and using glue and priming fluid. Ensure no excess adhesive runs into the union proper affecting the
sealing or removal abilities. Allow 24 hours to dry before starting pump. Do not use "green" glue on barrel
unions. This can cause damage to the ABS material used to manufacture the unions.
D. Install isolation valves before the pump section and after equipment, if the pump is below the water level
of the pool.
E. For pump installations 500mm above water level, it generally requires a foot valve at the pool or check
valve in the suction line. Suction lines must be installed below water level until just in front of pump
location and vertical riser used to reach pump inlet. AstralPool pumps are rated to a maximum head of 25
metres however refer to your pumps data plate for actual achievable pressure.
F. All pumps will operate quieter and perform more efficiently if a straight length of 450mm pipe is plumbed
horizontally into the front of the pump.
G. Water temperature not to exceed 45 degrees.
H. Pumps must be either
- supplied by an isolating transformer, or
- supplied through a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding
30mA.
Warning: Viron pumps include PCB's and microchips. It is necessary to turn power off completely for 10
seconds before turning pump back on again. Some brands on chlorinators may bleed a small amount of
power into the Viron Pump even when the pump off mode is selected. If this occurs, the Viron Pump may
not reset correctly and may not start until power is disconnected completely. In some cases, the
manufacturer of these chlorinators may be able to remove or change a capacitor which will completely
disconnect power to the pump when turned off. If not, a suitable chlorinator may be required to be
purchased. Astral Pool chlorinators completely disconnect power to the pump when the pump off mode is
selected.
OPERATION
1.
Prime pump if hair and lint pot is dry as follows – Close off valve on suction line if present. Remove lint pot
lid. Fill lint pot and chamber with water. Replace and secure lint pot lid and seal.
2.
Open all valves, allowing water to flow through pump.
3.
Switch on power to pump, motor to start.
4.
If some flow of water does not establish within on half minute, switch off and prime pump again. If pump
does not prime within 3 attempts, check all suction connections for sealing. If these are satisfactory, a
check or foot valve is required to hold water for prime.
5.
If the water flow through pump is always tedious to obtain at start-up after cleaning the lint basket, then
an examination of the system to establish a reason and correct the cause is recommended. Eg. Check
valve, air leaks, faulty seal, cracked lint pot lid, etc.
6.
The Viron EVO has 3 factory preset speed settings – Low, Medium and High. High should be used when
backwashing, manually vacuuming the pool or operating spa jets or some water features such as
waterfalls. Medium speed can be used for gentle spa jet action, when suction cleaner is connected to the
skimmer or filtration for the pool. Low is the recommended setting for everyday filtration of your pool
when a cleaner is not connected.
