Pentair IntelliChem Acid Dosing Help

[kyndacrazy]

I’m learning that my now fired pool pro had some pretty wonky settings on my Intellichem setup. I’ve noticed that when my pH rises (even say 7.4 setpoint to 7.5 or 7.6), Intellichem will always reach its dose limit before bringing it back down. Can someone help to set the appropriate dose limit options in the pH menu of Intellichem? It is currently set to dose 10oz at a time up to 70oz limit for 24 hours. For my 33k gallon pool, what should this be set at? Maybe a dumb question and I should just increase the dose limit? The reason I ask is that I watched an Intellichem setup video where the dose limit was set much lower.

The probes need monthly cleaning and calibration if your pool pro wasn't doing that.

IntelliChem - worth it?
