Hello, Since I'm new to the Apex Controller, I would like to verify my dosing pump codes and assumptions with someone that has some experience with the Apex unit. I believe these are right, but it's my first time and I just want to double check. Thanks


[ALK]
Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/003:00/057:00 Then ON
If Time 09:00 to 22:59 Then OFF
If pH > 08.30 Then OFF

Assumption: Will turn on the pump at the beginning of each hour for 3 minutes between 11:00 pm and 8:59 am for a total run time of 30 minutes a day? Pump is off between 9:00 am to 10:59 pm. If the PH is above 8.3 then the pump is off, correct??


[CA]
Fallback OFF
OSC 030:00/003:00/027:00 Then ON
If Time 09:00 to 22:59 Then OFF

Assumption: Will turn on the pump at 30 minutes after the beginning of each hour for 3 minutes between 11:00 pm and 8:59 am for a total run time of 30 minutes a day? Pump is off between 9:00 am to 10:59 pm, correct??


Thanks again!!!
 
I'm not positive, but I believe for the Ca you would still want OSC 030:00/003:00/057:00 then ON.
I think the way you have it now it would turn on for 3 minutes every half hour.
Its been awhile since I had my dosing pumps running so you should get a second opinion before changing it.
 
I would submit that to neptune systems community site, they have a forum you can get all your answers to about your apex programming

I did just that and things were confirmed.

I also checked my outlet history this morning and things are cycling as expected. Thanks
