    No drain 0 TA acid wash advice and questions.

    Screenlogic wireless no longer active

    Might be interesting to know. It is unlikely that both were bad. I am glad you are still using the wireless. In my early install I had a buried data line from the ET directly connected to the PA. Somehow a lightning strike nearby must have found the buried cable. It fried my PA ( The Brick)...

    Intellichem pH replacement

    Hope you got it. The new system, pump on the tank, and older system, pump on the intellichem use different tubing in the stenner pump and this would effect the roller correctly compressing the tubing.
