I had an Intellichem installed in December . It is an Acid Pump and it is controlling the Pentair Intellichlor through an easytouch 8. Everything seemed to work fine for the first 6 weeks, the PH and ORP were stable and predictable. But then the ORP readings started to fluctuate willdly sometimes dripping instantly from 700 to 300 and then some days climbing over 700 (the set threshold) and continuing to climb near 900 over several days even throught the chlorinator was not active .
I have a screenlogic system so I was able to capture the weekly changes , I can't attache them since they are about 300k so I attached one of the screenshots of what is happening.
The orp just fell off a cliff at about 1:30 and you can see how smooth the ORP reading were before that anf thats how it was for 6 weeks. I don't get alot of these large drops now but I do get that very erratic reading of the ORP
I put in a trouble-ticket with Pentair, they sent someone out who basically checked the sensors (Like i did by pushing a button) and they say they don't see anything wrong. I shared the ORP history with them and asked them if they consider that normal operation and they said "It doesn't matter what we think"
Has anyone else seen this ? Before I start pushing harder on Pentair I want to make sure this isn't normal.
Thanks

( I can send the PDF's of the history in full for anyone who wants to see them)
