Apex Wav

[killr66tb]

So I bought an apex with all the probes plus two wav pumps and I can't get it to do what I want I would like one to run for 30 seconds while the other one is off and then the other one to run for 30 seconds while the other one is off but can't seem to do that. Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi reefers you're my only hope

Simple way is to put one in pulse for 30 seconds and then the second pump put in inverse mode

 

[jschultzbass]

Sorry, if you want the pumps completely off during their "off" time then use Pipeline, not pulse.

 

[Muttley000]

Try putting one in pulse mode, if I remember right you can control the time, the other WAV should be able to be programmed inverse of the first.

 

[killr66tb]

All of that is true except you can't do 30 second intervals it will only allow 5 minute intervals

 

[killr66tb]

also with the Puls you can't do just two or three percent flow it has a mind of its own and goes up to 50% no matter how low you set it

 

[jschultzbass]

That's why you use Pipeline, it will turn off then. Also, when you choose pipeline, a box to the right will appear and will have 0.25 in it. Change that to 30. This box is in seconds. Then if you click the gear icon on the very left you can change the max power when the pump is on. Then change the time that you want it to start this Pipeline mode. A lot of people will mix it up and do different modes at different times of the day to more random flow. There are a couple youtube videos on it as well you can watch to get a better idea.

I like where you're going with this I'm going to give it a shot I'll let you know how it goes thank you Obi-Wan Kenobi reefer

 

[jschultzbass]

If you want it to go back and forth all day like this you're settings will look like this (80% is max speed of the pump, change this to whatever you like best):

 

[killr66tb]

wow that's really interesting I like it the only difference is I do want it to shut off at 9 and start all back up again at 9

 

[jschultzbass]

Then on the other pump put in those same times and choose inverse on the drop down menu. When you click on the gear you can add another point if you want to try different stuff.

 

[killr66tb]

Thank you for all your help

 

[jschultzbass]

No problem. Just play around and watch videos, you'll get the hang in no time. One more. If you want 9 to 9 you can try this:

Absolute perfection I love it

 

[killr66tb]

well it was not absolute perfection and didn't work there's something up with these way pumps you just can't get them to do what you want.

 

[killr66tb]

I just don't understand why they don't have a full customization area where you can just set your pumps up the way you want 30 seconds on at whatever you want on one side 30 seconds on the other side while the other ones off at whatever flow you want it shouldn't be that hard
