Apex programming help: Skimmer delay

[BostonReefer300]

Hi Apex Experts,
I've programmed my skimmer outlet to be off with a delay after my feed cycle. How do I do the same anytime my system pump comes back on? I want to avoid skimmer hyperactivity while my sump level returns to normal operating height.
VIrtual beers for the help!
Many thanks!

The most common way to do this is to add a Defer timer so every time the skimmer is turned on, it has a delay. This example will turn off the skimmer any time the return pump is off, then once the return pump turns back on, the skimmer will delay 3 minutes before turning on.

If your return pump is programmed to turn off during Feed cycles, then there's no need to list any Feed programming on the skimmer itself since it's already following the return pump's status.

Fallback OFF
Set ON
If Output ReturnPump = OFF Then OFF
Defer 003:00 Then ON
