    9.0 Fault Indication and trouble shooting ....................... 25 9.1 Regular Maintenance ………………………………………………………………………………………………………..………………………….26 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Viron series Salt Chlorinator. The correct pH balance of your pool water significantly increases the effectiveness of the chlorine in the water and if not maintained at the correct level, can cause harm to the interior finish of your swimming pool or spa and reduce the disinfection time of the chlorine.
  • Page 6: Installation Viron E-Quilibrium Chlorinator

    2.0 Installation Viron e-Quilibrium chlorinator The Viron e-Quilibrium Chlorinator incorporates a controller with inbuilt acid pump, an electrode cell for converting minerals or salts into chlorine, a mounting plate for the controller and tubes, weights and injection points for the acid which controls your pool water pH.
  • Page 7: Connecting The Pvc Acid Tube

    2.3 Connecting the PVC Acid Tube PLACEMENT OF CHEMICALS, EQ CONNECTIONS. Placement of Chemicals ***Chemicals MUST be stored apart in accordance with Relevant Standards and Dangerous Goods Codes. Consult your authorized builder or pool shop technician for advice. Chemicals must be at least 1 metre horizontally from control unit in a well ventilated area to avoid corrosive damage.
  • Page 8 Before installing the unit in position on the wall or post, the length of the PVC tubing provided should be measured and taken into consideration. Ensure the controller and cell are close enough for the power supply lead to reach the cell and sufficient PVC tube exists to connect acid container and cell.
  • Page 9: Starting Your Chlorinator

    3.0 Starting your Chlorinator Your Chlorinator can be controlled using the Chlorinator screen & buttons, or by using an App on a compatible smartphone or tablet using Bluetooth. Initial Installation, to set up variable speed pumps etc, needs to be performed using the Chlorinators screen & buttons, but most other functions can be performed using either the Chlorinator or the App.
  • Page 10 DOSE will allow you to override the time clock and allow the following: a. Sanitise until the first timer tomorrow morning. This allows for additional circulation of the swimming pool water after treatment or cleaning. Can be used to provide a shock dose of chlorine production. b.
  • Page 11: Installing And Using Bluetooth

    3.2 Installing and using Bluetooth From MAINT press NEXT and INSTALL will be shown, press NEXT, Select INSTALL and ACCEPT the current Language. INSTALL CHLORINATOR will be shown, press NEXT and INSTALL BLUETOOTH will be shown. Press ACCEPT and the 4 digit BLUETOOTH ACCESS CODE will be shown. This code needs to be retained and entered into the ChlorinatorGo App.
  • Page 12: Set Up And Control Using Chlorinator Buttons

    You can then select the LIGHTS page (if a compatible Connect LITE or Connect LITE+ is installed) or select the TIMERS page (if Timers Enabled” was selected during Installation) The Chlorine set point and other Maintenance tasks can be selected from the SETTINGS page 3.3 Set up and control using the Chlorinator buttons a.
  • Page 13: Setting Timers

    3.4 Setting Timers Your Viron chlorinator has 4 timers per day enabling you to set different periods in which your filtration pump, pH control and chlorine production will operate. Control of Lighting is also possible within these timers if Lighting has been Enabled in the INSTALL menu.
  • Page 14: Calibration Of Ph Sensor/Probe

    4.0 Calibration of pH Sensor/Probe From time to time, the pH sensor will require cleaning and calibration. Typically, calibration should take place one every 6 to 12 months. To Calibrate, Press MAINT and next until CAL appears on the LCD. Select CAL to commence the process. MAINTENANCE MODE Timer SELECT FUNCTION?
  • Page 15: Adjusting Chlorine Output

    5.1 Adjusting Chlorine Output Press the SET button to change the chlorine output and the pH of your Pool Timer CHANGE CHLORINE SET POINT Clock Press YES to change the output SET POINT Timer Clock ACCEPT 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.
  • Page 16: Installation Of The Ph Sensor

    5.4 Installation of the pH sensor The optional pH sensor eliminates the need to regularly test your pH balance of your pool and spa. The sensor will require checking and recalibrating approximately once every 6 months. When installed and connected the Viron e-Quilibrium will automatically detect the pH sensor and the factory pH setpoint is 7.6.
  • Page 17: Installation Of The Chlorine Sensor

    5.5 Installation of the Chlorine Sensor If you have chosen to have the pH sensor installed, you can now choose to have the chlorine sensor installed. The chlorine sensor takes away the need to test the chlorine level in your pool and allows the Viron e-Quilibrium to automatically control the chlorine and pH levels of your pool and spa water.
  • Page 18: General Operation/Pool Chemistry

    DISPLAY ACTUAL ORP VALUE ACCEPT The default value is No, so that during operation the screen will only display “Chlorine OK, Chlorine High or Chlorine Low”. Use the arrows up or down to change the default to “YES” and the screen will then display actual ORP levels. ORP readings will vary when the filter pump is off and will also vary if Cyanuric Acid is present in the water.

    6.8 Acid Pump squeeze tube: Acid pump squeeze tube must be lubricated every 6 months or more often in commercial applications. Use only the recommended lubricant RC Tube Lube available from AstralPool or any other compatible silicone lubricant, otherwise damage to the tube is possible. Depending upon usage, the squeeze tube may need replacement after 12months on a domestic installation, and earlier on a commercial installation.

    7.4 Viron eVo Pump speed selection: • Enable System mode in the Viron Pump menu – refer to Viron Pump Instructions • Set Pump speeds as follows: Once the RJ12 Cable has connected the pump and eQ Chlorinator, change the chlorinator mode to “Manual On”...
  • Page 21: Effects Of Ai Mode

    7.6 Effects of Ai Mode Ai Mode will automatically adjust operating times, pump speed (when Viron variable speed pumps are installed) and chlorinator output to suit the weather conditions and bather load. Priority one is to produce sufficient chlorine to make the pool clean, healthy and ideal to swim in. Priority two once the pool is clean is to reduce operating costs by automatically reducing the pump speed.
  • Page 22: Important Information About Chlorine Sensing By The E-Quilibrium

    8.0 Important Information about Chlorine Sensing by the e-Quilibrium The Viron e-Quilibrium uses an ORP sensor to measure and control the chlorine levels in your swimming pool or spa. Before installing probes, balance pool water. Total Alkalinity (TA) must be 80 to 120 ppm, Calcium Hardness should be 180 to 250 ppm, and pH must be between 7.2 and 7.6.
  • Page 23 CyA bonds to chlorine more effectively in sunlight hours. Therefore, ORP readings will be lower in sunlight hours than at night. As the chlorine bonds with CyA during sunlight hours, the ORP may drop more than 100 mv. This means the e-Q chlorinator will drive higher levels of chlorine during sunlight hours as the chlorine is temporarily bonded with CyA.
  • Page 24 At most, CyA should be managed and kept within a range of 10 to 20 ppm when used in conjunction with the e-Q chlorinator installed with the Chlorine Sensor. Ongoing use of Trichlor or Dichlor will continue to raise the level of CyA causing a reduction in the activity of the chlorine and may cause your e-Q Chlorinator to continue to raise the chlorine levels to excessive levels in order to reach the chlorine set point (ORP).
