Please review my ACIII code for my skimmer....

[rgonzalez]

I'd like to keep my skimmer on at all times, unless the temperature in the tank goes above 85 degrees. Is this code correct?

If Temp > 85.0 Then SWC OFF
If Time > 00:00 Then SWC ON


Thanks!

I'd think you'd want more than your skimmer off if your temp got that high. Like your lights.


Not too sure if the following is needed though (at least with an Apex):

If Time > 00:00 Then SWC ON

Good call on the lights J! What code should I use?

If I don't add that code, then I can't see the SWC line on my Status screen :/

here is my code for my temp control on my ACIII:

HET = Heater
FAN = Fan
FTL = Frag Tank Light
ACT = Actinics
MH1 = Display Halide 1
MH2 = Display Halide 2
ALM = Alarm which emails me.

If Temp  < 78.0      Then HET ON 
If Temp  > 78.3      Then HET OFF
If Temp > 79.0       Then FAN ON 
If Temp < 78.2       Then FAN OFF
If Temp  > 79.9      Then FTL OFF
If Temp  > 80.2      Then ACT OFF
If Temp  > 80.3      Then MH1 OFF
If Temp  > 80.5      Then MH2 OFF
If Temp  > 80.6      Then ALM ON 
If Temp  < 76.5      Then ALM ON
