Fluidra - Replacement Compressor for Zodiac Z400iQ MD8 Heat Pump (R32)

Fluidra – Replacement Compressor for Zodiac Z400iQ MD8 Heat Pump (R32)

This is the genuine OEM replacement compressor for the Zodiac Z400iQ MD8 pool heat pump, designed to work with R32 refrigerant. The compressor is the heart of the heat pump’s refrigeration circuit, pressurising the refrigerant gas to transfer heat energy efficiently into your pool water. Sourced directly from Fluidra, it is built to the exact specifications of the original unit.

Compatibility

This compressor is designed specifically for the Fluidra Zodiac Z400iQ MD8 pool heat pump — a full inverter, Wi-Fi connected unit suitable for pools of 75–110 m³. Always verify your heat pump’s model and serial number before ordering, as compressor specifications differ across the Z400iQ range (MD4, MD5, MD7, MD8, MD9).

Why genuine matters

A compressor must be precisely matched to the refrigerant charge, system pressures, and electrical supply of the host unit. Using a genuine Fluidra part ensures correct R32 compatibility, preserves manufacturer tolerances, and protects any remaining warranty on your heat pump. Third-party alternatives may compromise efficiency, system integrity, or safety.

Installation

Compressor replacement involves handling R32, a fluorinated greenhouse gas regulated under EU Regulation 517/2014. By law, this work must be carried out by an F-gas certified refrigeration technician. The system must be properly evacuated, the refrigerant recovered or recharged to specification, and all joints leak-tested before returning the unit to service. This part is not suitable for DIY installation.
