1.0 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.
The purpose of the Viron series chlorinators is to significantly reduce the level of daily and weekly maintenance
required to keep you pool and spa sparkling clean and healthy to swim in.
These installation and operating instructions will guide you through installation, operation and maintenance of your
new chlorinator. Regular maintenance will ensure many years of trouble free operation.
