power failure off switch?
any ideas? in case of power outage i want a switch that will keep my skimmer off for 10 minutes or more when power returns. i have a neptune Aqua controller 2 but Neptune Systems told me that only works with the apex. i don't want to buy another controller.

Can I ask why?
It seems like it shouldn't be a problem for the skimmer to come back on right away.

I can't answer the OP's question but I bet his skimmer would overflow until the water in the sump has receded back to its normal operating level.
Mine would.... |

maybe you could use the MH option on the RKL to do this. I have never tried it but it has a delay. Just an idea.
