AstralPool, the leader in energy efficient pumps releases the next evolution in energy efficient pumps.
Every swimming pool is different in shape, depth, location, amenity and have different demands for filtration flow rates.
The Viron eVo range of pumps incorporate infinitely variable speed control to perfectly match the filtration needs of every pool. Maximum energy savings should not be achieved at the cost of inferior filtration and sanitisation. Two or three speed pumps are limited in their adaptability to suit all swimming pool applications and circumstances. AstralPool's new range of Viron eVo Pumps enable the perfect match of flow rate and maximum energy savings to enable you to start saving and having the cleanest and safest possible water clarity.
That is why, Viron eVo Pumps are only available through professional pool shops, builders and mobile service vans who are trained in the correct installation and set up to achieve the maximum energy saving while maintaining the best possible filtration performance.
A conventional 1.5hp pump can cost around $2.50 per day to operate. That's around $900.00 a year and more than $7,000 over the life of an average pump.
The Viron eVo pumps will cost as little as 23 cents a day to operate. Over a year this means your costs are less than $100 - a saving of $800 a year or $8,000 over the life of the pump.
We don't know of any other appliance that gives such a significant return on investment.
Other benefits are the ultra low noise levels produced by the pump when correctly set up and the extended life of all other pool equipment provided by the lower flow rate of the Viron eVo pumps during normal filtration operation.
Your professional AstralPool dealer will install and set the pump speed so that you can gain the best possible water clarity and maximum energy savings.
The highlighted yellow row in the table represents the total number of litres pumped per watt of energy used. Each Viron eVo pump is tested at factory preset speeds but each speed, (low, medium and high) can be changed to suit your individual swimming pool application.
For purposes of comparison, the Viron P280 eVo has a similar flow rate on maximum speed to the AstralPool single speed CTX 280, the Viron P300 eVo on maximum speed compares closely with the BX 1.0hp, and the Viron P600 eVo on maximum speed compares closely with the BX 2.0hp single speed pump.
Total Head represents the total friction losses of both inlet pipe to the pump and return to pool plumbing, fittings and equipment. Note how the pump efficiency measured in litres per watt dramatically improves on lower speeds.
