This is the genuine OEM fan cover for the AquaForte Full Inverter Heat Pump 9.5 kW (model SC982). Positioned as component 1 in the official Fluidra exploded-view diagram, the fan cover forms the outermost protective housing over the heat pump’s fan assembly, shielding internal components from debris, weather, and accidental contact while allowing unrestricted airflow for efficient heat exchange.<\/p>\n
This fan cover is designed exclusively for the AquaForte Full Inverter Heat Pump 9.5 kW, model SC982. Always verify your heat pump’s model code before ordering \u2014 it will not fit other SC-series models such as the SC983, SC984, or SC985. The model designation is found on the rating label affixed to your unit.<\/p>\n
As a genuine AquaForte spare part sourced through Fluidra, this fan cover is manufactured to the exact dimensions and material specification of the original part. An ill-fitting or aftermarket cover can disrupt airflow, reduce unit efficiency, and potentially void your warranty. Using the correct OEM component ensures the heat pump continues to operate at its rated COP and maintains its weatherproof integrity.<\/p>\n
The fan cover corresponds to position 1 in the SC982 exploded-view diagram, making part identification straightforward for technicians. Replacement typically involves removing the fasteners securing the cover to the top of the unit casing and lifting it clear of the fan assembly. We recommend that installation is carried out by a qualified pool heating technician to avoid disturbing refrigerant lines or electrical connections.<\/p>\n
