    Help programing float switch for skimmer fill

    Hello All:

    I hooked-up a float switch to my BOB, and Fusion named it Swx6_1.

    I am trying to get my skimmer to shut down when the switch is triggered (the name for that program is "Skimmer_Fill")

    This is the program I tried that doesn't work:
    Fallback OFF
    Set ON
    If Swx6_1 OPEN Then OFF
    Defer 030:00 Then OFF

    Thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

    Thanks!

    Jeff

    The Defer is telling it not to shut off until the switch has been OPEN for 30 minutes.
    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.

    Yes, maybe you mean 30 seconds, 000:30. But IMO, as soon as my res is full with skim juice I want the skimmer off cause most of the time it's filling quickly like when you put epoxy in there or something and 30 seconds for me would be a mess.
