    Intellichem without SWG control?

    My experiences match yours. Intellichem is accurate and precise for pH control, and works very well for that. The ORP measurements vary widely and don't seem to line up with the FC levels in the pool. Reading some of the posts on the site can give you ideas as to why that is. So as far as...

    Propane heater?
