INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a Viron Pool and Spa Heater by Astral Pool. Proper installation and service of your new heating system and correct chemical maintenance of the water will ensure years of enjoyment. The Viron Series Heater is a compact lightweight and highly efficient gas fired pool and spa heater. It is equipped with features that take advantage of new technology developed exclusively by AstralPool, to provide one of the most efficient and user friendly heaters available.
FOR YOUR SAFETY – READ BEFORE LIGHTING This appliance is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light the burner by hand. BEFORE OPERATING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS. Do not try to light any appliance. Do not touch any electrical switch. Do not use any telephone in your building.
CORROSION PREVENTION IN HEATERS All pool and spa heaters use copper or copper nickel to make their heat exchangers as it is the most efficient material in transferring heat from the combustion chamber into the water. The typical life expectancy of a well maintained pool/spa heater is between 5 and 12 years. The addition of sanitisers (Chlorine, Bromine etc) and other water balancing and conditioning chemicals can increase the rate of wear and tear on the heat exchanger and associated parts in your heater.
DISPLAY SYMBOL INDICATION Under fault conditions the thermostat will display a set of alpha numeric symbols to indicate the status of the heater. The meaning of each symbol and action to be taken are listed as follows: SYMBOL MEANING ACTION Temp Display Unit has power. No action. F0 Heater locked off, thermistor wire disconnected or water at 0C (freeze conditions). If water temperature reads greater than 0C, phone for service. F1 Thermostat reads greater than 45C.
MAINTENANCE It is recommended that you check the following at least every six months and at the beginning of every swimming season. 1. Examine the flue outlet and panel louvers for blockages. Make sure there are no obstructions to the flow of air to or from the appliance. 2. Keep the heater area clear and free of combustibles and flammable liquids. Chlorine should not be stored in the vicinity of the heater.

INDOOR FLUE INSTALLATION For indoor installations a purpose built indoor model must be used or the outdoor unit converted by an authorised person. The appliance will be labelled as an indoor model and a 125 mm flue adaptor will be fitted to the appliance. Flue for indoor units must be purchased through AstralPool and can be run up to 8m in length. Heater must be installed to AS5601. Access and suitable working areas must be available to the heater.
The flue temperature will be approximately 85 degrees C and should be kept at least 25 mm clear of any combustible surface. 4/ Joining flue sections. Supplied with the flue is a special joiner piece. To join the flues insert a bead of silicon into both ends of the joiner . Push the flue into the end of the joiner piece. Secure the flue with pop rivets. Repeat for the second flue pipe connection. 5/ Rooftop terminations. All flue exiting the roof must be shielded with the gal cover.
6/ Wall terminations. Ensure location is suitable as flue gases exit all around cowl and may blow back onto walls, eaves, features causing discolouration or mould and moisture issues. Condensation will occur around the flue exit area and condensation may drip from the flue outlet. All flues exiting the wall must be shielded with the gal cover. Extra lengths of gal can be supplied. Decktite fittings / flashings / wall exiting covers must be attached to the galvanised flue cover.
VENTILATION When installing the heater indoors, it is imperative that an adequate supply of fresh air is provided for combustion. Failure to provide adequate ventilation voids all warranties and may be a danger to persons or property. Two permanent openings shall be provided directly to outside.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION The heater is supplied with a standard 10 amp 3 pin plug for connection to a 240V 10 amp GPO. All pool or spa equipment connected to mains power should be protected by an RCD circuit breaker. GAS CONNECTION 250/350/450 models. The gas connection is on the rear of the heater. A 22mm M.I. connection is provided for gas line connection. An approved manual shut off valve must be installed in the gas fitting line before the heater. 550 models.
To adjust pressure switch: 1. Connect the heater to mains power supply and turn heater thermostat to “OFF”. 2. Turn pump on. 3. View display of heater to confirm the “θ” has appeared on the LCD display on front of heater. 4. If no symbol is present, slide toggle up to allow adjustment, then rotate knurled wheel anti clockwise (as viewed from above) until “θ” is displayed. 5. Switch off pump. 6. View LCD display to confirm “θ”has disappeared. 7.
