    Atk help

    Got my apex hooked up and installed my ATK.
    The AtK wants to top off my tank every 20-30 minutes but the pump won’t turn on.
    I am guessing it’s because of line 8 in picture

    Should I change it to half hour or let it top off every hour?

    If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

    If your evaporation rate is high enough that the low sensor is uncovered in 20 minutes, I would not change the Min Time (which by design prevents the ATK from operating again for 60 minutes after it last ran).

    Instead of allowing it to run more often, I would allow the ATK to run for a bit longer each time. Change the Defer 000:04 Then OFF to Defer 000:06 Then OFF. If that causes the water level to hit the upper sensor (not likely), back the Defer down to 5 seconds.
    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.

    @RussM I changed the defer slowly every couple days and now I’m at difer 20 then off to get it from trying to top off with in 1 hour. Water level with difer 20 then off puts water level Mid sensor 1 or just over.
    Mostly runs about every 1 hr 30 sometimes 1 hr or 2 it will turn on.
    Is this sound ok?

    Sensor 1 will bounce open closed for 15-30 minutes before pump turns on

  2. Can the ATK be run with the PMUP plugged into a DC24v port instead of powering the ATK with AC?
