AquaForte – Heat Pump Controller Assembly (SC980–SC985 Series)

This is the genuine OEM replacement controller assembly for the AquaForte Full DC Inverter pool heat pump range, covering models SC980 through SC985. It serves as the central control unit of the heat pump, managing operating modes, temperature settings, defrost cycles, and user-interface functions. Sourced directly from Fluidra, it is listed as position 2 in the official exploded-view diagram for these units.

Compatibility

This controller assembly is designed to fit the AquaForte Full DC Inverter heat pump series: SC980 (5.5 kW), SC981 (7.2 kW), SC982 (9.5 kW), SC983 (11.5 kW), SC984 (15.3 kW), and SC985 (18 kW). It corresponds to Fluidra internal references FB-N201031005-002A, FB-N210427001-002, and 500-10018-085. Always verify your unit’s production date and internal reference code before ordering.

Why Genuine Matters

An OEM controller ensures full compatibility with the heat pump’s inverter electronics, Wi-Fi module, and Mitsubishi compressor management system. Aftermarket alternatives risk communication errors, loss of operating modes (Heating, Cooling, Silent, Boost, Smart), or voiding the unit’s warranty. This part is supplied by Fluidra — the manufacturer behind the AquaForte brand — guaranteeing a precise fit and reliable performance.

Installation

Replacement of the controller assembly should be carried out by a qualified pool heating technician. The heat pump must be fully isolated from the power supply before any work begins. Refer to the official AquaForte SC980–SC985 service manual and the Fluidra exploded-view diagram (position 2) to ensure correct fitment and reconnection of all wiring harnesses.
