I'd like to get a larger tank so when I'm out for a month in July, the chlorine won't get depleted. I'd like to get something where I can just remove the pump from the Intellichem tank and move it to the new tank. Based on the pump tube replacements I've purchased over the years, I'm thinking...

The pump motor runs and the rollers are squeezing the tube, but no acid is pumped. I thought I just needed a replacement pump tube--that's been the solution in the past. I put the same pump tube on the adjacent stenner pump (along with attached tubing) that's used to dose chlorine and it...

I need to move my Intellichem flow cell/probe holder. The rubber tubing the water in/out isn't long enough. Is it 3/8"? Can I get it locally at Lowe's?

I need to order some new tubes for the chlorine pump in my Intellichem system. I can't read the P/N on the old tube. I've order the wrong ones in the past (they were too long), so I'm hoping someone can tell me which size is correct. Thanks!

I have an Intellichem. It has Stenner pumps for dosing chlorine and acid. I think the pumps it uses are 45MP2. These are rated to 25 psi. The pumps regularly see over 30 psi. I frequently have to bleed air out of the chlorine dosing line. I don't know why. I've replaced the injectors and...

My pool has SRSmith Treo nicheless color LED lights. I've never been happy with how bright they are. Two have a failed LED. I could buy replacement lamps for them for around $80 each. But, maybe now is the time to upgrade to something brighter. I found the Jandy Pro Series. That line...

My CVA-24 valve was stuck. I tried shorting the limit switches with the manual switch in both positions, but it didn't help. I found that I can actually "help" the valve move with the handle. It makes a racket when moving, but eventually gets to the either position when I used the manual...

I have a three + year old, 17K gallon pool. Pentair Intellichem is used for dispensing acid and chlorine. Target ph is 7.3 to 7.4. TA is about 100. Calcium is 300. I love the Intellichem--hassle free, perfect ph (and chlorination). But, I'm still using about two gallons of 100% muriatic...

Is there a way to clean injector valves (Pentair Intellichem acid and chlorine injectors), or do people just buy a new ones? I heading out of town for a couple of weeks, and as luck would have it, one has quit working. I doubt I can get a replacement one locally. Thanks!

I was using lots of muriatic acid to keep my ph balanced (relatively new plaster pool). So, I took the advice on this forum (JoyFulNoise, I think) and went with a lower Total Alkalinity. That helped a lot! Muriatic acid usage was reduced dramatically. I suppose the PH wasn't "buffered" as...

I have an intermittent problem with my IceBreaker heat pump. The heat pump can be used to cool the pool water in addition to heating it. But, the valve inside the heat pump that controls heating versus cooling mode sometimes sticks in heating mode when it should be cooling. But, that's...

I've never added stabilizer to my pool and I can't measure any CYA using the Taylor test kit. Last week I measured ORP and FC using the Taylor FAS-DPD test before, and after, the pool was exposed to one hour of direct, overhead sunlight. I saw no difference in either ORP or FC during that...

The ScreenLogic interface shows acid and chlorine dosing on a timeline. The bars that indicate the dosing times have different widths--the width of the bar probably indicates the amount of the dose. The amount of acid/chlorine used/remaining is also indicated in a six segment bar graph. I...

Somewhere on this website I think I saw a chart that had %FC loss versus CYA level, but I can't seem to find it. I've seen posts that say things like 90% loss in 30 minutes in noon time sun with 0 CYA, but I'd like to see the table. Currently, I have 0 CYA. Before adding some, I wanted to get...

I just started using Intellichem to constantly inject chlorine to regulate ORP. For the last six months, I've been running with no daily chlorine at all, just weekly chlorine in the form of shock + constant ozone injection and copper ionization. Right now my CYA is zero and the ionizer is...

I'm installing an Intellichem and debating whether I should put the injectors and flow cell outlet before the valve manifold, or only in the pool return line. There's one valve that controls whether water is returned to the spa, or through one or more of the pool/skimmers/cleaner valves. I was...

Ok, I'm an engineer... Can someone explain what is meant by "sparkling" water? I understand water clarity. It can easily be measured. Does "sparkling" mean "apparently perfect" clarity? Or is this referring to reflections that occur on water ripples when the sun is shining? If it's the...

I'm installing an Intellichem with two pumps myself. Seems straight-forward, but I'm confused by the fact that two saddle fittings are included with each canister. I think I only need one per canister to inject chlorine and acid in the return line after the heater. But each canister came with...
