    2 physical switches to 1 pump

    ok, I have the Neptune atk pump on link B.
    I use this pump for doing new saltwater prep work. aka I have programming to auto-fill a 5gal bucket with optical sensors. I use the ATK pump to stir in the salt before pumping to the tank. I have a physical switch on a breakout box I can turn the pump on and off. This allows me to stir in the salt. I have a 2nd physical switch I want to use as a top off.

    so Switch one just turns the pump on or off to stir in the salt. This is attached to a Virtual output with the programming.
    Switch 2 is used for when I attache the pump to the sump after pulling out old saltwater. I attached a the sump fill pipe to the ATK pump. I can fill the sump to the optical sensor in the sump.

    I can do all this but currently, I have Link B as my on of salt mix. Then I have to move to ATK pump to Link A for the sump filling. I want to keep the pump on Link B just use the different switches for different tasks


    Aka
    link B
    If output SW-mix = ON Then ON
    If output SW-Fill = on then on
    if output SW-mix = off then off
    if output SW-fill = off then off

    I don't understand why this does not work.

    With that programming, both virtual outputs would need to be ON for the pump to be energized. Use this instead:

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Output SW-mix = On Then ON
    If Output SW-Fill = On Then ON
    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.
