IntelliPH work around?

[johnny2678]

I used the IntelliChlor transformer in the ET wired to a relay after the voltage got stepped down to power the acid pump.

I realize this is an old thread now, but I landed here because it sounds like @bdavis466 did exactly what I'm trying to do in commandeering control of the IPH.

I've been scouring Amazon for parts to do this but I always get hesitant before purchasing not knowing if I'm buying the right parts.

Do you mind sharing what you used to tap into the IntelliChlor Power? (I have the IC Power Center, it's not in the ET)

What type of relay did you use? Mechanical or SS?

What did you use to step down the 39V /7.7A DC to 24V/1A DC?

Thanks in advance!

You can use this for the power supply

Amazon.com: Aiposen 110V/220V AC to DC 24V 1A 24W Switch Power Supply Driver,Power Transformer for CCTV Camera/Security System/LED Strip Light/Radio/Computer Project(24V 1A): Home Audio & Theater

Just make sure the IPH is never powered when the pump is off. Use an unused relay powered off the filter pump relay to run the acid pump

Got it! That's the one I was looking at. thx

I saw in the previous thread that you put the power supply right in the easy touch. Do you see any issue if I run the AC from the Filter Pump Relay about 8-10 ft to the IPH pump location and put the 24v DC power supply there?

So AC -> Filter Pump Relay -> Spare Relay -> 8-10 ft run -> 24v DC Power supply -> IPH Pump

My ET is somewhat organized (almost like yours) and I'm scared to move too much around in there

There is no problem doing that as long as you run the wiring in conduit and put the power supply in some kind of an enclosure

That's the plan! Thanks for the responses today. You're helping get my courage up to tackle this!

Still won't be for a couple of weeks but I might post back if I have more questions. Cheers
