Frequently Asked Questions

What is the energy rating of the Astral P520C XT?

The Astral P520C XT has a 6 Star energy rating, making it one of the most efficient pool pumps available. The variable-speed DC motor allows you to reduce electricity usage by adjusting flow rates to suit each application.

What size pool is the P520C XT suitable for?

The P520C XT is designed for large pools or applications where high water flow is required, such as large waterfalls. For smaller pools, consider the P320XT model.

How does variable speed control save energy?

Variable speed control reduces electricity usage by slowing down water flow rates for each pool application. Speeds are set to suit pool filters, plumbing, and specific needs, meaning the pump only uses the energy required for each task.

Is the P520C XT compatible with robotic pool cleaners?

Yes. Energy-efficient pumps work well with robotic pool cleaners as there is no pressure on the pool filtration system, so there is no need to run the pool pump at high speed.

Does this pump need to be installed professionally?

Yes. Astral Viron equipment must be sold with an installation. Please contact us so we can assist you through this process.

What warranty is included?

For purchases since 1 October 2020, the pump comes with a 3-year warranty (except seals) and a 2-year warranty on the mechanical seal.

How loud is the P520C XT?

The P520C XT features whisper-quiet operation thanks to its variable speed control, which allows the pump to run at lower speeds when full flow is not required.
