AstralPool – Verdon VS 100 Variable-Speed Pool Pump – 0.75 kW

The Verdon VS 100 is a self-priming variable-speed pool pump with a 0.75 kW motor, D50 mm connections and IPX5 motor protection. It offers three speed settings at 50, 75 and 100 %.

How the Verdon VS works

Verdon VS is a range of self-priming pumps with a built-in frequency inverter. The pump is designed for pre-filtering and recirculating swimming pool water, and its speed can be matched to the needs of each pool.

Running at a lower speed when full flow is not needed keeps power consumption down. The pump is also up to 12 dB(A) quieter than a standard filter pump, so it is less intrusive around the pool.

Control and connectivity

The pump has an LCD control screen for set-up and day-to-day control. Low, medium and high speed settings can be selected in manual mode for continuous running at a fixed speed.

In auto mode, the pump follows programmed schedules that run it at different speeds and times of day. A companion mobile app lets you control the pump from your phone, and a Wi-Fi symbol on the display shows when it is connected.

• Manual mode: continuous operation at a fixed speed
• Auto mode: scheduled running at different speeds
• Priming speed and priming time can be adjusted in the settings

Installation

Installation and electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified installer. The pump must be earthed and connected to a supply protected by a residual current device, with a disconnector fitted to the fixed electrical installation. Always switch off and disconnect the power before working on the pump.

Unions are supplied on both the suction and discharge ports. Keep the suction pipe as short as possible and use as few fittings as you can. If the pump is below the water level, fit isolation valves on the suction and return lines; a check valve is also recommended. The pump must not be installed in the restricted pool zones set out in local regulations, and should be protected from direct water from sprinklers or roof run-off.

The pump will not start on mains power alone. It needs a digital command from a variable-speed controller, an automation system or the dry contacts, so ask your installer to confirm the set-up.

Use and maintenance

The pump is designed for clean water at an operating temperature of 2 to 35°C and a maximum salt level of 6 g/L (6000 ppm). Never run it without water. Before starting, prime the pump as described in the manual, depending on whether it sits above or below the water level.

Debris is collected in a strainer basket inside the pump, under the lid. Leave enough clearance above the pump to remove the basket, check the lid O-ring seat for debris before refitting, and tighten the lid by hand only. If the pump develops a fault, do not attempt to repair it yourself; contact a qualified service engineer. Use only spare parts and accessories authorised by the manufacturer.
