    I do this. It turns the skimmer off as soon as the return turns off and leaves it off for 1 minute after it comes back on.

    The reason for the FeedB line is that I use that for my maintenance mode and when I change water I fill the sump and manually turn the return on to shift it into the display part way through the WC and I don’t want the skimmer to turn on when this happens. The second line ensures the skimmer stays off when the return is off OR when maintenance mode is on.

    [Skimmer]
    Fallback OFF
    Set ON
    If Outlet ReturnPump = OFF Then OFF
    If FeedB 000 Then OFF
    Defer 1:00 Then ON
