficiency ratings and operational safety of the heat pump, avoiding the performance losses and potential warranty implications associated with non-OEM alternatives.

Technical characteristics and construction

The condenser in a pool heat pump is a titanium or high-grade coaxial heat exchanger, designed to withstand continuous exposure to pool water including chemically treated and saline water. The R410A refrigerant used in this system operates at higher pressures than older refrigerants such as R22 or R407C, meaning the condenser must be rated and constructed accordingly to maintain pressure integrity over the product’s service life. At 25 kW capacity, this component is sized to support substantial heat output suitable for larger residential and semi-commercial pool installations. Replacement of a condenser is typically required following refrigerant-side fouling, physical damage to the coil, or a loss of heat exchange efficiency diagnosed during a professional service inspection. Installation must be carried out by a qualified refrigeration technician, as the procedure involves handling pressurised refrigerant circuits.

Suitability and application

This condenser is specifically intended as a factory replacement part for Zodiac heat pumps in the PFPREM 15 MD/TD series and compatible models including PM3072, PM3076, and Z300 MD8/TD8. It is suited to larger residential pools and installations where Zodiac heat pumps in the 15 kW to 25 kW class are deployed. If you are unsure whether this condenser matches your specific heat pump model, cross-reference your unit’s model plate with the confirmed compatibility list before ordering. This is a technical spare part intended for professional installation and is not a consumer-fit component.
