I recently got an old Aqua Jr controller and am having difficulty programming this thing. Anyone familiar with this please help. I can't figure out how to program for outlets just to stay on, no timer just on. This is for my skimmer and wave makers and return pump. Any help would be appreciated! Here's a pic of the head unit.

I don't know if you've already checked it out, but the Neptune forum has a lot of info - https://forum.neptunesystems.com/. I've never used any of their legacy systems, but from I've read, it's much the same. I use the below for something I want running. I highly advise reading the forum though. You'll want to put a delay on your skimmer if you have an outage.

Fallback ON
Set ON

Is the delay to compensate for inrush current for all the AC pumps kicking on?

It's not needed if you don't have a back syphon from the display to the sump if there's an outage. Since there is on my setup, I put a 3 min delay on the skimmer. Otherwise your skimmer may overflow.

If Time > 00:00 Then XXX ON

XXX is whatever you name the outlet the skimmer or return pump is plugged into. Also "select' then "control and status" select and "manual control" turn it On all the time
