We install a UV today and want to program the Neptune Apex and reaching out to see if anyone can help. I would like for the UV pump and UV to shut off if the return pump turns off and stay off for a few minutes after the return pump turns back on. Also, I would like to program the flow meter to either or both, alert us if the flow drops below a specific gph and if the flow meter drops to a lower gph, both the UV pump and the UV will shut off and stay off will someone can reset the issue. Can someone help?

Since I don't know the names of your outputs or flow sensor, I'll use some generic names (in bold) and you can adjust them to match your setup:

[UV_Light]
Fallback OFF
Set ON
If Output Return_Pump = OFF Then OFF
If UV_Flow < 100 Then OFF
Defer 002:00 Then ON

[UV_Pump]
Fallback OFF
Set ON
If Output Return_Pump = OFF Then OFF
If UV_Flow < 100 Then OFF
Defer 002:00 Then ON

[EmailAlm]
Set OFF
If UV_Flow < 100 Then ON

Question SuncrestReef, I have the same setup as you stated, we just did a water change and turn the pump back on. It has been over 10 mins and the UVpump and UV are not running. I was wondering because the program states either return pump OFF or flow < 100 OFF is present. Am I correct? if so, I will need to change that right?
