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*an d *cham ber*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.*
*
4. If*som e*f lo w *of*water*does *n o t *es ta b lis h *within*one*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*flo w*through*pu mp*is*always *te d io u s *to *o b t a in *a t*s ta rt ^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*po t*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*th e *r ec o mmended*s e tt in g *fo r *everyday *filtration*of*your*pool*when*a*cleaner*is*not*connected.*
*
7. The*Viron*EVO*will*automatically*start*on*High*for*the*first*5*minut es*to *ass ist*in*priming*and*substantially*fill*the*
hair*and*lint*pot*with*water.****After*5*minutes*the*pump*will*revert*to*the*last*speed*it*was*set*at*before*it*was*
turned*off.*
*
8. During*normal*operation,*it*is*recommended*that*the*pump*be*operated*on*Low*for*12*hours*per*da y.* This*will*
achieve*the*lowest*operating*costs*with*the*lowest*noise*level.***Should*your*pool*have*areas*where*water*is*not*
turning*over*when*pu m p*is*on*Low,*in c re as e *th e *sp e e d*s e ttin g .*

Hours!of!Operation!
*
On*low*speed*your*Viron*pump*makes*very*little*noise*and*is*unlikely*to*be*intrusive*to*you*or*your*neighbours.**Generally,*
your*pool*filter*pump*should*operate*for*a*minimum*of*8*hours*a*day*to*provide*sufficient*skimming*(thereby*reducing*the*
amount*of*debris*that*falls*to*the*bottom*of*the*pool)*and*to*allow*the*chlorinator*to*provide*sufficient*chlorine*to*sanitise*
your*pool.*
