Viron e-Quilibirum Series Chlorinator    

Installation Manual

4. 

Make a small 2mm breather hole in the cap to allow air 

to fill the void created by the acid. 

5. 

Connect the other end of the PVC tube to the inlet of 

the acid pump on the front of the controller.

6. 

Connect the remaining hose to the outlet of the acid 

pump on the underside of the controller. 

7. 

Thread the remaining end of the PVC hose through 

the cable gland in the 50mm PVC mixing cell fitting 

so that it passes through the cable gland by 25mm to 

30mm.

8. 

Position the injection chamber in a horizontal position 

after the Chlorinator cell on the return to pool side. 

TIP:  

Soaking the ends of the PVC tubing in hot water or 

gently heating with a lighter will make it easier to 

push onto the barb.

pH Sensor (optional, part no. 525147)

An optional pH sensor eliminates the need to regularly 

test your pH balance of your pool and spa. The sensor 

must be checked and recalibrated 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. You can adjust your ideal pH 

setting in the Settings menu.

3.4.1 

Connect the pH Sensor

The pH sensor is supplied with a sensor chamber that 

is connected into 50mm PVC pipe work using 50mm 

union tails and lock nuts. 

1. 

Install the sensor chamber vertically, where possible 

after the filter and before the chlorinator cell. 

2. 

Glue in 50mm PVC pipe into union tails. 

3. 

Remove rubber boot from pH sensor and screw into 

the sensor chamber port. 

4. 

Blank off the remaining ports in the sensor chamber 

using the caps and gaskets supplied.

3.5 

Chlorine Sensor (optional, part no. 

525145)

An optional chlorine sensor eliminates 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. A 

chlorine sensor is highly recommended for pool and 

spa combinations, spa pools and indoor pools and 

spas.

The Chlorine Sensor uses Oxidation Reduction 

Potential (ORP) readings to determine the chlorine 

level in your pool or spa water. ORP is the most 

reliable and safest way to determine the level of the 

sanitiser in your water but is affected by other factors 

influencing the efficiency of the chlorine. Water pH, 

the use of sunscreens (cyanuric acid), Hardness and 

other items can all influence the reading of the ORP

The Viron e-Quilibrium will adjust the production 

of chlorine to meet the ORP which may mean 

the chlorine level, when measured in simple PPM 

(parts per million) levels may change from time to 

time. This is normal. An example of higher chlorine 

readings when measured in ppm is if the acid runs 

out and is not replaced. In this case, the pH will start 

to increase and the effectiveness of the chlorine will 

reduce. As the chlorine effectiveness reduces the ORP 

measurement declines and the Viron e-Quilibrium will 

increase the power to the electrode cell to produce 

more chlorine. Once the pH level is corrected the Viron 

e-Quilibrium will reduce or turn off the power to the 

electrode cell as the ORP reading will rise.

Once connected, the e-Quilibirum will automatically 

detect the sensor and a factory pre-set chlorine level 

of 600 mv will be maintained.

3.5.1 

Connect the Chlorine Sensor

The chlorine sensor is provided with a 3 metre RJ12 

cable for connection to a Viron variable speed energy 

efficient pump. 

1. 

Screw the chlorine sensor into the pH sensing 

chamber connected to the bottom of the Viron 

e-Quilibrium controller. 

2. 

Install the sensor chamber vertically, where possible 

after the filter and before the chlorinator cell. 

NOTE:  The sensor chamber must have the acid dosing 

point installed away from the chlorine and pH 

sensors. Make sure the acid dosing point is after the 

chlorinator cell and the chlorine and pH sensors are 

before the chlorinator cell.

3. 

Remove rubber boot from the chlorine sensor and 

screw into the sensor chamber port (glued into 

pipework either before filter or between filter and 

Chlorinator cell). 

Section 4.  Chlorinator Setup

The Chlorinator can be controlled using the 

screen and buttons or via an App on a compatible 

smartphone or tablet using Bluetooth.

Initial set up for equipment such as variable speed 

pumps etc, needs to be performed using the 

Chlorinators screen and buttons. After initial setup, 

most other functions can be performed using either 

the Chlorinator or the App.
