Zodiac - Capacitor 25µF FHP 100M - R0792400

Zodiac – Capacitor 25µF FHP 100M – R0792400

The Zodiac R0792400 is a genuine OEM replacement capacitor designed for use with the Zodiac FLOPRO 100M pool pump motor. Capacitors are essential electrical components in single-phase AC motors: they create the phase shift needed to start and run the motor efficiently. Without a correctly rated capacitor, the pump motor cannot generate sufficient starting torque and may fail to start, run erratically, or overheat. Replacing a faulty or degraded capacitor with the correct genuine part restores normal pump operation quickly and cost-effectively, avoiding the need for a full motor replacement.

This capacitor is rated at 25 microfarads (µF), which is the precise capacitance value specified by Zodiac for the FHP 100M (approximately 750W) motor variant. Using the exact capacitance rating is critical: an incorrect value will cause the motor to draw excess current, generate heat, and wear prematurely. As a genuine Zodiac factory part, the R0792400 is manufactured to the original electrical and dimensional specifications, ensuring a direct drop-in replacement with no modification required.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

The R0792400 capacitor is specifically matched to the Zodiac FLOPRO FHP 100M pump, which is part of the FLOPRO range of single-speed pool circulation pumps. The FHP series is a family of fractional and full horsepower pumps offered in multiple power ratings — the 100M being the entry-level model in the range. Cross-referencing with the Zodiac product catalogue confirms that each FHP model uses its own dedicated capacitor value: the 100M uses 25µF (R0792400), while higher-power variants use progressively larger capacitances. This means it is important to verify your exact pump model before ordering to ensure you select the correct capacitor.

Being a genuine Zodiac spare part, this component is supplied new and unused, meeting all original factory tolerances for capacitance, voltage rating, and physical fitment. Installation is a straightforward like-for-like swap for a qualified technician, requiring disconnection of the pump from the power supply before removing the motor terminal cover and exchanging the capacitor.

Suitability and application

This capacitor is intended exclusively for pool owners or technicians servicing a Zodiac FLOPRO FHP 100M pump. It is not a universal component and should only be installed in the specific motor it is designed for. It is suitable for residential pool installations where the FLOPRO 100M pump is used for standard pool water circulation. If your pump is struggling to start, humming without turning, or tripping its thermal overload, a failed run/start capacitor is a common cause and this genuine replacement part is the correct remedy for FHP 100M units.
