Hi,

Im Trying to code my apex so that my skimmer comes on around 17:00 when the PH starts to drop, however to turn off/not turn on if the PH of the tank is above 8.30 but to turn on if below 0.25 but only during the time frame of 17:00 to 08:00

I have coded the below, but it does feel right - can anyone with more expertise lend a hand?

Thanks

J

It did work, this morning The skimmer was still on past 08:00 so I added the code below;

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Time 17:00 to 08:00 Then ON
If PH < 8.25 Then ON
If PH > 8.30 Then OFF
If Time 08:01 to 16:59 Then OFF

Is there any Apex wiz's in the house
 
If your wanting the skimmer to run based on PH and only in a certain window, I'd do this:

Fallback OFF
Set Off
If Time 08:01 to 16:59 Then OFF
If PH < 8.25 Then ON
If PH > 8.30 Then OFF
Ill give that a whirl, cheers bud
