It is said that all life evolved from the sea and that salt water makes up 70% of our bodies, so it’s little wonder we find salt pools the most natural medium to swim in
A NEW BENCHMARK
AstralPool’s new Viron Salt Chlorinator brings a new benchmark in efficiency, control, convenience and reliability. To be accurate, salt or minerals don’t sanitise the pool, chlorine does. Salt or minerals, when dissolved into your pool water are converted by the Viron Salt Chlorinator into chlorine which sanitises your pool. The salts or minerals, in roughly the same solution as a tear drop, pass through the electrolytic plates in the Viron chlorinator cell to form chlorine which kills all the contaminants within the pool and prevents bacteria and algae from forming. What a nice solution – particularly when some of these minerals and salts can be so good for the health of your family just by being in your pool water. The result is pure, crystal clear, soft feeling water and happy, healthy swimmers.
EFFICIENCY
The Viron Salt Chlorinator’s advanced electronic power supply provides pure DC power to maximize the efficiency of the electrodes to produce the highest level of
chlorine for the lowest power consumption, reducing your energy costs and keeping your pool safe and healthy.
EASY CHLORINE DOSING
Manual dosing with liquid or granular chlorine can be haphazard. Over-dosing can cause eye irritation, itchy skin and a strong chlorine odour. The Viron Salt Chlorinator continually generates chlorine at the level you require. Set and forget.
CONVENIENCE
The easy to use touch pad enables complete control of your pump and sanitiser system. While easy to use, it’s packed full of features making your swimming pool a pleasure to own and use. Chlorine output, Pool or Spa selection, filter cleaning, time of operation, and additional run times are all selected and information is provided on the large liquid crystal display. The inbuilt time clock can be simply disabled if using an external timer to control filtration and chlorinating hours.
INTELLIGENT SELF CLEANING
During operation, the anode in the electrolytic cell attracts a build up of calcium and other debris which requires periodic cleaning. Most chlorinators reverse the
polarity to the cell, which in turn releases the residue of calcium and debris on the anode. The intelligent Viron chlorinator analyses the output setting to optimise the polarity of the electrolytic cell. By minimising the number of reversals ensures the cell is clean and significantly extends the life of your chlorinator.
POOL OR SPA SELECTION
When isolating your spa from the swimming pool, demand for sanitiser is greatly reduced. It’s simple really, while spa water is warm and requires sanitiser to kill and prevent the growth of bacteria and algae, its comparatively small volume means it only needs a fraction of the sanitiser that your pool requires. One touch of the “Spa” button on the Viron chlorinator and your sanitiser output is automatically reduced to suit the demands of your spa. Why is this important? Excessive sanitiser is unpleasant, causing itching skin, bleached swimwear and damaging heaters, pumps and interior finishes in your spa or pool. Just another way the Viron Chlorinator looks after your family.
FILTER BACKWASH TIMING
Sand Filters require regular backwashing to release the entrapped dirt and debris. The Viron Chlorinator has a very smart function that operates the pump for one, two or three minutes, ensuring your filter is backwashed for the correct period and turns off the electrolytic cell, preventing excessive build up of sanitiser and by-products during the backwash process. This feature also ensures that the pump cannot accidently be left running and empty the pool, requiring expensive top-up water.
EXTENDED OPERATION
Use the menu function to select extended operation and your Viron Chlorinator will automatically extend its operating hours to allow for additional filtration and sanitation during hot weather and heavy bather load periods. At an automatically determined time, the Viron will then revert to normal time clock operating hours saving you the inconvenience of manually changing operating modes.
BUILT FOR AUSTRALIA
Australia has some of the most extreme weather conditions in the world for pool equipment. Unlike many parts of the world, our larger blocks of land allow pool
equipment to be installed outside, exposed to the elements, extreme heat, torrential rain and infestation by small insects and animals. So the Viron Chlorinator has been designed with fine mesh screens and a long life cooling fan to help seal and cool critical electronic components. Even the LCD display is specially constructed to withstand high temperature and UV radiation in the harsh Australian environment.
MINERAL SALTS
The Viron Chlorinator is suitable for use with pool salt or AstralPool’s unique AcquaTherepe Minerals which give the pool water a softer feel and help prevent
staining and calcification.
ASTRALPOOL INTEGRATION
The Viron Chlorinator can be integrated with the AstralPool Viron Connect Pool and Spa Automation System. You’ve heard of home automation? When installed with the (optional) Viron Connect you gain total control of all your pool equipment, chlorinator, heater, spa jets, waterfalls and pool lighting from inside your home.
Program your favourite setting into the Viron Connect to make pool and spa ownership easy and pleasurable for the whole family.
