As long as your pump is running, your ChemCheck will take a reading every hour.

ChemCheck measures Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) which is the effectiveness of your sanitizer pH and water temperature.

The ChemCheck remains in a sleep state in order to conserve power and it wakes up regularly to take readings. Because it lives in this sleep state, a reading cannot be requested from the app. You can, however, press the blue button on the ChemCheck and it will wake it up and take a reading 5 minutes later.

ChemCheck measures your water with an electrical sensor.  In order to take an accurate reading, the circuitry needs time to stabilize after waking up.

If your pump is not running, the water in the ChemCheck will be stagnant and will not be representative of your actual pool water.

Please reference the owner's manual for detailed installation guide and options.

No. There are two options to power your ChemCheck. There is a plug in version that will plug into any 120V outlet available on your pool pad and there is a battery operated version that includes a rechargeable battery if there is not an available outlet.

ChemCheck uses an electrical pH sensor. This sensor is more accurate and less susceptible to errors than some other test methods. There are many variables that can cause errors in reading test strips or reagent tests.

ChemCheck uses a probe that measures water parameters electrically, currently free chlorine can only be measured chemically. Instead, the ChemCheck measures ORP which is a direct measure of your water's ability to sanitize bacteria.

ChemCheck uses ORP, which is a measure of the effectiveness of your sanitizer. Traditional test kits measure the amount of sanitizer in water, but not necessarily its effectiveness. Pentair recommends using traditional testing methods in conjunction with ChemCheck's constant monitoring to keep pool owners informed of the condition of their water.

There is a blue plunger inside the clear jar on your ChemCheck. If this plunger is visible, while your pump is on, then there is not enough water flowing through your ChemCheck. This could be because the inline debris screen is clogged with debris or because your pump is not turned up high enough. Please refer to the instruction manual for more information.

The probe needs time to acclimate and adjust to your pool water. If this is not done, the readings will be inaccurate.

The IntelliFlo3 VSF pool pump allows your pool to have better flowing water for more bubbling bubblers and cascading fountains, with critical equipment that is taxed less and lasts longer. The combination of variable speed and sensorless flow can save you up to 90% on your energy bill. Additionally, the pump comes with optional built-in automation that allows you to control up to two other pool devices.

The IntelliFlo3 pool pump uses patented built-in sensorless flow technology to adjust speed automatically as conditions change with your pool. For example, when dirt or debris loads into a filter between cleanings, the pump will sense a reduction in flow due to a higher restriction in the flow path because of the presence of that dirt or debris. Therefore, the pump will speed up to maintain flow.
