    New to Apex 2016 - Programming Help

    Hello everyone, I just purchased my first Apex, a 2016 model. I need help programming code to shut off my return pump, chiller, and skimmer when a float switch closes as the water level in my sump drops. I’m looking to protect the pumps from running dry.

    The second programming code I’m looking to use is to shut off the same three devices to perform water changes/maintenance at the push of using one of the feed modes.

    I will appreciate all your help in achieving this automation on my Apex. I am very happy to have made the switch to a Neptune Apex, there is so much support and functionality available.

    Thank you,
    myelos70

    This is how I do mine. Create a virtual outlet. I'm calling it LowSump. This will shut everything down and then retry 2 hours later.

    LowSump
    Set OFF
    If SmpLow CLOSED Then ON
    Defer 000:30 Then ON
    Defer 120:00 Then OFF

    Return
    (Existing code)
    If Outlet LowSump = ON Then OFF

    Skimmer
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If Output Return = OFF Then OFF
    If Power Apex Off 001 Then OFF
    Defer 005:00 Then ON

    Chiller
    (Existing code for temp control)
    If Output Return = OFF Then OFF

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

    I think there's a typo here. Did you intend to put If Outlet LowSump = ON Then OFF?
    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.
