I have a new tank and a new APEX ATO setup and programmed with the suggested code of

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If LoATO OPEN Then ON
If HiATO CLOSED Then OFF
When On > 005:00 Then OFF
Defer 000:10 Then ON
Defer 000:04 Then OFF
Min Time 060:00 Then OFF

When I review my logs it looks like the pump runs for 30 seconds or less until the low sensor closes and the auto fill function stops and switches back to Auto. It doesn’t go to Stop but stays on Auto as if the hi sensor is being triggered but it’s not. Unless it is.. is it possible water is splashing on it or something? I’m gonna change the defer code to 30 seconds from 4 seconds and see if that helps. Anybody else have this issue? Or is it something else? I’m out of town now so I can only watch it from a webcam. Pretty annoying.
