    Set SV-1 Solenoids to be on certain days

    Hey all,

    I am brand new to Apex. Installed my 2016 model a week ago and have slowly been converting everything over to the controller. So far love it... Especially since I finally figured out the stupid salt probe!

    Anyway..
    I currently use a single solenoid valve on an outlet timer for my ATO reservoir to be filled 15 minutes at a time Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I just purchased 2 SV-1 valves and need to set them up. Planning to have one valve connected to the bypass on my RO/DI so the system will purge for 2 minutes (to prevent tds creep), then open the other valve for 15 minutes to fill the reservoir.

    Based off the research I've done, Here is the code for the valves. Look correct?

    RO/DI bypass:

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Time 11:58 to 12:00 Then ON
    If DoW S-T-T-S Then OFF



    ATO reservoir fill up:

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Time 12:00 to 12:15 Then ON
    If DoW S-T-T-S Then OFF

    You want this instead to do exactly what you asked to have happen. With that said, I would strongly suggest purchasing some float switches and a breakout box if you dont already have one so you can actually fill based on level instead of guessing and hoping the manual float valve does its job.

    RO/DI bypass:

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Time 11:58 to 11:59 Then ON
    If DoW S-T-T-S Then OFF



    ATO reservoir fill up:

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Time 12:00 to 12:14 Then ON
    If DoW S-T-T-S Then OFF

    Excellent, Thank you.
    I do plan on purchasing the switches and FMM very soon.
    Cheers!

    Float switches cannot be used with the FMM

    To use float switches, you need a breakout-box, not a FMM.

    If you want to use optical sensors instead of float switches, then you’d use a FMM.
    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.

    Yeah, that's what I meant. Was just reading about both.
