AstralPool - Motor Capacitor 15 µF for Monobloc D.500 P-Xpert10 - 4405010500

AstralPool – Motor Capacitor 15 µF for Monobloc D.500 P-Xpert10

This is the genuine AstralPool replacement motor capacitor, rated at 15 µF, for the Monobloc D.500 Pump P-Xpert10 sand-filter system (parent SKU M00507). The capacitor is a critical electrical component within the pump motor that provides the phase-shift current needed to start and/or run the motor reliably. A failed or weak capacitor is one of the most common causes of a pool pump motor humming but failing to start.

Compatibilité

This capacitor is designed exclusively for the AstralPool Monobloc D.500 Pump P-Xpert10 (model reference M00507). It corresponds to position 12 in the official Fluidra exploded-view diagram for this unit. Always cross-reference your model number before ordering to ensure an exact match.

Pourquoi l'authenticité est importante

Using a genuine AstralPool capacitor guarantees the correct capacitance value (15 µF), voltage rating, and physical dimensions specified by Fluidra engineers for this motor. Off-brand substitutes with slightly incorrect ratings can cause the motor to run hot, trip the thermal overload protector, or fail prematurely — shortening the life of the entire pump assembly.

Installation

Replacing a motor capacitor involves working with stored electrical charge and mains voltage; the pump must be fully disconnected from the power supply before any work begins. It is strongly recommended that this component be installed by a qualified electrician or pool technician. The capacitor typically clips or mounts inside the motor end-cover and connects via spade terminals, making the swap straightforward once power is safely isolated.
