When to replace the Zodiac R0768700 plug
Repeated plugging and unplugging, combined with heat and humidity in the technical room, can gradually wear the contacts or housing of the original plug.
Replacing the plug prevents unreliable connections and potential overheating at the power entry.
- Loose connection or intermittent power when the cable is moved.
- Visible burn marks, discolouration or deformation on the plug body or pins.
- Pins that are bent, corroded or no longer align correctly with the socket.
- Cracks or breaks in the plug housing or strain relief.
Installation guidelines
Installation of the Zodiac male 3 pin AUS plug R0768700 involves working on the mains power lead and must follow local electrical safety standards.
If you are not familiar with electrical work, the operation should be performed by a qualified technician.
- Disconnect the chlorinator from the mains and verify the cable is not live before cutting or opening the plug.
- Remove the old plug carefully, noting the wiring configuration and colour codes used.
- Prepare the cable sheath and conductors to the lengths specified by the new plug.
- Connect the active, neutral and earth conductors to the correct terminals inside the R0768700 plug and tighten firmly.
- Reassemble the plug housing, ensuring the strain relief grips the cable jacket without crushing it.
- Visually check that no bare conductor is exposed and that the plug closes fully.
After installation, reconnect the chlorinator and verify that it powers up normally without signs of overheating or poor contact at the plug.
Care and good practice
Good handling of the mains plug and cable extends the service life of the new R0768700 connector and helps maintain a safe installation.
- Always unplug by holding the plug body, not pulling on the cable.
- Keep the plug and socket dry and protected from direct splashes.
- Inspect the plug at the start of each season for damage to the housing or pins.
- Replace the plug immediately if you notice heat, burning smell or visible damage.
With a correctly wired Zodiac male 3 pin AUS plug R0768700 and a sound mains cable, compatible Tri, Tri Expert and Hydroxinator systems receive
a stable and safe power supply for everyday operation.
