Zodiac - Capillary compressor 9kW Z200 R32 - R08505

Zodiac – Capillary compressor 9kW Z200 R32 – R08505

This is a genuine Zodiac replacement compressor unit designed for use with the Zodiac Z200 heat pump range. Operating with R32 refrigerant and rated at 9kW, this capillary compressor is a critical internal component of the heat pump’s refrigeration circuit. The compressor is responsible for pressurising the refrigerant gas, which is the core mechanical process that allows the heat pump to extract thermal energy from ambient air and transfer it efficiently into your pool water. As a factory-matched spare part, it is engineered to meet the original performance specifications of the Z200 series heat pump.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

This compressor uses R32 refrigerant, a modern low-GWP (Global Warming Potential) refrigerant that offers improved energy efficiency compared to older refrigerant types. R32 is increasingly used in pool heat pumps due to its superior thermodynamic properties and reduced environmental impact. The 9kW rating refers to the heating output capacity that this compressor supports within the Z200 heat pump system. The capillary tube design is used within the refrigerant circuit to regulate flow and pressure between the high-pressure and low-pressure sides of the system, making precise replacement with the correct part essential for proper system operation. This component is intended for installation by a qualified refrigeration or pool heating technician, as working with refrigerant circuits requires specialist tools and certification.

Suitability and application

This spare part is specifically intended for owners or service technicians maintaining a Zodiac Z200 heat pump that requires compressor replacement. The Z200 series is designed for residential swimming pools, and the 9kW output is generally suited to small to medium-sized pools in moderate climates. If your Z200 heat pump is producing no heat, running but not warming the water, or displaying a compressor fault code, this replacement component may restore full heating performance. Always confirm compatibility with your specific Z200 model variant and serial number before ordering, and ensure installation is performed by a certified technician familiar with R32 refrigerant systems.
