I'm happy (and a bit jealous too lol), that the IntelliChem on the pH side is working out so well for you.
I so wanted an IntelliChem at one point (not for the FC side really due to the ORP issues, but for the pH side of it), as I had become disheartened by the IntellipH. The ipH does what it is supposed to do just fine, but I wanted much more (remote) automation when it comes to MA dosing and also pH capture.
But then I discovered that IntelliChem would not allow an OP to target any higher than 7.6 on pH. Rats... My pH just likes to live at 7.7-7.8 in the summer and 7.8-8.0 in the winter. That is just the way my pool rolls and I found through lots of advice here, that this fact was just fine. And all my other numbers seem to stabilize at those pH numbers as well.
Also, I kind of took the position that "how dare Pentair dictate to me what they think that my pH ceiling should be". IMO, that's my call, not theirs. So now, just like I have already done regarding the Pentair web client/mobile apps for the IntelliCenter, I will need to look to the "darkside", in the future for pH (and maybe even FC) automation.
Thanks...
