This is the code im using now
If Tmp > 81.0 Then OFF
If Tmp < 80.5 Then ON
If Output MainPump1 = OFF Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
Defer 060:00 Then ON


My problem is the Skimmer will defer 1 hour anytime its shut off, but i only want it to stop for an hour when I use feed A.

Well you are telling it to defer for 1 hr so.. maybe change it to the amount of time you want it to defer.

I want it to defer for one hour, but only when using "Feed A" not any other time its shut off.
Then you need to put that in the feed side. The defer is the amount of time you want the device to stay off after an event. So when you select feed A= 1hr it will stay off for 1 hr. Then after the 1hr it will stay off additional time= defer time.

This will delay the skimmer for 5 minutes after the return pump comes back on, but 1 hour for Feed A (55 minutes + the 5 minute Defer)


If Tmp > 81.0 Then OFF
If Tmp < 80.5 Then ON
If Output MainPump1 = OFF Then OFF
If FeedA 055 Then OFF
Defer 005:00 Then ON
