Where this product fits
A traditional chlorinator format that still suits a lot of real pool equipment pads.
VX is useful when the customer wants a robust standalone chlorinator with enough output choice for larger residential pools, but does not need Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi, automatic pH dosing or a broader automation platform.
AstralPool describes VX as designed and manufactured in Australia for Australian conditions.
More scheduling flexibility than the simpler E‑Series platform.
Touch-pad output control and spa functions make it useful on straightforward pool/spa systems.
Model range
Choose output after the pool and system are understood.
These figures are useful for comparison, but the final recommendation should still account for climate, pool use, operating time and how the chlorinator interacts with the filtration equipment.
| Model | Output | Temperate pool volume | Tropical pool volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| VX 7T | 25g/hr | 96,000L | 50,000L |
| VX 9T | 30g/hr | 120,000L | 75,000L |
| VX 11T | 42g/hr | 160,000L | 100,000L |
AstralPool publishes 3000–8000ppm salt operation with 4000ppm recommended. The pool-volume figures are manufacturer guidance and assume suitable operating time and water conditions.
Installation & system matching
VX is simple to use, but the replacement still needs proper hydraulic and electrical matching.
We check the current pump load, cell position, plumbing, existing time-clock requirements and the output the pool actually needs. If the customer wants app control or future automation, Viron, EQ or Halo may be a better long-term choice.
01Pump currentConfirm the connected filtration pump suits the controller limits.
02Cell plumbingCheck unions, available pipe and service clearance.
03Timer useDetermine whether four timer periods are useful or another platform is preferable.
04Future upgradeAvoid buying a standalone controller now if automation is likely soon.
Warranty & product support
