Skimmer (((APEX)) Off and On

[jphilip813]

Good afternoon all, I am trying have the following done with my Skimmer. If I turn off the Return Pump for maintenance, then the Skimmer turns off and turns back on 5 minutes AFTER the return pump turns back on. In addition, when I hit Virtual Feed A, the SKIMMER turns off for 30 minutes and automatically turns back on. Finally, if Water Temp raises above 82.8 Degrees, Skimmer will Turn OFF, until temperature falls below 82.5 degrees. Is this possible or am I way off. Here is my code if ANYONE can assist, it would be greatly appreciated

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Output Main_Pump = OFF Then OFF
Defer 005:00 Then ON
If FeedA 005 Then OFF
If Tmp > 82.8 Then OFF

Hopefully somebody more experienced then I will chime in but I think your close. I think you want the Fallback and Set to be ON. Otherwise when your temp goes above 82.8 it'll turn off but it'll never turn back on because there is no statement to turn it back on when the temp goes lower and the fallback and set are both OFF. I think that may impact the Feed mode one as well.

Here's my programming for my skimmer. I don't have the tmp option and my PumpButton is a virtual outlet hooked up to a switch on my breakout box.

Fallback ON
Set ON
If Output ReturnPump = OFF Then OFF
Defer 005:00 Then ON
If Output PumpButton = ON Then OFF

Huff747, Thanks for your response, I actually figured it out after reading several forums all day today. Tested it out and it worked...really appreciated you replying.

Fallback ON
Set ON
If Output Main_Pump = OFF Then OFF
Defer 005:00 Then ON
If FeedA 005 Then OFF
If Tmp > 83.0 Then OFF
