Hi Guys,

I setup a 5 minute feed mode that turns off the main return. I have the skimmer blackout time set to 5 mins but it turns on right away when the return comes back on. ( no delay )

This has to be simple, but I haven't wrapped my head around the programming yet.

Thanks

For anyone looking to do this, it is very easy.

I also have a "custom programing" set in to delay my skimmer stratup once the FP is done...

In Programing logic in G1:
Input = filter
Time = 120 sec.
function=delay On

set the skimer socket to: Programable Logic 1 (G1)

now the skimmer will start 2 min after the return pump
