IMPORTANT WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING CHEMICAL BURN HAZARD: Make sure all pumps are switched off at the main circuit breakers at the house before drilling into any pipes. Securely fasten all electrical, water and chemical lines. Locate chemical feed pumps and chemical storage tanks in a safe and secure area.
Strictly follow the acid manufacturers safety and handling protocols including hand, body and eye protection when transferring or handling acid. Safety precautions should be used when handling Muriatic acid to control pH water levels. Muriatic acid can cause serious body injury and damage pool equipment. Extra care must be taken when installing, maintaining and operating acid pump feed systems. Acid is dangerous to handle and should be properly contained, transported, poured, stored, and dispensed.
•Check the pH and sanitizer levels of the water before use.
•Periodically use an independent pH and Chlorine test kit to verify that pH and chlorine is at a safe level. If the pH and Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) or Flow Cell sensors are broken, depleted or dirty with oils, lotions, or other contaminants, they can report inaccurate results to the system causing incorrect water chemistry, which could harm people or equipment.
•Check the IntelliChem main status display each day to ensure there are no Alarm messages. See “Troubleshooting” on page 46 for more information.
When using IntelliChem with a pool pump timer: The Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP) recommends that all water in a residential pool pass through the filtration system at least once every 12 hours (referred to as pool water turnover). However, many factors have an effect on actual pump and filter system run times. Pool size, source of water, direct sun light, indoor/outdoor, screened and unscreened, filtration system, cold or hot weather, swimmer load, rain, organic debris, algae, etc., are all factors which contribute to either more or less pool pump and filter system run times. Because of these differences, it is extremely difficult to set an initial run time (starting point) for the pool pump and chlorinating system. Try initially setting the pool pump timer to 12 hours. It will take a few days to get just the right amount pool pump operating time. When the Chlorinator is wired with a pool pump timer (see page 6) results will vary greatly from one pool installation to the next, so this should be discussed with either the pool builder or your pool professional.
Using CO2 for pH Control
Plaster pools and pools using salt-chlorine generators typically cause a slow pH rise which must be managed. With IntelliChem, muriatic acid or carbon dioxide (CO2) is dispensed into the filter system’s return water as needed until the Flow Cell pH sensor detects the proper pH level. Using CO2 for pH control eliminates the need to handle and stored acid and can be a safer method. As CO2 gas is injected into the pool water, it dissolves and creates carbonic acid. This weak acid is very efficient at lowering pH with the added benefit of self-limiting if the CO2 is over-fed.
IntelliChem™ Installation and User’s Guide

Overview
IntelliChem is a pH and ORP sensing device that dispenses correct amount of chlorine or bromine, muriatic acid or CO2 gas. IntelliChem provides continual analysis of your swimming pool water sanitation and pH levels, providing real-time status information to dispense the proper amount of muriatic acid (pH reducer) and chlorine or bromine for the correct sanitization and pH balance. IntelliChem operates with or without a salt chlorine generator to provide a self-replenishing supply of chlorine generated from salt. IntelliChem can also connect to carbon dioxide (CO2) liquid gas tanks to lower pH in your swimming pool water. When CO2 dissolves into water it produces weak neutral bicarbonate salts which reduces pH. CO2 is environmentally friendly and produces no secondary pollution into the treated water by salts such as chlorides or sulfates. CO2 does not corrode metal equipment and does not require any special piping. IntelliChem supports Pentair Water Pool and Spa® (“Pentair”), EasyTouch®, IntelliTouch® and SunTouch® automation control systems for pH and ORP control. IntelliChem also supports IntelliChlor® salt chlorine generator (SCG) to help manage your pool water sanitizer levels.
Operating IntelliChem
Before operating IntelliChem, it’s important to test and adjust your pool water chemistry to the recommended pool industry levels found in this manual (see page 19). If you are using an IntelliChlor salt chlorine generator, adjust the salt levels to the recommended levels in the IntelliChlor Installation and User’s Guide (P/N 520589). During normal IntelliChem operation, no user input is required, IntelliChem will automatically sense ORP and pH levels. The current ORP and pH levels are regularly displayed on the control panel LCD display. Use the pH Settings or ORP Settings buttons to view or adjust supply levels. The IntelliChem “Auto Setup” feature provides screen prompts for first-time setup or standard configurations such as setup reminder times, calculating feed times, proportional limits and alarms. For details, see page 6.
First Balance Your Pool Water
IMPORTANT: To help keep your pool water balanced follow these steps:
1.Use a Test Kit (with fresh testing reagents) to measure the pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness of the pool water. For greater accuracy, Pentair recommends the AcuCheck3 Test Kit to measure pH, chlorine ppm, and alkalinity levels (P/N 745000110). “Balanced” water has proper levels of pH, Total Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness. This “balanced” water is neither corrosive or scaling. The pH (0-14) value is the scale of relative acidity or alkalinity. Recommended pH range is from 7.2 to 7.6. The IntelliChem default pH value is 7.5 (see page 12).
2.Be sure the pool chlorine level is balanced. Ideal free chlorine level should be between 1.0 - 3.0 parts per million (ppm).
3.Use the online Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) calculator to diagnose the water balance in your pool or the IntelliChem built-in LSI calculator (see page 24-27). Refer to: http://www.pentairpool.com/pool-owner/resources/calculators/langelier/
Note: A Saturation Index value of 0 indicates the water is chemically in balance. If the Index is a minus (-) value, corrosive tendencies are indicated. If the Index is a plus (+) value, scale-forming tendencies are indicated. A Saturation Index value between +0.3 to -0.3 is considered satisfactory in a swimming pool. See Saturation Index menu on page 24.

To access the pH Menu: Press MENU pH Menu pH Dosage - The ph Dosage screen 1/2 displays the current dose method (by Volume, Time or to Setpoint).
pH Dosage (for Internal and External Pumps)
pH Dosage (page 1/2)
Mixing Time: Select the amount of time in hours and minutes that IntelliChem will wait in between pH feeding. It should be set to allow sufficient mixing time for the chemicals to become distributed throughout the pool. The pH Mixing Time is set by Auto Setup.
Dose (by Volume/Time): Choose the feed method: “by Volume” and “by Time” are available choices for liquid dosers, as determined by the hardware setup. If CO2 is selected, then the available choices are “by Time” and “To Setpoint”.
pH Dosage (page 2/2)
Dose (Volume): Displays the current dose size (0-9999) in ounces [oz] or milliliters [ml]. Set the amount of ounces (or milliliters) that IntelliChem will feed pH (acid) each time IntelliChem calls for pH chemicals. The Dose (Volume) is set by Auto Setup wizard based on pool volume and filter run time.
Dose (Time/Setpoint): Displays the current pH dose (feed) time. Sets the amount of time in hours, minutes and seconds that IntelliChem will feed pH (acid) each time IntelliChem calls for pH chemicals. The pH dose time is set by Auto Setup. The Dose (Time) is set by Auto Setup wizard based on pool volume and filter run time. Dose (to Setpoint) does not have a dose amount, only a time limit.
Limit (Time/Volume): Displays the current feed limit. Sets the maximum amount of time/volume in hours, minutes and seconds or volumetric units that will be allowed to feed pH chemicals. As a safety feature, the IntelliChem will only allow a certain amount of pH chemicals to feed into the system in a 24 hour period. Set the maximum amount of time in hours (0-24) that will be allowed to feed. IntelliChem tracks each dose time, and adds them together. When the maximum dose time is reached or exceeded, the ORP feed system is prevented from feeding until the next 24 hour period begins, or when the feed timers are cleared manually. The default pH Limit is based on a safe limit of 2 ppm of the size of the pool, up to a 5 oz maximum. The Limit (Time/Volume) is set by Auto Setup wizard based on pool volume and filter run time.

Clear: Select Power-On to clear the pH dose limit time when IntelliChem is powered on. Select Manual to manually clear the pH dose limit timers and select 24 Hrs to clear timers automatically each 24 hour period of continuous operation.
To protect the pool water, IntelliChem will automatically shutdown pH and ORP feed control and display an alarm message if IntelliChem (or any other dispensing device) runs non-stop for more than the selected Limit time or volume. This prevents IntelliChem from non-stop feeding pH reducer, because of a sensor error or external problem with the pool. This allows you to evaluate the pool chemistry before continuing with pH feeding.
pH Set Point
Displays the current pH set point value. Adjust the pH set point to meet pool and spa chemistry standards. The adjustable range is from 7.2 to 7.6 in increments of 0.1. The default pH set point value is 7.5.
To adjust the acid feed pH set point: Press MENU pH Menu pHSetpt
Press / to decrease or increase the current pH set point value.
Note: When using CO2, parameters are the same as above.
pH Tweak
The exact reading of each individual pH sensor can vary because of water makeup and variances in probe condition age, etc. The pH Tweak menu feature allows you to adjust the pH sensor reading to match the manual reading taken. The adjustable range is +/- 0.3. After adjusting the pH value, the main screen should now display the same value as the manual reading.
To adjust the pH sensor level:
Press MENU / pH Menu pH Tweak
The current value is displayed (reading = x.xx). Press / to adjust the pH sensor level (+/- 0.3). To remove the tweak, set the level back to 0 (zero).

Note: Entering the hours and minutes time (H:00 M:00) will display the hour glass icon on the main screen.
Level Gauge (liquid only): Displays level gauge when using liquid chemical doser. Tank icon symbol is used for liquid chemical configurations that include valid supply and doser feed rate information.
pH Sensitivity
IntelliChem can adjust the feed times for pH depending on how close the current reading is to the set point. This helps to prevent overshooting and makes it easier for IntelliChem to reach the exact set point.
Low= (default) Full dose at 0.5 pH above setpoint High= Full dose at 0.2 pH above setpoint
Off= Full dose at 0.005 pH above setpoint
For example: When set to LOW (full dose at 0.5 above setpoint), if pH setpoint is 7.2 and pH reading is 7.7 or above, a full dose amount is dispensed. As the pH comes closer to setpoint, say 7.45 (0.25 above setpoint - orhalf the 0.5 pH value), the dispensed amount will be 1/2 of the specified dosage. And, at 0.05 (1/10th of 0.5 value) above setpoint (7.25), the dosage will be 10% of that specified in the dosage menu. In that case, if the dosage was specified to be 10 ounces, IntelliChem will dispense only 1 ounce at a time. This can be confusing to someone who is watching the IntelliChem because it will appear to not be dosing the full amount; therefore, in the Advanced display mode, the process timer will be shown as "%Dosing 0.1 oz", the "%" indicating that the dosage is reduced due to this Sensitivity feature.
To set the pH Sensitivity level: Press MENU - pH Menu / pH Sensitivity
pH Alarms
IntelliChem automatically displays a screen message indicating the pH level has reached or exceeded the HIGH (7.8) or LOW (6.8) pH alarm level settings.
IntelliChem will automatically set a high and low alarm for the pH level. The Delay time is the amount of time between the detected alarm condition and when IntelliChem displays the alarm message on the main screen. The Delay setting is adjusted in increments of 15 seconds.
To set the pH alarm “High” level and “Delay” time (page 1/2): Press MENU pH Menu pH Alarms / pH Alarms /
(page 1/2 is High Level Alarm, page 2/2 is Low Level Alarm)
Press to select the alarm, High level and Delay Time (00:50:00). To set the pH alarm “Low” level and “Delay” time (page 2/2):
Press MENU / pH Menu pH Alarms / Low / Delay (2/2)
Press / to change pH alarms Low level and Delay Time (00:05:00).

Mixing Time: Select the amount of time in hours and minutes that IntelliChem will wait in between ORP dosing. It should be set to allow sufficient mixing time for the chemicals to become distributed throughout the pool. The ORP Mixing Time is set by Auto Setup.
Dose (by Volume/Time): Choose the feed method: “by Volume” and “by Time” are available choices for liquid dosers, as determined by the hardware setup. If IntelliChlor (SCG) is selected, then the available choices are “by Time” and “To Setpoint”.
ORP Dosage (page 2/2)
Dose (Volume): Displays the current dose size (0-9999) in ounces [oz] or milliliters [ml]. Set the amount of ounces (or milliliters) that IntelliChem will dose ORP (chlorine/ bromine) each time IntelliChem calls for ORP chemicals. The Dose (Volume) is set by Auto Setup wizard based on pool volume and filter run time.
Dose (Time/Setpoint): Displays the current ORP dose (feed) time. Sets the amount of time in hours, minutes and seconds that IntelliChem will feed ORP (chlorine/bromine) each time IntelliChem calls for ORP chemicals. The ORP dose time is set by Auto Setup. The Dose (Time) is set by Auto Setup wizard based on pool volume and filter run time. Dose (to Setpoint) does not have a dose amount, only a time limit.
Limit (Time/Volume): Displays the current feed limit. Sets the maximum amount of time/volume in hours, minutes and seconds or volumetric units that will be allowed to feed ORP chemicals. As a safety feature, the IntelliChem will only allow a certain amount of ORP chemicals to feed into the system in a 24 hour period. Set the maximum amount of time in hours (0-24) that will be allowed to feed. IntelliChem tracks each dose time, and adds them together. When the maximum dose time is reached or exceeded, the ORP feed system is prevented from feeding until the next 24 hour period begins, or when the feed timers are cleared manually. The default ORP Limit is based on a safe limit of 2 ppm of the size of the pool, up to a 5 oz maximum. The Limit (Time/Volume) is set by Auto Setup wizard based on pool volume and filter run time.
Clear: Select Power-On to clear the ORP dose limit time when IntelliChem is powered on. Select Manual to manually clear the ORP dose limit timers and select 24 Hrs to clear timers automatically each 24 hour period of continuous operation.
