Zodiac – Motor assembly, FloPro VS 160 Aut – R0773200

The Zodiac R0773200 is the complete motor assembly designed as an OEM replacement component for the Zodiac FloPro VS 160 Aut variable speed pool pump. This assembly provides the core drive mechanism responsible for powering the pump impeller, enabling the variable speed operation that is central to the FloPro VS series. As a genuine Zodiac spare part, it ensures full compatibility and performance parity with the original equipment, making it the correct choice when the motor needs to be replaced due to wear, electrical failure, or mechanical damage.

The FloPro VS 160 Aut is a variable speed pump widely used in residential swimming pools across Europe and Australia. The motor assembly within this pump is engineered to support multiple programmable speed settings, which allows the pump to operate at lower speeds during filtration cycles and higher speeds when additional hydraulic performance is needed. Running at reduced speeds significantly lowers energy consumption compared to single-speed alternatives, which is one of the key selling points of the FloPro VS platform. This replacement motor assembly restores that variable speed capability when the original motor reaches end of life.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

This motor assembly is specifically matched to the FloPro VS 160 Aut pump model and is sold under Zodiac part number R0773200. It is a factory-matched component, meaning the electrical and mechanical specifications align precisely with the pump housing and hydraulic end, avoiding the risks associated with non-OEM substitutions. The assembly integrates with the existing backplate, seal plate, and impeller arrangement of the FloPro VS 160 Aut, so replacement can be performed without the need to replace the entire pump unit. This reduces both parts cost and installation time when only the motor has failed.

Zodiac engineering standards require that replacement components meet the same tolerances as the original build, ensuring that bearing alignment, shaft dimensions, and electrical connections are all correct for the application. Using the genuine R0773200 assembly maintains the original pump warranty structure where applicable and avoids hydraulic or electrical mismatches that could arise from third-party alternatives.

Suitability and application

This motor assembly is intended exclusively for use with the Zodiac FloPro VS 160 Aut variable speed pump. It is suitable for residential in-ground and above-ground pool installations where the FloPro VS 160 Aut is already installed and the motor component requires replacement. It is not a universal motor and is not compatible with other pump models or brands. Pool technicians and service professionals replacing a failed motor on this specific pump model should confirm the pump model number and existing part number before ordering. This part is not intended for end users unfamiliar with pool pump servicing, as motor replacement requires disconnection from mains electrical supply and should be carried out by a qualified technician.
