apex pump wizard help

[cilyjr]

in the pump wizard you are given 3 variables

1 pump on in mins:secs
2 pump off in mins:secs
3 pump on in mins:secs

if i want to pump on for 15 seconds an hour this would be the prgm???

Initial off time (MMM:SS) 059:45
On time (MMM:SS): 000:15
Off time (MMM:SS) 059:45

also when does this cycle begin at the top of the hour or does it start the second you click update outlet? in which case the pump would remain off for 59mins and 45 seconds from when the button is clicked?

Yes. You're creating the variables for the Oscillate statement (switch to Advanced mode after you update the Wizard and you'll see the actual program statement).

also when does this cycle begin at the top of the hour or does it start the second you click update outlet?

As long as the sum of the ON/OFF times is divisible into 1440 with no remainder then it's starting on the hour (actually midnight) as you've surmised. The initial OFF time is your initial delay, then the ON/OFF times go from there. If you wanted the 15 minutes ON to start at the top of the hour then your Initial OFF time would be 0.
