Viron e-Quilibirum Series Chlorinator
Installation Manual
When chlorine is low, Ai mode will change the Viron
Pump (if installed and connected) to High Speed. The
high speed can be adjusted up or down in the set up
and commissioning stage.
High speed operation and high chlorine output
will continue until the chlorine reading is near the
set point. Once the chlorine level nears set point,
Ai mode will turn the pump speed back to medium
and reduce the output on the chlorinator to prevent
“overshooting” of chlorine levels.
When the chlorine level is satisfied and the pump has
operated long enough to complete the pool water
turnover inputted into the Chlorinator set up menu
(factory pre-set at 1.5 turns), the chlorinator will turn
the pump down to low speed, stop producing chlorine
and dosing acid, but continue to sample the chlorine
level. Low speed should be adjusted to approximately
600 to 800 RPM during set up.
If the chlorine level drops significantly while in Ai
mode, the eQ will turn the pump back to medium
speed (from low speed) or to high speed (from
medium speed). At the same time, the chlorine output
will automatically be adjusted. The goal is to produce
chlorine as quickly as possible and vigorously circulate
chlorinated water to all parts of the swimming pool.
You will notice a difference in the operating hours,
pump speed and chlorinator output between winter
and summer as the unit adjusts to weather and
environmental conditions.
9.6.1
Extended Hours and High Speed Pump
Operation
Should Ai mode keep your pump in high speed for
most of the day perform the following checks:
1.
Manually test the water (from in front of skimmer or
inlet to the circulating pump) for the chlorine level.
If the chlorine level is high (above 3ppm) turn the
chlorine setting on the chlorinator down. (Refer to
section 10.1)
2.
If the chlorine level is low and stays low throughout
the day, try extending the operating hours of the
Chlorinator into the morning or late at night. Chlorine
produced at night will stay in the water for longer and
build up a residual which may be enough to counter
the effects of strong sunlight and bather load on hot
days.
3.
Check the salt or mineral level in your pool water.
Higher levels (do not exceed 6000 ppm) of salt/
minerals will enable higher chlorine production.
After these checks, if the pump stills runs on high
speed for most of the day, you can sacrifice circulation
by reducing the high speed setting on the pump
