    I want my skimmer to shut off whenever my main pump is off.


    Would this work?


    If Pump1_7_3 OFF then OFF





    Also I would like to have the skimmer stay off after my main pump starts again after a feed cycle.





    I don't really have a guess for this one.





    If FeedA 000 Then OFF + 00:05

    Here is my skimmer program


    Fallback OFF

    Set ON

    If Outlet Return = OFF Then OFF

    If FeedA 060 Then OFF

    If FeedB 240 Then OFF

    If Power Apex Off 005 Then OFF

    If Power EB8_4 Off 005 Then OFF

    Defer 002:00 Then ON







    Feed A the skimmer stays off for an hour, Feed B is stays off for 4 hours


    The defer statement keeps the pump off for 2 minutes after the return pump comes back on

    There are a lot of people that know far more about these things than me.

    Google is your friend. The availability of resources on the APEX is excellent. Just search for what you are wanting to do, and odds are that something will pop up.
