baking soda. Carefully pour the baking soda onto the spilled material
until the fizzing stops, then mop or scoop up the residue. Leave

IntellipH System Overview

This manual describes how to installation and setup the IntellipH.

Operating IntellipH

The IntellipH controller adds acid to the pool every hour. The dispense amount is based
on the user's settings. The amount of acid added each hour can be quickly changed by
pressing either the MORE or LESS button, with a range of 1% - 100% in 1% increments.
If 0% is selected, no acid will be dispensed.

All acid for the IntellipH system is stored in a four gallons storage canister with a
built-in pump. A small tube, provided in the kit, carries the acid pumped from the canister
directly to the main water line. The 60 minute timer will restart again.

After each dose, the IntellipH control panel display will show a 60-minute countdown
timer. When the timer equals zero, the pump on the canister is activated and acid is
pumped into the pool's main waterline.

Note: Once an IntelliChlor cell is connected to the IntellipH controller, the cell sanitizer
output will be adjusted through the IntellipH controller menu, NOT through the cell. Set
the IntelliChlor output from the SET CELL OUTPUT menu on IntellipH controller . The

More and Less buttons on IntelliChlor cell will be disabled.
