1 my return pump is not apex controlled.
2 there is a flow sensor in line with the return pump and connected to the Apex
2 my skimmer is connected to an apex outlet

To prevent the skimmer from overflowing I would like Apex to turn the skimmer off when the flow is low or 0 (because the sump level rises. Once the flow returns the sump will go to normal level in a few minutes. after a delay I want the skimmer to restart automatically

I have been working with Apex support and came up with this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fallback OFF

Set ON (sets skimmer on)

IF GPH <200 then off (turns off the skimmer if flow less than 200 gph)

Defer 05:00 then on (waits 5 minutes from when flow returns)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
will this work if put into outlet the skimmer is attached to?
 
Yes, your code is correct, assuming "GPH" is the name of your flow sensor input.
 
yep GPH is the flow sensor thanks
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it
