I have a kalk stirrer, it uses a peristaltic pump to put kalk into the tank. I want it to drip from 11 pm to 11 am. I also want it to shut off if the sump pH goes over 8.2. Here is how I have it programmed... but it seems to just run 24 hours no matter what. I tried adding the third line to make it shut off after 11 am, but, it is still staying in the ON position, now at 12:51 pm. The sump pH is 8.01.

Fallback OFF
If pH-smp > 8.20 then OFF
If Time 23:00 to 11:00 then ON
If Time 11:01 to 22:59 then OFF

Which outlet are you using? On the older EB8, you have to use #4 or #8 for low power draw equipment. Or, try adding Set OFF as the second line.
