What does the Pentair IntelliPH Size C pump tube do?
The Pentair IntelliPH Size C pump tube controls how acid moves through the IntelliPH dosing system with a measured flow. Specifically, chemical exposure and wear will reduce accuracy that leads to drifting pH and manual adjustments. Moreover, replacing the tube will set dosing back to factory levels and protect from imbalanced water. Shasta Pool Supply stocks the correct OEM tube, so compatibility stays simple and performance stays predictable.

Best For: Ideal Pool Types & Conditions
This pump tube works best for pools that rely on automated pH control through Pentair IntelliPH systems. Specifically, salt pools benefit since they require close pH management throughout the season. Moreover, if your IntelliPH system runs daily or supports a high-use pool, replacing the tube prevents dosing drift before problems start.
Expert Comparison & Pro Tips
Compared to generic tubing, the Pentair Size C pump tube matches IntelliPH flow rate programming. Specifically, aftermarket tubes often stretch or stiffen and cause inaccurate dosing and frequent recalibration. Moreover, OEM tubes last longer and reduce acid delivery errors.
Pro Tip: Replace the pump tube annually if your IntelliPH system runs year-round. Doing so prevents sudden failures and keeps pH stable during peak swim season.

FAQ
Our expert staff answers customer's most asked questions.
How frequently should I clean my filter cartridges?
The cleaning frequency is contingent on your filter's size. As a general guideline, initiate the cleaning process when the filter pressure exceeds the initial pressure by 10 psi. This ensures optimal filtration efficiency.
What are the ideal chemical ranges for my pool?
Achieving a balanced pool involves maintaining a pH range of 7.2–7.8, total alkalinity between 80–120 ppm, calcium hardness at 180–220 ppm, and cyanuric acid (stabilizer) within 30–50 ppm. Chlorine levels should consistently fall within the 1–3 ppm range, by may need to be increased as CYA levels go above 60 PPM.
What is the recommended duration for running my pool equipment?
There isn't a specific timeframe, but it's essential to complete a full water turnover within a 24-hour period. Utilizing pool equipment during off-peak hours can be cost-effective.
