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.
CHEMICAL BALANCE It is imperative that correct chemical balance be maintained in your pool and spa water, otherwise corrosion of your heater may occur. Corrosion of the heat exchanger voids warranty. Your local pool shop specialist or spa retailer can advise correct chemical balance. Your water should be checked and maintained regularly by a pool water professional.
If you have a salt chlorinated INDOOR pool or COVERED pool be very careful of the level of Chlorine being produced. If you use a salt chlorinated spa be very careful of the level of Chlorine as the Chlorinator is usually sized for the pool and therefore should be switched off when heating the spa.
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.
