5.1 Adjusting Chlorine Output
Press the
SET
button to change the chlorine output and the pH of your Pool
Press YES to change the output
Use the up and down buttons to change the Set Point between 0 and 8. 0 chlorine output should only be used when there
is no salt in the water. In summer, the chlorine should be set between 6 and 8 and you should regularly check your chlorine
level in your swimming pool to determine if the output should be increased or decreased. Rely on your pool professional for
advice on the recommended chlorine level in your pool.
As a guide the free chlorine level should be between 1.0 ppm and 3.0 ppm.
5.2 Adjusting pH Set Point
Continue through the
SET
menu to change the pH balance of your pool.
As a guide the pH in your pool should be set between 7.4and 7.8. This will be determined by the type of pool you have,
(Concrete, Fibreglass, Vinyl Liner) and you should rely on your pool builder or pool professional to recommend the correct
pH Set Point. Use the up and down arrows to set your pH value.
5.3 Acid dosing without sensors.
Your basic Viron e-Quilibrium is supplied without any pH or Chlorine sensors. (These sensors must be ordered separately).
In th
e “as supplied”
format, you can determine the dosing rate of the acid by selecting 1 to 10 in the pH set screen. The
unit will also intelligently adjust the dosing level according to the chlorine production (the higher the chlorine production,
the faster the pH change and the more acid required). However, you MUST check your pH balance in the pool each day for
the first week of operation and adjust the pH setting on your chlorinator until it settles at the desired pH level. Once the
desired pH level is achieved, continue to manually test your pH every week and adjust the pH setting as required.
Installation of the acid dosing tube
–
to be installed after the chlorinator cell on the return to the pool pipe.
Once the pH value is set your LCD screen will return to the operating information screen which will cycle through the
current status of the chlorinator and the chlorine output setting (between 0 and 8).
