OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Phileo VP & Phileo POD VP v1.0EN
3.1. Bluetooth® and Wifi control
The Phileo VP & Phileo POD VP control box has an embedded Bluetooth® and Wifi transmitter used to control your ap-
pliance from a smartphone or tablet. To be able to control the Phileo VP & Phileo POD VP, you need an iOs (Apple®) or
Android smartphone or tablet running Bluetooth® Low Energy (v4.x) or Wifi 802.11 b/n/g. Other operating systems (Windows
Phone®,...) or devices not running the above-mentioned pre-requisites are not supported.
For a Wifi connection, the local Wifi details (SSID and password) need to be entered and a Vigipool account created to connect
your Phileo VP & Phileo POD VP to the Wifi router and control the Phileo VP & Phileo POD VP using local Wifi and
remotely (see "Vigipool Universe" leaflet).
3.2. iOs / Android applications
Android download App Store download
You can also search for Phileo VP using the App Store and Play Store search engines
With Bluetooth, only one phone/tablet can be connected to the box at a time. To connect with
another device, you must first disconnect.
To enable the Bluetooth pairing, bring the phone/tablet up to the unit's contact when requested
by the app, or press the button on the device.
It is possible to automatically update the software embedded in the device. To do this, it must
be connected to WiFi or to another Vigipool device that is itself connected to WiFi. If you only
use the device via Bluetooth, it is possible to create an access point from your phone in order to
temporarily connect the device and update its software if necessary.
3.3. pH regulation
The pH, or potential Hydrogen, is a highly important parameter for water treatment. It has a strong influence on the efficiency
of disinfectants. The pH, or potential Hydrogen, measures the acidity of the water. Its value is between 0 and 14. A solution
with a pH of 7 is neutral. If the pH is below 7 the solution is acid and if it is above the solution is called basic or alkaline.
For the comfort of bathers, effective treatment and reliability of the installation, the swimming pool water pH must be kept at
about 7. A pH of between 6.8 and 7.8 is generally considered to be correct. Water which is too acid (pH < 6.8) is aggressive
to the mucous membranes, causes metal parts to corrode and may damage plastics (liners). Water which is too alkaline (pH >
7.8) may also be aggressive (caustic) and considerably reduce the effectiveness of the chlorine.
Users can configure the Phileo VP & Phileo POD VP for pH- mode or pH+ mode. In pH- mode, the Phileo VP & Phileo
POD VP injects PHminus to lower the pool pH and in pH+ mode, it injects PH plus to raise the pool pH.
In order to avoid possible measurement errors, it is recommended to check the sensor calibration once per month. To do this,
just follow the instructions in the CALIBRATION section.
The disinfectants and pH correctors used for pools can have an adverse effect on health and
the environment.
These chemicals must be handled with care and stored in an adapted location.

4. Installing the Phileo VP & Phileo POD VP
4.1. Wall mounting
For safety reasons, and in accordance with the French NF C15-100 standard, the Phileo VP &
Phileo POD VP control box must be installed
• either at over 3.50 m from the pool edge. This distance takes into account the distance around
obstacles. If the Phileo VP & Phileo POD VP control box is installed behind a wall, the dis-
tance will include the length of the path taken to move around the wall to reach the box.
• or in an in-ground space in the immediate vicinity of the swimming pool. In this case the
space must be accessible via a hatch which requires a tool to open it.
The automatic controller Phileo VP
• should not be installed outdoors, it should be protected from rain, cleaning or watering jets, and UV radiation (sun).
• resistant to water splashes but should not be placed in a flood risk area.
• must be placed on a safe and stable surface and fixed to the wall using the wall support and the supplied plugs and screws:
4.2. Hydraulic connection
The Phileo VP model is shipped with 3 pipe saddles to install the accessories required to properly run pH regulation.
To make installation easier, the Phileo POD VP model is shipped with the ZeliaPod measuring and injection chamber. This
measuring chamber makes it possible to limit the number of drill holes in the piping and to centralise data.
4.2.1. Injector installation - Phileo VP model
The injector is used to inject the swimming pool with the required amount of product. It is imperative that the injector be
placed after the sensors (pH and RedOx) and as close as possible to the backflow into the pool.
TEFLON must be used to screw the injector to the ½" pipe saddle.
The tube is positioned on the injector by screwing the upper injector nut.
4.2.2. Flow detector installation - Phileo VP model
The detector is mounted on a ¾" pipe saddle. After having installed the pipe saddle, and making sure no protrusions (on the
pipe drilling) can block the movement of the detector, screw the ¾" nipple to the saddle using Teflon, then gently screw the
detector to the other end of the nipple. Whether the flow detector is installed vertically or horizontally, the arrow engraved
on the detector must point in the water flow direction.
4.2.2.1. Sensor installation - Phileo VP model
The sensor is installed on the 50mm backflow piping with 1/2" threading using a pipe saddle into which the sensor holder
is screwed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Phileo VP & Phileo POD VP v1.0EN
4.2.3. ZeliaPod hydraulic installation - POD VP model only
ZeliaPod installs on a diameter 50mm pipe using the supplied union fittings. It is installed downstream of filtration (after the
filter) and must be placed horizontally on a section of pipe that is always pressurised relative to the pool water level, this is to
make sure that there is always water in the Zelia Pod and that the sensors are always in water.
Prefer using a by-pass (mandatory in excess of 15m3/hour) so that the flow can be controlled, and to be able to remove it
without stopping filtering.
During installation and use, make sure the Zelia Pod is pressurised relative to the pool water
level, to make sure it is always full of water and free of air. If this were not the case and air is
present inside the measurement chamber, the sensor readings may not be correct.
When installing, fit the sensors by pushing them gently all the way into their housing, lift 3-4
mm and tighten the sensor holder nut.

4.2.4. Installation diagram without Zelia Pod - VP Model
The flow detector (D) is placed on the same section of pipe as the other supplied elements. The pH sensor (B) must be placed
after the filter at a minimum distance of 60 cm from any other measuring appliances, and as far away as possible from the pH
injector (E), installed downstream and placed as close as possible to the pool backflow.
4.2.5. Accessory position
Use the photo below to see where to position the different elements. To screw in the injector (E or F), use the provided flat seal
to make the assembly watertight. The use of Teflon tape on the sensor holder (B or C) threading is recommended.

4.3. Connecting the sensor and flow detector
1. Power supply cable
2. pH sensor
3. Flow detector
4. Dosing pump
4.4. Connection to electricity
Installation of this project involves a hazard of electric shocks. We strongly recommend you
contract a professional installer. Incorrect installation puts you in danger and may irreversibly
damage the product and the equipment connected to it.
The box is shipped with a power supply cable that can be connected to the mains in the technical room using a standard plug
and socket (230V / 50 Hz). This socket must be protected by a 30mA ground fault circuit breaker in compliance with
the NF C15-100 standard.
The appliance is fitted with a flow detector and must not be installed on a power supply line
that is coupled to the filtering. This could cause the appliance to malfunction.
5. Operation
Phileo VP & Phileo POD VP can be configured using the pump interface or from the smartphone app available for iOS and
Android. We encourage you to use the app which provides access to additional parameters, in particular for calibration.
5.1. Control interface
The interface is composed of a selection button (A), of 5 green light indicators (B) and a multi-colour LED (C) installed behind
the dosing pump.
5.2. Configuration
5.2.1. Powering up
The system is switched on using the luminous switch on the side of the automatic regulator.
When it is powered on, the light indicators on the front flash for several seconds until the appliance has started up.
(Start-up phase: flickering in the dark green indicators (B) and then different colours of the multi-colour LED (C))
