IntelliChem
®
IntelliChem provides the EasyTouch 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.
From the IntelliChem menu you can adjust the pH and Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) set point values
to meet pool and spa chemistry standards for your pool. A status screen displays a user adjustable pH and
OPR fuel gauge which visually represents the same amount of chemicals available in pH and ORP container.

Note: Use the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) Calculator to diagnose the water balance in your pool.
Water with a LSI of 1.0 is one pH unit above saturation. Reducing the pH by one unit will bring the water into
equilibrium. To learn more about the LSI calculator refer to your IntelliChem owner's manual.

PH/ORP Values: Press the Right button to access the pH and OPR set point
values screen. Use the Up/Down button to adjust the pH set point value. Press
the Right button again to set the ORP set point value. Press MENU to save and
return to the previous screen.
pH Set Point: 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.
ORP Set Point: Displays the current ORP set point value. Use the Up/Down
button to adjust the 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).
STATUS: Displays the current communication link between EasyTouch and
IntelliChem via the RS-485 cable. IChem Comm Error: Check the RS-485
communication cable is connected to the COM port on the EasyTouch circuit
board.
Level Gauge indicator: Press the Up/Down button to "fill" the gauge icon so
that it visually represents the same amount of acid available in the container.
Press Up/Down button six (6) times to fill the gauge (three times to half fill the
gauge). Six horizontal bars represent chlorine (or bromine) supply is full. One bar
indicates the supply is nearly empty.
Sat Index: To access the Sat Index settings, press the Up/Down button then
press the Right button. Use the Up/Down button to adjust the levels/values for:
CH (calcium hardness), TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), TA (total alkalinity), CYA
(cyanuric acid) and TMP (current temperature). Note: See table below for ideal
Saturation Index levels.
SI: The saturation Index is displayed. IDEAL: Optimum levels. CORROSIVE: pH too
low. SCALING:
Press the Menu button three times to return to the main screen.
