I am setting up my kalk stirrer an I want it to stir every 2 hours for 5 mins . I also want it to not stir if PH is above 8.4 . I can’t not seem to figure out the OSC time .
Thanks for any help in advance

as an option

fallback off
Set off
OSC 000:00/005:00/115:00 Then ON
If PH > 8.4 Then OFF

basically it starts immediately
on for 5 minutes
off for 115 minutes
(total cycle =120 minutes (2 hours)
If Ph > then 8.4 then OFF is a hard stop and overrides the OSC

Thank you I will give it a try . One more question if you don’t mind . If I want my skimmer to only come on during the day would I have to use the OSC or if time program

Fallback Off
Set Off

If Time 08:00 to 20:00 Then ON

then you can also add
If PH > then 8.45 Then OFF

Is there a way to have 2 float switches control one outlet . Basically I have a RO top off container and I have a RO holing tank . I have a float switch in each on but I also have a booster pump . What I am wanting to do is if switch 1 open that it turns on my booster pump EB1 and my solenoid for RO unit EB2 the fills my top off . Then I want switch 2 to turn on EB1 and then turn on my other solenoid on EB3 . Is that even possible

I am not as good with this one -- so I would check this and I might not be understanding what you are trying to do ---- maybe someone else can chime in on this one

so I am getting that/understand is
if float 1 is open then the booster on _ solenoid A is ON and then if float 2 is open then booster on solenoid B is on --

so then Sw1 = Float in RO holding tank
Sw2 - float in top-off container
OPEN = low water (needs filling)

so code(s) would be

1) booster pump (say plug one on your EB832 or EB8)

Fallback OFF
Set OFF

If Sw1 OPEN Then ON
If Sw2 OPEN Then ON
Defer 001:00 Then ON
When On > 030:00 Then OFF

(basically if either container needs water the pump runs)
(when on statement - cuts off power/booster - if RO/DI water runs to much - small safety feature for flood/leak protection)

2) Solenoid for RO Holding tank (plug 2 on your EB832 or EB8)
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Sw1 OPEN Then ON

(only responds to Float 1)

3) Solenoid for Top-Off Chamber Container (plug 3 on your EB832 or EB8
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Sw2 OPEN Then ON
(only responds to float 2)
