I haveade a self cleaning system for my skimmer using a pmup and spray nozzles from a misting system. I cannot figure out how to program the pmup. I would like it to come on 3 times a day for about 30 seconds if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This should work for what you're looking to do. Neptune only works on minute intervals and use the whole minute programmed. So if you do this: "If Time 08:00 to 08:01 Then ON" it's on for 2 minutes. The 8:00 minute and the 8:01 minute. You then need to defer 1:30 so it's on only 30 seconds. Try it. At worst it will be on a full minute.

Whatever outlet you're using, set it to advanced and do the following.

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Time 08:00 to 08:01 Then ON
Defer 001:30 Then ON

If Time 012:00 to 012:01 Then ON
Defer 001:30 Then ON

If Time 016:00 to 016:01 Then ON
Defer 001:30 Then ON

Thank you very much. I was able to get in touch with Apex and if you ever need help hope you get Shelby she is awesome. So far it looks like it will work great. I need to dial it in as far as how often and how long to run it. I am excited to not have to clean a nasty skimmer cup anymore.

That's great! Hope it works as planned.
