Hello all, I have an Pentair IntelliChem system that I have an issue with. I do understand that most don't care for that system and I myself would never have one installed again, but its there now and I might as well try and utilize it. The system is now 4 years old. I do all the work on it myself and have made many repairs and changes, but I'm having an issue with my ORP side that I just can not figure out. If someone is familiar with the system and has some information, I would greatly appreciate the information.
Issue is- The ORP is not dispensing. Ive already checked the function of the pump, checked the lines, etc. Ive already verified that it is not anything to do with the tank. In fact, the tank doses fine when I do a manual dose.
However, on the panel it continues to stay on Monitoring Mode. When I do a manual dose, when its complete it will set a counter time of 46 min and when it reaches that time, instead of dosing, it goes right back to Monitoring. I have it dosing by Volume (has been for the last 4 years) and I change the amount of times and Ounces as needed. The ORP was showing HIGH at 823 (which sometimes happens in the morning and then comes back down eventually), but when it came back into range, it still was staying on Monitoring and not dosing (hasn't dosed in 4 days now unless I manually do it). I also did 4 Factory resets within those days.
Dosing Frequency and Amount also changes on its own on both Acid and ORP as well. It has never done that before. It keeps dropping to 5 times at 45 oz/day from a higher setpoint I keep them at. Today I decided to change the probe out and put a new one in. Probe tests were showing "Good" with the one I changed out, but I decided to change it anyways. So now the new probe is showing LOW at 280. Now its hard to know which one is correct. Tomorrow I may just put the old one back in (currently sitting in buffer solution) just to see what it says again.
Thanks for any help provided
