Zodiac – Boreal lid kit with ring and pressure relief – R0804600

The Zodiac R0804600 is a genuine OEM replacement lid kit designed for the Boreal range of pool filtration equipment. This kit provides everything needed to restore the top closure of the filter housing, including the lid itself, a sealing ring, and a pressure relief mechanism. As a factory-matched spare part, it ensures a precise fit and reliable long-term performance, maintaining the integrity of the filtration system and preventing pressure build-up or water leakage around the filter head.

The pressure relief component is a critical safety feature: it allows trapped air and excess pressure to be safely vented before the lid is removed for maintenance, protecting both the user and the filter body from sudden pressure release. The sealing ring ensures a watertight closure between the lid and the filter tank, preventing bypass of unfiltered water and maintaining correct system pressure during operation. Together, these components form a complete service kit that can restore a worn or damaged lid assembly without the need to replace the entire filter unit.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

This kit is referenced in official Zodiac catalogues and parts lists under SKU R0804600. Based on catalogue data, the kit is associated with the Boreal filter series and is intended as a direct replacement for the original lid assembly components. The inclusion of the sealing ring eliminates the need to source gaskets separately, making this a convenient all-in-one solution for filter lid servicing. The pressure gauge accessory referenced alongside this part in the 2018 Zodiac catalogue (R0596500) suggests this filter operates within a standard residential pool pressure filtration range, up to 3 bar. Installation requires no specialist tools beyond basic pool maintenance skills, and the components are designed to be fitted by pool technicians or competent pool owners following standard Zodiac filter servicing procedures.

Suitability and application

The R0804600 lid kit is intended for residential swimming pools equipped with Zodiac Boreal series sand or media filters. It is suitable for pools where the filter lid assembly shows signs of wear, cracking, poor sealing, or where the pressure relief function has become unreliable. This kit is the correct choice when the filter body itself remains in good condition but the lid components require renewal. It is not a universal part — it is designed specifically for Zodiac Boreal filter models, and compatibility should be confirmed against the specific filter model before ordering. Using genuine Zodiac replacement parts helps ensure the filter continues to operate safely and within its rated pressure specifications.
