    Pentair IntelliBrite 5G Defect

    Just an Update.. I purchased that aftermarket light and installed it today I'll have a better understanding how it works tonight and I will provide an update. I did notice that the Intellibright board I pulled out had that thick copper backing that the OP mentioned so as I suspected, Pentair...

    Intellichem ORP levels

    Intellichem ORP levels

    Actually the CYA was near 0 at that time and that drop in PH (between 5pm and 6pm) was when I added CYA to see if that was the issue . I put the CYA back up to 40 but I still get the same reactions . Overall the PH is pretty stable. No one has been in the pool, no covers, no operational...

    IntelliChem sensor flow requirement problem

    I have the same setup with no heater and it worked ok for me. I have about 5 feet and a few turns beween my intakepoint and my cell. I originally had my Acid injected into the mixing chamber and my return was just before my intellichlor. I required a minimum of 2200 RPM to open the intellichem...

    Intellichem return Flow Location Question

    I purchased an Intellichem last March but was not able to install it until this December. I hooked the unit up using the mixing chamber as the acid injection point, tapped the Intake just after the filter and the return/acid injection point just before the Salt cell. My kit was missing the...
