Fluidra - Refrigerant Liquid Separator for Zodiac Z400 MD4 / MD5 / MD7 / TD7 Heat Pumps

Fluidra – Refrigerant Liquid Separator for Zodiac Z400 MD4 / MD5 / MD7 / TD7 Heat Pumps

This is the genuine Fluidra replacement liquid separator for the Zodiac Z400 pool heat pump series, compatible with MD4, MD5, MD7, and TD7 models. Positioned within the refrigerant circuit, it separates liquid refrigerant from vapour before it reaches the compressor, safeguarding the compressor from liquid slugging and helping to stabilise refrigerant flow throughout the heating cycle. Replacing a worn or damaged separator with this factory-original part restores the heat pump’s refrigerant circuit to full manufacturer specification.

Compatibility

This liquid separator is designed specifically for the Fluidra Zodiac Z400 heat pump range, covering the MD4, MD5, MD7, and TD7 variants. Always verify your heat pump’s model number before ordering, as this component is not shared across all Z400 sub-models. Refer to your unit’s exploded-view diagram to confirm the part position within your specific assembly.

Why genuine matters

The refrigerant circuit is a precision-engineered, sealed system. Using a non-OEM separator risks incorrect sizing, incompatible fittings, or inadequate phase separation — any of which can cause compressor damage and costly repairs. This genuine Fluidra part is manufactured to the exact tolerances of the original, ensuring reliable refrigerant flow management and long-term protection of the compressor.

Installation

Replacement of this component involves working within the sealed refrigerant circuit and must be carried out by a qualified HVAC or pool heat pump technician who is certified to handle refrigerants. Improper handling of refrigerant is hazardous and may be prohibited by local regulations. Once fitted correctly, no further calibration is required — the unit can be recharged and returned to normal operation.
