    Programming for RODI system

    So I have a solenoid controlling rodi Supply to my reservoir. It has an optical sensor at the 10 gal mark. I have it set so when the water drops below the solenoid opens and fills for 80mins which makes me about 12 gal of new water.

    I use the same reservoir to supply my mixing brute container. I have a VO as watermaker to manually tigger the solenoid so I can fill it to the 40 gal mark. I have a float value as mechanical backup.

    I wanted to see if I can use the VO to go longer than the 82 min max time I set on the solenoid. Here’s current programming.

    Thanks!

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If RODI_L OPEN Then ON
    If Output Watermaker = ON Then ON
    When On > 082:00 Then OFF
    Defer 001:00 Then ON
    Defer 000:04 Then OFF
    Min Time 080:00 Then ON

    Watermaker VO

    I used to have it as just a switch so
    Set Off

    Wondering if I can use
    Set ON
    When on > 180:00 Then OFF

    And just keep the outlet manually OFF.

    You can do that, but you need to also separate the RODI sensor into a separate VO as well using the same process as the water change VO if you want it to hard latch. If you want it to self reset so you don't have to baby it, use a defer then OFF and a when statement about 10 minutes longer like this

    ROstart
    Set OFF
    If Switchname OPEN Then ON
    Defer 082:00 Then OFF
    When On > 90:00 Then OFF

    So instead of If RODI_L I create a VO ?

    Thanks

    Yep. Anything that you want different between the two goes in a VO and anything you want identical can go in the physical outlet.
