Programming Flow sensor to Control skimmer

[Dr RBG]

This may be a double post for which I apologize:rolleyes:

I am trying to control my skimmer by a flow sensor so that when it reads 0 flow it turns the skimmer on 15 minutes after the flow sensor reads a positive flow. I have been reading stuff here, but I get lost with the code and where and how it is entered. On the outlet for the skimmer or the flow sensor. I know it is asking a lot but I need step-by-step inst.

Thanks

Why would you want to turn your skimmer on and off?

Which controller are you trying to program?

The sump fills when the pump is off and there is 0 flow. this causes the skimmer to overflow due to the increased level of water in the sump

Off the top of my head .....

FALLBACK OFF
SET OFF
IF FLOW > 0 THEN ON
DEFER 015:00 THEN ON
