Setting up IntelliChem Water Chemistry Controller
IntelliChem screen
IntelliChem provides the IntelliTouch system with 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. For more information, refer to the IntelliChem Installation and User’s
Guide (P/N 521363). From the IntelliChem screens you can adjust the pH and Oxidation Reduction
Potential (ORP) set point values to meet pool and spa chemistry standards for your pool. To access the

PH/ORP Values:
The current pH and ORP values display next to the set point settings.
pH Set:
Displays the current pH set point value. The adjustable range is from 7 to 8 in
increments of 0.1. The default pH set point value is 7.5. To adjust the pH set point, press
the button next to pH Set.
ORP Set:
Displays the current ORP set point value. The adjustable range is from 650 to
800 in increments of 10. The default ORP set point value is 700 (chlorine level of 3.0 ppm).
The ORP set point is the value that IntelliChem will try to achieve based on the actual
chlorine level (ppm). To adjust the ORP set point, press the button next to ORP Set.
ORP/PH TANK LEVEL:
The current IntelliChem ORP and pH tank level are displayed. To
adjust the gauge levels, press the button next to ORP TANK or PH TANK. Press the Down/
Up buttons to set the chemical levels in the containers.
ALARMS:
View the current IntelliChem ORP and 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.
Saturation Index/Menu:
To access the Saturation Index screen, press the button next to
SATURATION INDEX/MENU. The current Saturation Index value, water condition, water
temperature and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) are displayed. Press the button next the
following selections to adjust the levels/values:
Calcium Hardness:
Recommended range
is 200-400 ppm. Levels should be tested weekly.
Cyanuric Acid:
Stabilizes chlorine in
water from UV degradation. When using the IntelliChlor SCG, cyanuric acid level should
be maintained between 50-80 ppm.
Total Alkalinity:
APSP’s recommended ideal range
for is 80 to 120 ppm for “gunite” and concrete pools and 125-170 ppm for painted, vinyl,
and fiberglass pools. Test levels weekly and adjust according to your pool professional’s
recommendations.
Saturation Index:
The saturation Index displays IDEAL (Optimum levels), CORROSIVE
(pH too low) or SCALING (pH too high). For ideal Saturation Index levels and
recommended pool chemistry, refer to the following values:
pH range: 7.2 to 7. ORP
range: 650 to 750. Calcium Hardness: 200 - 500 ppm. Cyanuric Acid/Stabilizer:
30-50 ppm. Total Alkanlinity: 80 to 120 ppm.

Getting There
NOTE: Use a Test Kit (with fresh testing reagents) to measure the pH, alkalinity and
calcium hardness of the pool water. For greater accuracy, use the AcuCheck3 Test Kit
to measure pH, chlorine ppm, and alkalinity levels (P/N 7450001100). “Balanced” water
has proper levels of pH, Total Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness. This “balanced” water
is neither corrosive or scaling. The pH level number (0-14 with 7.0 being neutral) is the
scale of relative acidity or alkalinity. Be sure the pool chlorine level is balanced. Ideal
free chlorine level should be between 1.0 - 3.0 parts per million (ppm). Use the online
Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) calculator to diagnose the water balance in your pool
or the IntelliChem built-in LSI calculator. Refer to:
http://www.pentairpool.com/pool-
owner/resources/calculators/langelier/
- 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 b0.3 to -0.3 is considered satisfactory in a swimming
pool.
