    Still have a question w/ neck cleaner

    I read the threads of my question stated above. i saw the code for it but is
    OSC 000:00/001:00/059:00 Then ON
    If FeedA 000 Then OFF
    is this a continuous code? or do i need to write it for every hour?
    Also i dont have a "feed" setup on my controller, i just hit the feed button on my diablo dc skimmer. Do i need to write that "if feed" code?
    i have not gotten my cleaner yet its still on back order but want to prepare for the instillation.

    The oscillate is a continuous loop cycle. In the code you posted it will run for 1 minute every hour....forever.

    You can just delete the Feed line of code. That single oscillate statement is all you need.

    Here's the code for my Swabbie - I run it for 5 minutes every 4 hours and shut it off if the skimmer is off for any reason:

    OSC 000:00/005:00/235:00 Then ON
    If Outlet Skimmer = OFF Then OFF
    Al

    How would you modify this :

    OSC 000:00/005:00/235:00 Then ON
    If Outlet Skimmer = OFF Then OFF

    if I only want it to come on twice a day for 1 minute?

    The Diablo feed control cannot interact with your Apex , it will only operate by itself . I have a similar set up , here is mine running for a minute every six hours :

    Fallback OFF
    OSC 359:00/001:00/000:00 Then ON
    If Outlet Skimmer_Air = OFF Then OFF
