@Drew80 In my case, my Pentair IntelliChlor60 and Intellichem ORP are linked to my Intellicenter automation panel. When I see ORP has gone low and stayed there for a few days or a week (say < 600mV), I just manually adjust the IntelliChlor % run time. I normally have the % run time set to...

If you want to monitor sanitation level with ORP, you will need to run at CYA levels below about 30. The main drawback would be you need to run your SWG at a higher % and accept the shorter lifespan. I previously had CYA around 45 with ORP and the sensitivity to FC levels was not very good. I...

Can you try setting the mixing time and dose limit to the lowest value possible and then just watch it dispense each dose until it reaches the dose limit? If it does it correctly, then adjust it higher and make sure it's still doing things correctly. Also, maybe you should manually set the...

I wrote about my install here: Intellichem install updates I plumb the acid feed before the SWCG because I read some where that the acid helps with reducing the amount of calcium build up in the SWCG. That's the way the plumbing is shown in the documentation for both IntelliChem and...

I have an intellichem system. It works well for measuring, dosing, and controlling pH. I never have to add acid manually and I just check the pH level any time I want instantly from my phone. In the 8 months I have had it, the pH reading has never been off from my manual reading that I do...

I've decided to use ORP as my metric and I've also decided it doesn't make sense to be controlling ORP on an hourly basis throughout the day. I plan to set the IC60 at 50% under my control, and just monitor ORP. So long as ORP is consistent at a particular time of day, I will go with ORP set...

Some pictures from the install. Couldn't post it to the original message.

I've been debating whether or not to get the Intellichem and decided to take the plunge and wanted to share some info about the install and settings - Just finished the install this weekend and I haven't had a chance to have it "take control" of my chemistry yet. Will update with that...

Turns out I needed to set the schedule to "Don't Change" on the Heat selection. Previously, I had it to "Off". I also noticed that with the new firmware, I can update the schedule on the iOS app, and it correct updates the schedule. Previously, the schedule wouldn't get updated from the iOS app.

I recently updated my Intellicenter firmware and I noticed that when I use the iOS app to turn on my heater in pool mode, I no longer have a menu to control the heat set point in the app. See attached pictures. Any setting I need to update due to the latest firmware? I can’t remember if the...
