    Maintenance without Alarms

    I have created a Virtual Outlet "Maintenance" so that I can do routine maintenance.
    During the maintenance I want to be able to turn off my Ext_Filter without getting bombarded with email warnings because the flow has stopped, however I want to make sure that just in case something else goes wrong, i.e. I develop a leak somewhere, water level gets too low, etc that I will still get a warning for these other issues.
    Is this possible?
    Below is what I currently have programed for my email alarm and the ext filter.

    EmailAlm_I5
    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If FLOW > 300 Then ON
    If FLOW < 200 Then ON
    If Output Maintenance = ON Then OFF
    If pH > 8.00 Then ON
    If pH < 6.90 Then ON
    If Temp_1 > 80.0 Then ON
    If Temp_1 < 75.9 Then ON
    If Leak_L CLOSED Then ON
    If Leak_R CLOSED Then ON
    If H2O_Lo OPEN Then ON

    Ext_Filter
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If H2O_Lo CLOSED Then ON
    If H2O_Lo OPEN Then OFF
    If Leak_L CLOSED Then OFF
    If Leak_R CLOSED Then OFF
    If Output Maintenance = ON Then OFF

    What you show will technically work, however if there are many more of this kind of scenario, you will be unable to do so. The better way IMO to do flow alarms is like this in a virtual outlet. The one drawback is it wont list the flow value in the alert, but the cleanliness and guaranteed compatibility is worth losing that IMO.

    LowFlow
    Set OFF
    If Flow < X Then ON
    If Output outletname = OFF Then OFF
    Defer 000:10 Then ON

    Email
    If Output LowFlow = ON Then ON
