Inst.300 Viron EVO Pool & Spa Pump V01_12
5
INSTALLATION
This appliance must be installed by a trained pool professional service technician. When installing the appliance,
ensure all parts are installed in the correct zone in accordance with the wiring rules. In particular refer to AS/NZS
3000 (Australia) and EN 60364 (EU).
A.
Plan
position of pump so that it will be:
1. Free of water flooding, such as in a sump, garden hollow, ditch or at bottom of bank with run off.
2. On a stable base so that:
a) The pump is not left suspended by its fittings, causing a leak or failure with loss of water.
b) Movement through vibration is restricted
c) No strain is put on attaching pipe or other expensive equipment
3. Accessible
for maintenance and easily removed for service.
4. Breathing space. Pump should not be crowded which will prevent cooling airflow from fan.
Overheating
due to lack of cooling voids warranty.
5.
Within reach
of power point without extension/plugs liable to corrosion, shorting, etc.
6.
At a minimum
height of suction lift of water from pool surface to pump inlet.
B.
For best pump performance keep suction pipe length as short as possible with minimum number of bends
and use 50mm high pressure PVC suction and return pipe. All equipment such as filters, heaters,
chlorinators must have a minimum of 50mm connections.
C.
Secure the barrel unions supplied into the attaching pipe work, using approved priming fluid and solvent
cement as normal practice, coating both surfaces.
NOTE:
Always wear protective gloves when handling
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.
