1. A system for restocking a solid chemistry supply within a plumbing system, the system comprising:

  • a solid chemistry supply container housing the solid chemistry supply, the solid chemistry supply being a source of a chemical outputted to the plumbing, the solid chemistry supply container being in line with fluid of the plumbing and receiving a fluid within the plumbing such that the fluid contacts the solid chemistry supply;

    a process information generation device configured to generate process information associated with a process using the plumbing;

    a control apparatus, comprising;

    a receiver configured to receive the process information;

    a data processing device communicatively coupled to the receiver, the data processing device configured to;

    receive the process information from the receiver;

    generate an estimated solid chemistry supply level existing inside the solid chemistry supply container by inputting the received process information into a model, the model comprising relationships between a plurality of process information values and a plurality of solid chemistry supply levels and configured to output the estimated solid chemistry supply level in response to receiving the received process information; and

    output a control signal to a feeder to control the feeder according to the generated estimated solid chemistry supply level; and

    further comprising the feeder communicatively coupled to the data processing device, the feeder regulating dosages of the solid chemistry supply fed to the solid chemistry supply container according to the control signal received from the data processing device.
