Check out the DOS manual. There is a sample program there.
Thanks

Better yet, just follow the DOS Get Started Guide. The DOS Manual states: Most DŌS users should use the wizard in APEX Fusion for setting up a schedule for dosing and/or automatic water change using the DŌS. The programming guidance in this section is recommended only for advanced users or those who have unusual needs.Check out the DOS manual. There is a sample program there.

Actually I had a question like this, but I wanted to know how to do advance programming to have one pump 1.1 gallons of water in and 1 gallons out over two hours at a certain time and only Monday Wednesday Friday.
so I got the AWC set up. only problem I'm having is when I go to turn the pump on to do a change manually and when I turn it back off the pumps will run in reverse. how do I stop this from happening
this is the programing. Only difference is one is add and one is remove

Is that the only interval?
Describe exactly what you mean by "turn the pump on to do a water change manually".

When I use the slider bar to go from auto to on. It turns on fine but when I set it back to auto the pumps will run in reverse at a fast rate of speed

Yes that's the only interval

ON for any outlet is a manual override of programming. For a DOS outlet, ON causes the pump to run in the forward direction at 25ml/min speed for 8 minutes then off for about 22 minutes then repeats. In general, ON should not be used for a DOS.
If you want a manual (on-demand) water change, you should program it to be activated by a Feed Cycle.
There used to be a bug (now resolved) that sometimes caused strange things to happen after a DOS outlet was set to ON then AUTO. You may be encountering that. Make sure that your Apex is running the latest system firmware and that your DOS module firmware is not OLD

My firmware up to date. How do I make it active with a feed cycle

Can someone help me with programming an AWC. I have one pump in my sump to remove the old salt water. Another pump in my fresh salt water bucket. I need help programming the OSW pump to come on Wednesday’s only for 15 seconds. Once the OSW pump shuts off then the NSW turns for the same amount of time.
Thank you
No. I haven’t spent the money to by it yet. Trying to use exciting pumps I had
That is a bad idea. Never run a non peristilic pump purely on timing for AWC. You will creep your salinity level and crash your tank if you don't pay close attention. the only way to make something like that work is to run the drain on set times only when water lever is correct and then allow the NSW pump to basically ATO during a small time window after the drain is finished.
You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
Is running the dos to do 3 gallons at one time too much? I set up my DOS to day and have set to do 3 gallon WC at one time...
Thanks
Matt
Ok I just reduced it to 2 gallons over 4 hrs
