The IntelliChem water chemistry system is in working condition overall; turns on and functions, however I am noticing that it’s mixing pump turns on every 2 minutes for 5 seconds even though the controller is indicating the Ph is ok. Also there is a red alarm message present which may be a past notification that has not been cleared. This system likely requires some maintenance to programming ($350).
