    Turn on Skimmer 10min for 25 and 55

    My friend and I are struggling to program the Skimmer.
    We want to turn on Skimmer for 10min every 25 and 55.
    Here is what I want to do. Try to use OSC, but does not make it happen.

    7:25am Turn on Skimmer
    7:35am Turn off Skimmer
    7:55am Turn on Skimmer
    8:05am Turn off Skimmer
    8:25am Turn on Skimmer
    8:55am Turn off Skimmer
    repeat...

    This might sound stupid or ignorant , why would you want to operate a skimmer this way ? Why not start it at the bottom or top of the hour ? I have mine running 24/7 , never stop ; i have never heard of a skimmer being operate like that .

    Some people do not run skimmer 24/7. It is personal choice.

    Turn on Skimmer 10min for 25 and 55

    Fallback OFF
    OSC 5:00/20:00/5:00 Then OFF

    As Alain implied, it's easier to do it at the top and bottom of the hour:

    Fallback OFF
    OSC 0/10:00/20:00 Then ON
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.
