    UV Light - 48 hr Newbie

    I did search before creating this post but, I did find a thread on a UV Lite. My water flow to the UV Lite run off a manfold off the main pump. I have the light currently setup to run always which is basically fine until a feed mode or maintenance window is needed. At that point I would like the light to turn off as to not meltdown or overheat and destroy the unit. Being super new I need help in getting the syntax right here.

    I would think a simple if Retpump on then on, if not the off would do. Also would like a 5 minute delay when the return pumps start back up.

    Please feel free to point me to anything where I can learn to program. I of course will start with the getting started but, would like to test out stopping the system like a feed mode cycle.

    Use the same format as a skimmer

    Fallback OFF
    Set ON
    If Output Returnname = OFF Then OFF
    If Power Apex Off 001 Then OFF
    Defer 005:00 Then ON

    Thank you Zombie. I do appreciate you time and help. I was close with what I came up with compared to what you have here and have found that the interface make programming much easier than I thought it was going to be. I guess you have to jump in sometimes.
