controlling an actuated ball valve

What is the best way to control an actuated ball valve with an Aquacontroller II?

I am thinking that I can do this with the following programming from the manual:

OSC 20/20 ON/OFF
Then PM1% ON
OSC 20/20 ON/OFF
Then PM2% OFF

This can be used to switch from one powerhead to another, so it should make the ball valve rotate every 20 minutes. Any ideas?
Thanks

This code will work. You need to make sure that your ball valve can handle having power applied to it continuously. Also, there may be short periods when both PM1 and PM2 are on; so this must be OK for the ball valve as well.

Curt,
Is the there a way to set up 2 timers to run like the diagram below? The gray boxes are the on state. The numbers are minutes and it will need to do this 24/7.
