I want to simplify my advanced feed mode settings. As of right now I have skimmer turning off with FeedA FeedB etc, and then varfeed for auto feeding, and Feed Button from a switch.

Can I remove all this code and just use
If return <75 then off
Differ 10 min then on

Running a cor pump that runs on 75 and feed modes send it to 1. Any issue with this or keep all the lines of code for “safety” or something like cor speed doesn’t register fast enough to keep the skimmer from overflowing when slowing down.
 
Follow up questions.
1) programming my cor pump, everytime I set a speed for fallback, it erases it when I come
Back in. Is this normal?
2) can I have sW control a virtual output? I’m trying to have a feed button switch trigger my virtual output. Everytime I save it, it goes to if feeds on then off.

For anyone having a similar issue. Looks like certain naming schemes can affect programming. Naming the switch FeedSW is not allowed in apex. See screenshot from apex support.
