    ATO and Main Pump

    If I shut down my main pump for something.. The water will fill the sump... When I turn the main pump back on the water level goes down in the sump lower then normal till the return drains get flowing again. How can I get the ATO to not start putting water in for 2 min or so after the main pump turns back on and everything is back normal. This will happen during feed mode as well.

    Thanks

    Whenever asking for assistance with modifying programming, you need to post that programming up front, along with anything else you think might be helpful to those who might wish to help you. Without that information, we can only guess at what you have, which might result in you getting a generic answer or one that is not suitable or applicable for your system. Posting the programming will aid others in giving you a specific and accurate answer.
    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.
