    Delay outlet off

    I have a jbj auto top off currently attached to my apex because I had it before the apex... currently I have kalk in my ato and because of the location of my probes and the outlet of the ato my ph probe spikes every time it turns on. I have added a piece of code to turn my ato off if it reaches a certain ph but because of this setup it is constantly turning it off... Is there a way to set it up so that it has to be at that lvl for say 20 seconds before it shuts off the ato... the defer on command is because the jbj dumps a small amount when first turned on so it was in a continuous cycle before of on off on off...

    Fallback OFF
    Set ON
    If pH > 8.40 Then OFF
    Defer 040:00 Then ON

    To do what you are asking, all that is needed is to add

    Defer 000:20 Then OFF

    For a 20 second wait.



    With that said, you would be so much better off connecting the JBJ floats to a breakout box and doing the whole ATO in your apex. That will give you alerts when floats fail, better control over Kalk dosing amounts, and customizable maximum runtime that will send you alerts when it happens.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
