Apex help

[Blue spot]

Can anyone help me please . I am trying to program my apex so that if the main return turns off my skimmer will shut down and start 5 minutes later so far I have
If main return = off then skimmer = off

This turns the skimmer off but can't get the time delay to work

Help!!! I keep getting overflows .

If MainReturn = OFF then OFF
defer 005:00 then ON

what it looks like your asking for is when you turn the main pump back on you want the skimmer to turn on 5 mins later...which would be a little different

if MainPump = OFF then OFF
if MainPump = ON
defer 005:00 then ON

you would put this in the skimmer outlet

Thank you, so much. Works perfectly.

no problem

Bad news folks. I thought this had worked, turned out it programmed back to a default rent on skimmer off. Any more ideas ?

can you explain a bit more what happens, that code should work

The code posted above does not appear to be correct. This however should work. . Be sure to program the outlet as advanced and put it into the skimmer outlet. I also changed the pump name to MainReturn to match your original post. Be sure to have the outlet name match what ever your return pump outlet is named.

Fallback ON
If Outlet MainReturn = ON Then ON
If Outlet MainReturn = OFF then OFF
Min Time 5:00 Then OFF

This is what I use (except I use 45 seconds)
Bullet proof:


Fallback ON
Set ON
If Outlet MainReturn = OFF Then OFF
If Outlet MainReturn = ON Then ON
Defer 005:00 Then ON

damn I can't believe I forgot outlet...I just got done changing a lot of my coding around not to long ago as well. sorry about that!

Plus it has to be named correctly. Mine are "ReturnPump1" and "ReturnPump2".

You don't need Main Return = ON Then ON

Just use:
Fallback ON
Set ON
If Outlet MainReturn = OFF Then OFF
Defer 005:00 Then ON
