    COR-20 + Skimmer + Feed Cycle...

    Need some help understanding if I'm going about this the right way. I have a COR-20 pump as my main return pump, I then have my Skimmer connected to my EB832:
    COR-20 Power = EB832 Outlet 3
    Skimmer Pump = EB832 Outlet 6
    Skimmer Air Pump = EB832 Outlet 5

    I want to make sure that when I hit Feed A, I bring the COR-20 down as well as the Skimmer (I believe it's okay to just cut the Air Pump). Then when the timer runs out for the Feed cycle the COR-20 will fire back up[, and then five (5) minutes later the Skimmer will come back on.

    My issue is do I control this by controlling the outlets with something like this:

    [Skimmer Air]

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

    Or does the Apex have a nifty way of doing this since I'm using a COR-20 pump?

    I know this is probably confusing, but I appreciate any point int he right direction here...

    Thanks

    You're on the right track, but you don't need to use the outlet state with the COR. That can be left Always ON or you can just plug it into the wall.

    In the COR itself use either (set up IQ to use first line)

    If FeedA 000 Then 1

    Or

    If FeedA 000 Then OFF



    In the skimmer instead of the outlet line, use

    If Output CORname Percent < X Then OFF


    Where X is less than the lowest "normal" setting you will use on the COR.

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

    Perfect!! I figured there must be something since the system is aware of the COR's state.

    I appreciate the help!!
