What's wrong with my program?

Ok, there must be something obvious that I'm doing wrong, can anyone spot it? Looking at my Aquanotes log, it appears that my heater and chiller are sometimes running at the same time. I'm using the default season table.

Thanks for any insight!

I don't see the problem with the chiller, but the fan could definitely be on when the heater is on. You have very tight on/off temperatures, and the FAN has a Max Change 010 M Then FAN ON. The Max change will keep the fan on a minimum of 10 minutes before being allowed to turn off. During the period the temperature could fall, and the heater could turn on.
I would expand the on/off temps for the heater, chiller and fan, and set the log interval to say 5 minutes so you can see the actual temperature fluctuations of the tank and you can see what is happening more easily.
