  • Page 13 To Change The pH Control Mode: The CAT 5500 is programmed at the factory to operate in the acid feed mode by default (when pH exceeds setpoint, the pH chemical feeder is activated). If the sanitizer or other factors of the application cause the pH to decrease, base feed mode must be selected.
  • Page 14 Feed: The CAT 5500 by default uses a time-based proportional feed algorithm which enables the control of virtually any body of water without under-feeding or overshooting the setpoint. With some types of chemical feeders, however, it is beneficial to disable proportional feed and feed on a fixed basis.
  • Page 15 ORP Feed: The CAT 5500 by default uses a time-based proportional feed algorithm which enables the precise control of virtually any body of water.
