Zodiac - Capacitor 35µF FHP 150M - R0792500

Zodiac – Capacitor 35µF FHP 150M – R0792500

The Zodiac R0792500 is a genuine replacement run capacitor designed specifically for use with the Zodiac FloPro FHP 150M pool pump motor. Capacitors are essential electrical components within single-phase AC motors: they store and release electrical energy to create the phase shift needed to start and maintain smooth motor rotation. Without a correctly rated capacitor, the pump motor will fail to start, run inefficiently, or suffer premature burnout. This is a direct OEM replacement part, ensuring the correct capacitance rating and physical fit for your FloPro 150M unit.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

This capacitor carries a capacitance rating of 35µF, which is the precise value required by the FloPro FHP 150M motor to operate within its designed electrical parameters. Using a capacitor with an incorrect µF rating — even slightly off — can cause overheating, reduced torque, or motor failure, making it critical to use the exact specified value. The part is manufactured to Zodiac’s original equipment standards, meaning it matches the original component in terms of voltage tolerance, physical dimensions, and terminal configuration, allowing straightforward like-for-like installation inside the pump motor housing. Note that a related Zodiac part, R0792600, covers the 45µF variant intended for the 200M model — ensure you select R0792500 for the 150M variant specifically.

Suitability and intended application

This capacitor is intended for pool owners and service technicians maintaining or repairing a Zodiac FloPro FHP 150M single-speed pool pump. It is the correct choice when a pump motor hums but fails to start, runs with reduced performance, or has been diagnosed with a failed run capacitor. As a genuine Zodiac spare part, it is suitable for both residential pool installations and light commercial pool setups where the FloPro 150M pump is installed. Always ensure the pump is fully isolated from the power supply before replacing any electrical component, and consult a qualified electrician or pool technician if in doubt.
