– Viron e-Quilibirum Series Chlorinator Instructions V07_14 

2.0 Installation Viron Equilibrium chlorinator 

The Viron eQuilibrium Chlorinator  incorporates a controller with inbuilt acid pump, a electrode cell for converting 
minerals or salts into chlorinator, a mounting plate for the controller and tubes, weights and injection points for the 
acid which controls your pool water pH.   The intelligent software allows you to select and change your acid dosing 
ratio and intelligently adjusts the dose rate to match the output of the electrode. (the higher the output, the faster 
the pH will change and the more the controller will dose acid to compensate).   However, you MUST test your pH 
every day for the first week and adjust your acid dose rate on the controller to achieve the correct pH level. 
 

2.1 pH levels

:    

 
Generally you should aim to have your pH at 7.4 to 7.8.    The actual pH you choose for your pool will depend on 
the water quality in your area, the interior finish of your pool and the type of pool you have. 
 

2.2 Mounting the Controller

:    

 
Choose a location that is preferably out of direct sunlight, near the filter system.   The controller should be located 
1 metre above ground level to prevent rain splash back or sprinkler system damage to the underside of the 
controller.   The controller must be mounted on a vertical surface/wall.   If mounted on a post, a flat sheet 20mm 
larger than the controller housing must be used. 

 

a.  Mount the wall bracket using the screws provided on a secure wall. 
b.  Glue mixing cell for probe and acid injection point into plumbing line after filter and gas heater (if installed) 

but prior to chlorinator cell. 

Mixing cell must be plumbed to ensure probe is horizontal to water flow.

 

c.  Glue Chlorinator cell into line as per drawing below after filter, heater, solar (if installed) and after sensor T 

price. 

d. 

Plug the pH sensor into the underside of the controller in the location marked “pH” 

e.  Plug filter pump 3 pin plug into underside of Controller 
f. 

Connect 4 wire cell cable ensuring matching colours. 

g.  Remove cap from pH sensor and screw firmly into mixing cell installed in the plumbing.   Do Not 

Overtighten. 

h.  The cell 

must

 be installed with the barrel unions underneath and the cell should be horizontal.  Both 

40mm and 50mm fittings have been provide

d.  Make sure that the o’rings are correctly fitted and the 

unions are done up tightly. Flow direction through the cell is critical 

– refer to label on housing. 

i. 

Hang Controller on wall bracket and plug power supply lead into 3 pin 10 amp outlet. 
 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

NEVER MIX CHEMICALS 

 

CHEMICALS MUST BE STORED IN ACCORDANCE WITH RELEVANT STANDARDS AND 
DANGEROUS GOODS CODES. CONSULT YOUR AUTHORISED BUILDER OR POOL SHOP 
TECHNICIAN FOR ADVICE. 

 

WHEN HANDLING ACID, SAFETY GLOVES AND GOGGLES SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED 

 

FOR BEST RESULTS, USE OF NEAT ACID IS RECOMMENDED
