This is the genuine Fluidra replacement compressor assembly, complete with its fitted insulating jacket, designed specifically for the Zodiac Z400 iQ R32 pool heat pump range. The compressor is the heart of the heat pump’s refrigeration circuit, pressurising the R32 refrigerant to transfer heat efficiently from the outside air into your pool water. Replacing a failed or degraded compressor with the correct OEM part ensures the unit returns to its original performance specification.<\/p>\n
This compressor and jacket assembly is designed for the Zodiac Z400 iQ MD4 R32 pool heat pump, a model featuring a rotary vane compressor operating on R32 refrigerant. Always verify your heat pump’s model reference and serial number before ordering, as the Z400 iQ range includes multiple variants (MD4, MD5) that may use different compressor specifications. If in doubt, consult your Fluidra-authorised service agent.<\/p>\n
Using a genuine Fluidra OEM compressor guarantees an exact fit, correct refrigerant compatibility, and adherence to the original electrical and pressure ratings of the Z400 iQ. Third-party substitutes risk voiding your warranty, introducing refrigerant-circuit incompatibilities, and compromising the long-term reliability of a premium heat pump. The Z400 iQ is built around R32 refrigerant, a mildly flammable gas, so all replacement components must strictly conform to manufacturer specifications.<\/p>\n
Compressor replacement on an R32 heat pump is a complex refrigeration task that must be carried out by a qualified technician holding the appropriate F-gas certification. The refrigerant circuit must be fully evacuated before the old compressor is removed, and the system must be re-charged with R32 to the correct specification after fitting the new unit. Improper handling of R32 is both a safety hazard and a legal requirement under EU F-gas Regulation 517\/2014.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
