Apex Help!
Ok, so enough is enough... Every single time my power goes out, which lately has been often. My skimmer overflows sending the entire collection cup back into the tank and a huge foam disaster downstairs...
So, here's what I need to do... If power fails, and restores, how do I have the skimmer pump NOT COME BACK ON until say, 5 minutes has passed since power the power has been restored. If anyone can chime in I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

It will just fill the container. I have. PM skimate collection camber on my skimmer with a float switch to shut down the skimmer if it does fill. My program. I have the skimmer stay off for 30 minutes after feeding. Fallback OFF Set ON If Outlet Return_Pump = OFF Then OFF ( this way if I shut the return pump of for maintenance the skimmer doesn't overflow) If FeedA 030 Then OFF If FeedB 030 Then OFF If FeedC 030 Then OFF If FeedD 030 Then OFF Defer 002:00 Then ON If Power Apex Off 001 Then OFF If S-SKIM CLOSED Then OFF

So Fallback off Set on If outlet return_pump = off then off Defer 005:00 then on So the skimmers off when the return pumps off and will turn on 5 minutes after you start the return pump back up. Obviously your name for the return pump may be different so just change the "return_pump" to whatever you named it. |
