Speed settings run from 600 RPM up to 3600\n    RPM, so the pump can run gently for everyday filtration and step up on demand for vacuuming,\n    filter cleaning, spa jets or in-floor cleaning systems. Available in two sizes — the P320 XT\n    for most residential pools, and the P520 XT for larger pools or higher-demand setups.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFully variable speed control from 600 RPM to 3600 RPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThree factory-preset programmed speeds, adjustable via simple up\/down buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFast Prime mode and Overdrive mode for energy-efficient priming and peak-demand running\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBluetooth® connectivity for easy setup and pairing with a Viron Equilibrium chlorinator\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWhisper-quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDesigned and manufactured in Australia for local conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eClimate Care Certified by SPASA Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMEPS compliant — P320 XT rated 6 stars, P520 XT rated 4.5 stars\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003ctable class=\"dips-spec-table\"\u003e\n    \u003cthead\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eP320 XT\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eP520 XT\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/thead\u003e\n    \u003ctbody\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInput Power\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,250W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,800W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFull Load Amps\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax Flow Rate @ 8m head\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e303 L\/min\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e580 L\/min\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEnergy Consumption\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e514 kWh\/yr\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e734 kWh\/yr\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStar Rating (MEPS)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 stars\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5 stars\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVoltage \/ Phase\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e240V, Single Phase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpeed Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e600–3600 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConnectivity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eBluetooth®\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of Manufacture\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eAustralia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Variable Speed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Most of the time, effective pool filtration only needs a gentle flow of around 120–200 litres\n    a minute — running a single-speed pump at full power around the clock wastes energy. The Viron\n    XT lets you run low for everyday filtration and circulation, then ramp up only when you\n    actually need the extra flow, for tasks like vacuuming or backwashing. According to Astral,\n    switching from a conventional single-speed pump to a Viron XT can reduce energy consumption by\n    up to 90% and save between $700 and $1,200 a year in running costs, though actual savings will\n    depend on your pool size, pump runtime and local electricity rates.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhich Size Do I Need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The P320 XT suits most residential pool filtration setups.
