    How to turn OFF the skimmer if my return Pump is less than 100%

    I use the FEEDER 4x a day

    OSC 000:00/000:30/000:30 Then ON
    If Time 00:00 to 08:00 Then OFF
    If Time 08:03 to 12:00 Then OFF
    If Time 12:03 to 16:00 Then OFF
    If Time 16:03 to 20:00 Then OFF
    If Time 20:03 to 00:00 Then OFF
    If FeedA 000 Then ON

    I use one of my variable 0-10V ports to control my Return-pump so that it ramps down to 10% 5 minutes prior to the FEEDER and back up to 100% 5 minutes after the feeder has finished.

    I want the Skimmer to turn off when the Return-pump is less than 100% so that it prevents the skimmer overflowing.
    Is there a less than command and if not how would be the easiest way to do it, rather than the big data table of all the times.

    Also, how could I set the alarm not to alarm not to alarm for the ATK high position when the return pump is less than 100%

    If Output Return percent < X Then OFF

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