Flotide/MEGA - Heat Pump High Pressure Switch 3.6–4.2 MPa - 7024793

Flotide/MEGA – Heat Pump High Pressure Switch 3.6–4.2 MPa

This is the genuine Flotide/MEGA replacement high pressure switch for the Flotide/MEGA Heat Pump (Type 3), calibrated to a trip range of 3.6–4.2 MPa. It is a critical safety component within the refrigerant circuit, designed to monitor discharge-side pressure and shut down the compressor automatically if safe pressure limits are exceeded.

Keeping this switch in good working order protects the compressor and the entire refrigeration system from damage caused by abnormal pressure build-up, ensuring your pool heat pump continues to operate safely and efficiently season after season.

How It Works

The high pressure switch continuously monitors refrigerant pressure on the high-pressure side of the heat pump’s circuit. When pressure rises above the preset threshold — due to causes such as a blocked condenser, refrigerant overcharge, or restricted airflow — the switch opens its electrical contacts and immediately de-energises the compressor, halting further pressure increase and preventing potentially costly damage.

Compatibility

This switch is a genuine Flotide/MEGA spare part intended specifically for the Flotide/MEGA Heat Pump Type 3. If you are unsure whether this part matches your exact unit, please check your heat pump’s model label or contact us before ordering, as pressure switch specifications vary between models and incorrect fitment can compromise safety.

Installation

Replacement of a high pressure switch involves working within the sealed refrigerant circuit and should only be carried out by a qualified refrigeration or HVAC technician. Refrigerant pressure must be safely relieved before removal, and the system should be tested for correct operation and leak-free connections after the new switch is fitted.
