Quick Apex programming question for a water station pump

[Slevin007]

I want to make sure this pump, which I am using to feed fresh water to a bucket when I need it, is only on when I manually turn it on. This is the simple program I have

Fallback OFF
Set OFF

I’m assuming this is correct but I want to make sure it can’t somehow turn on and burn up the motor.

Thanks in advance

I added a manual valve on mine and also have a push button to press to turn the pumps on. I don't use a Apex so I cannot comment on that but it could not hurt to install a manual valve to keep it from emptying the container if it accidentally gets turned on.

Absolutely a great idea. I have one. This is really just to control the pump once I’ve adjusted the valves. :)

That code is good, it will keep the pump off if the EB832 looses connection with the APEX and when the power first comes on.

You might want to add a max time for the pump to run, this has saved me from many floods when I get distracted or walk away during a water transfer. I use the code below on my transfer pump. I switch the output to AUTO, the pump runs for 9:00 minutes then the output switches to OFF. In my case the 9:00 on time transfers about 2 gallons of water.

Fallback OFF
Set ON
When On > 009:00 Then OFF

Thank you so much. And great call on the time limit. I’ll add that now
Thank you
