Zodiac – Compressor Z200 9 kW R32 – R08510

The Zodiac Compressor Z200 9 kW R32 (SKU: R08510) is a replacement compressor unit designed for the Zodiac Z200 heat pump range. As the core component of a heat pump system, the compressor is responsible for compressing the refrigerant gas, raising its temperature and pressure so that heat can be efficiently transferred to the pool water. This is a genuine Zodiac spare part, ensuring full compatibility and reliable performance when replacing a faulty or worn compressor in an existing Z200 heat pump installation.

Using R32 refrigerant, this compressor reflects the modern shift toward more environmentally responsible refrigerants. R32 has a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) compared to older refrigerants such as R410A, making it a more sustainable choice. The 9 kW power rating corresponds to the heating capacity class of the Z200 heat pump, ensuring that the replacement compressor is correctly matched to the thermal demands of the unit and will restore the heat pump to its original operating efficiency.

Technical characteristics and construction

This compressor is engineered specifically for the Zodiac Z200 heat pump series and is rated at 9 kW, aligning with the heat output specifications of the original equipment. The use of R32 refrigerant requires that installation, handling, and disposal are carried out by a certified refrigeration technician, as R32 is a mildly flammable gas (A2L classification) and must be managed in accordance with current safety regulations.

As a genuine OEM replacement component, the R08510 compressor is manufactured to Zodiac’s original tolerances and specifications. This ensures that the heat pump will perform as intended after the repair, without the performance compromises that can arise from using non-original or incompatible parts. The component is intended for professional installation only and should be fitted by a qualified pool heating engineer or refrigeration specialist.

Suitability and application

This replacement compressor is specifically intended for owners and service professionals maintaining or repairing Zodiac Z200 heat pumps. The Z200 range is typically suited to residential and semi-commercial pool installations, and a faulty compressor is one of the most common causes of a heat pump losing its heating capacity entirely. Replacing the compressor with a genuine Zodiac R08510 unit is the recommended repair path to restore full functionality.

This part is not suitable for use in heat pumps from other manufacturers or other Zodiac heat pump series without confirming compatibility. Due to the use of R32 refrigerant, installation must be performed by a certified professional. This product is best suited to pool owners who have an existing Zodiac Z200 heat pump that requires a compressor replacement as part of a professional service or repair.
