CONDENSATE DRAIN
The Viron heater is a highly efficient gas appliance capable of generating 12 litres an hour of condensation.
Suitable drainage provision must be provided to ensure condensation does not build up in the heater or flood
damage surrounding areas. Do not raise the drain hose higher than the exit point of the appliance.
Alternatively, the condensate can be used to replenish or “top up” your pool water. A condensate recovery kit can
be purchased from your local Astral Pool equipment supplier.
The condensate has a pH of approximately 6.8. Most chlorines and sanitisers used for pool water disinfection will
increase the pool water pH over a period of time, so an additional advantage of the condensate produced by your
Viron Heater is that the low pH will counter balance the high pH of the disinfectant used in most pools.
IMPORTANT: Chlorines, disinfectants and sanitisers usually require a narrow bank of pH in which to work
effectively. Ensure you check the pH of your pool or spa weekly, and adjust as necessary.
ELECTRONIC FLOW RESPONSE
The Viron heater is capable of being linked to the AstralPool series of Viron multispeed pumps via RJ12 cabling
(not supplied). By taking advantage of this connection, you can ensure your heater will operate at peak
performance and last for many years.
Connection to the Viron heater is via the RJ12 socket located inside the access panel where the water connections
are made to the heater. Connections for the pump are made through the rear of the electrical box.
In connecting your Viron Pool and Spa heater to your Viron multispeed pump, the two appliances will communicate
to adjust speeds on the pump based on the demands of the heater.
• If the heater is in the ON position pump will operate at a minimum of “Medium” speed
• If the heater is operating (burner symbol on screen) the pump will operate on “High” speed
• When the heater shuts off the pump will return to the default speed set on the pump
If you require assistance with this connection, please contact your local AstralPool Australia branch for further
advice.
