Fluidra - Motor Capacitor 10 µF 450 V for Baracuda Aquantis Max 33M - 4405011494

Fluidra – Motor Capacitor 10 µF 450 V for Baracuda Aquantis Max 33M

This is the genuine Fluidra replacement motor capacitor for the Baracuda Aquantis Max 33M pool pump. Rated at 10 µF and 450 V, it is the electrical component inside the pump motor housing that provides the phase shift needed to start and run the single-phase motor reliably. Replacing a failed capacitor is one of the most cost-effective repairs you can make — often restoring a pump that hums but will not start, without the need for a full motor replacement.

Compatibility

This capacitor is specifically sourced as an OEM spare part for the Baracuda Aquantis Max 33M pump (Fluidra). It is not a universal aftermarket part, so correct fitment is assured when matched to that pump model. If you are unsure whether your pump variant uses this exact capacitor, cross-reference the part number 4405011494 against the pump’s spare-parts diagram before ordering.

Why Genuine Matters

A capacitor that is incorrectly rated — even slightly — can cause hard starting, overheating, or premature motor winding failure. Using the genuine Fluidra OEM component guarantees the correct capacitance (10 µF), voltage rating (450 V), and physical dimensions for a drop-in fit, preserving the motor’s designed performance and any remaining warranty coverage.

Installation

Capacitor replacement is a straightforward workshop task for a qualified electrician or experienced pool technician: isolate power, discharge the old capacitor safely before handling, swap the component, and reconnect the terminals. Because capacitors can retain a dangerous charge even after the pump is switched off, Fluidra recommends this work be carried out by a competent person familiar with electrical safety procedures.
