Powerful, reliable dual-speed performance for the ultimate hot tub hydrotherapy experience

💧 Product Overview

The Vian Power VP200-II is a premium dual-speed spa pump engineered specifically for hot tub and spa applications.

Electrical Connections:

The VP200-II comes pre-fitted with a 3-metre, 4-core cable with AMP plug connector. The four wires are configured as follows:

• 2 × Phase wires (Red/Brown or Black) – one for high speed, one for low speed
• 1 × Common Neutral (Blue or White)

If your control system uses a different connector type, the cable can be replaced with your existing pump cable.

Installation Notes:

⚠️ Pump must be installed below water level (flooded suction) or primed before operation
⚠️ Never run pump dry – this causes immediate seal damage and motor overheating
⚠️ Ensure proper bonding to earth as per BS 7671 regulations
⚠️ Allow pump to reach thermal equilibrium before high-speed operation
⚠️ Check all union connections for leaks before powering on

🔧 Maintenance Guide

Routine Maintenance:

Task	Frequency	Notes
Check for leaks	Monthly	Inspect around mechanical seal and union connections
Inspect unions	Monthly	Hand-tighten if loose; do not overtighten
Clean strainer/filter	As needed	Remove debris that may restrict water flow
Check amperage draw	Annually	Should match rated values (2.4A low / 7.0A high)
Inspect motor vents	Quarterly	Keep cooling fins clear of debris and dirt
Check mounting bolts	Quarterly	Tighten if loose to prevent vibration damage
Verify water flow	Monthly	Reduced flow indicates potential blockage or wear
