USE WITH SUCTION CLEANERS
When connecting a suction cleaner to the Viron EVO pump, it essential that full prime is achieved on the pump
prior to connecting the cleaner hose. During operation at low speeds, the pump may only operate with partial
prime in the hair and lint pot chamber.
To operate a suction cleaner on your pump:
1. Choose the speed button (low, medium or high) on which the pump will operate when the suction cleaner
is connected.
2. Allow pump to operate for a minimum of 2 minutes to allow a full prime to be achieved.
3. Connect cleaner plate and hose to skimmer/wall suction only after all air has been purged from the top of
the hair and lint pot of your Viron Pump.
4. Adjust speed (with increase or decrease buttons) at which the cleaner will travel to all areas of the pool.
Factory set medium speed will usually operate all suction cleaner types in most pools. If using the Low
Speed setting, it will usually be necessary to increase the low speed to ensure the suction cleaner operates
reliably.
5. When cleaner is no longer required, disconnect and remove hose/cleaner plate from system. Select the
lowest filtration speed that keeps your pool clean.
6. If replacing or selecting a new cleaner, AstralPool recommend a Aquatron Robot Cleaner which operates
independently from the filter pump and allows the pump to operate at a speed which offers the maximum
energy (and cost) savings.
USE WITH ASTRALPOOL GAS HEATERS
Gas heaters (and electric heat pumps) generally rely on a water pressure switch to activate the heater control
circuit. When a variable speed pump operates on low speed the water pressure produced in generally
insufficient to activate the pressure switch and control circuit within the heater.
