Zodiac – UKV detection coil Z400 – R0848600

The Zodiac R0848600 is a genuine replacement UKV detection coil designed specifically for the Zodiac Z400 series salt chlorinator systems. This component forms a critical part of the chlorinator’s flow and detection circuitry, enabling the unit to accurately monitor and respond to the presence of water flow through the electrolytic cell housing. As a factory-original spare part, it ensures that the chlorinator continues to operate with the precision and reliability expected from Zodiac’s professional-grade pool care equipment.

The detection coil works by sensing the electromagnetic or inductive signal generated within the flow detection assembly of the Z400 chlorinator. When the coil degrades or fails, the chlorinator may incorrectly read water flow conditions, triggering fault codes or shutting down chlorine production prematurely. Replacing this component with the genuine Zodiac R0848600 part restores correct detection behaviour and safeguards the long-term performance of the chlorination system.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

This detection coil is engineered as an exact fit for the Zodiac Z400 series chlorinators, including variants referenced in the Zodiac 2020 catalogue alongside part number R0848600. The coil is a precision-wound component matched to the electrical and dimensional specifications of the Z400 platform. Because salt chlorinators rely on accurate flow detection to protect the cell from running dry and to regulate chlorine output, the quality and accuracy of this component directly affects both safety and efficiency. Using a non-genuine substitute risks mismatched sensitivity, incorrect fault signalling, or premature system wear. The Zodiac R0848600 eliminates these risks by providing a direct, verified replacement that integrates seamlessly into the existing housing without modification.

Suitability and application

This part is intended for pool owners and service technicians maintaining a Zodiac Z400 series salt chlorinator installation. It is suitable for both residential and light commercial pool setups where the Z400 system has been installed for automated chlorination. If your Z400 unit is displaying flow-related error codes, failing to produce chlorine despite adequate water flow, or showing erratic behaviour linked to detection faults, the UKV detection coil is one of the key components to inspect and potentially replace. This is a specialist spare part and is not intended as a standalone upgrade; it is designed exclusively to restore the original factory functionality of a Z400 chlorinator already in service.
