Hi all,
I'm continuing my "battle" with my IntelliChem and I was wondering if it's a coincidence or not that after I used a phosphate remover to go from 500 ppb to 0, that the ORP value being read by the IntelliChem rose significantly in value. Is there a relationship between phosphate levels and ORP readings?
I know, I know, ORP isn't a recommended method of managing chlorine...nevertheless, I'm trying to see if I can get a reasonable grip on the FC levels anyway, as Pentair has advised that to have the IntelliChem allow a the percentage-based generation of chlorine, I still need to have a non-alarm level of ORP (at least 650) being read by the IntelliChem (you apparently can't just tell it to ignore ORP and have the IntelliChlor create chlorine as you wish).
