Leaving Pump on during Feed Mode on Apex Controller
 
I am new to the Apex Controller. Is there a way to configure an outlet in Apex Fusion for a pump, so that the pump does not turn off during feed mode? I would like some pumps to turn off but others to remain on. Thanks.

Sure. I don't shut any of my pumps off when feed more is enabled. It's simple. Just don't include a line like this in your pump outlet code.
If FeedA Then OFF

So is the only way by programming using the advanced control type? In other words, you cannot just select "pump" for control type and select it to stay on during feed mode from there?

Select pump. Change any setting you need then switch to advanced mode. That said, I always program in advanced mode. There is nothing in the pump program option that I would need. If you want you pump on all the time like for a return pump then all you need is:

Fallback ON
Set ON

If you are using profiles to vary flow then you'd be programming in advanced mode regardless.
Might I suggest reading through the Comrehensive Apex Reference Manual. It's a terrific manual for the Apex and covers damn near anything you'd ever want to know. I'm pretty good with Apex programming and a long time user but despite my knowledge, I keep a printed copy of this manual in my aquarium notebook. It comes in handy when I forget something or need some info that I don't know.

Lastly is the Official Neptune Forum. Great resource as well.
