I am just starting to have my 25000g inground pool resurfaced and I am replacing all the equipment to Pentair products. I initially purchased the IntelliPH system, but then realized that Intellichem would better suit my needs. I bought the Intellichem 521357 with flow sensor; can I use the acid tank that came with the IntelliPH (521377). I ask because there is a two prong plug on the acid tank wire- can I remove that plug to hardwire the acid tank pump into the Intellichem? I purchased the IntelliPH from Ebay and cannot return it. I was hoping I can integrate the tank to with the Intellichem without having to buy a different tank.
Pentair Intellichem with IntelliPH Acid Tank

Well, just so happens I have an acid tank that came with my Intellichem in my garage since we haven't hooked up all of our pool equipment. It's a little dusty from sitting outside, but I can share some pictures of both the tank, and the connection that it has...
Unfortunately I was not able to find any sort of a model number on it. All it has is a serial number and a manufacturing date...
@Mods - Unrelated question on the photos above: Does anyone know how I can adjust the pictures to show in the right orientation? They're correct on my computer, it just seems that the forum editor always puts them in landscape...is there a way to change this, or should I just make sure that I always take photos in landscape if I plan to post them?

Pentair changed pump heads on the acid containers a little while back . The older version was a ShurFlo pump and the newer version is a Stenner (the one pictured being a Stenner). I believe the voltage to be the same to both pump heads but your best bet is to contact Pentair. Their customer service is very helpful and I'd imagine they will let you know if there are any issues with what you are planning to do.
If my memory serves me correct this is the style connector you need to integrate to the controller:

I'm guessing that's why my container has such a low serial number - it's under 30, and was manufactured last July, so I'm guessing that's when they changed pumps.
Looks like I need the plug dw886 has. Hopefully I can just change it but I will consult with Pentair first.
You have the older style IntelliPH pump then (ShurFlo).
You can purchase the Stenner replacement but it will be just another added expense:
