Zodiac – Condensate collection tray Z300 – R07242

The Zodiac R07242 is a genuine OEM condensate collection tray designed specifically for the Zodiac Z300 heat pump range. Its primary function is to safely collect and channel the condensate water that naturally forms on the evaporator coil during the heat exchange process. Without a properly functioning condensate tray, water can drip freely onto surrounding surfaces or the base of the unit, potentially causing corrosion, slipping hazards, and damage to nearby electrical or mechanical components. This replacement tray restores correct water management within the heat pump and ensures the unit continues to operate safely and cleanly.

Technical characteristics and construction

As a dedicated spare part for the Z300 series, this condensate tray is manufactured to exact Zodiac specifications, ensuring a precise fit with no modification required. The tray is shaped to sit correctly beneath the evaporator section of the Z300 heat pump, capturing condensate runoff across the full width of the coil area. The component is designed to direct water towards a drainage outlet, keeping the interior of the heat pump dry and free from standing water. Zodiac spare parts are produced from materials chosen for resistance to moisture and the environmental conditions typical of outdoor pool equipment installations — including UV exposure, temperature cycling, and continuous contact with water.

Suitability, application, and buying context

This part is intended exclusively for the Zodiac Z300 pool heat pump. It is a direct OEM replacement and is the correct choice when the original tray has become cracked, warped, blocked, or damaged, leading to water leaking out of the unit or pooling in unintended areas. The Z300 heat pump is typically installed outdoors, close to the pool technical room, as indicated in Zodiac’s official installation documentation. If you are carrying out routine maintenance, a full service, or responding to a condensate leak complaint on a Z300 unit, this tray is the manufacturer-approved solution. Always verify your heat pump model number before ordering to confirm compatibility.
