3.1 

Controller Location

The controller should be located at or near the 

equipment pad, at least 3.5 metres or more away 

from the inside wall of the pool/spa, 1.5 metres off the 

ground, and within 2 meters of the cell. All national, 

state, and local codes are applicable.

Overview

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,  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.

2.1.1 

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.
