Hey All,
Just wondering if there is a way to make the skimmer shut down if a Level 1 alarm activates on me due to the water being on too long. Level one is my ATO.

Just program the socket to be off if level is tripped

that is possible offcourse ...
But I like to know what the link is between een skimmer being off when a level sensor alarm triggers (ATO ) because its on to long ?
and the link is ?
Yes ATO was the problem but not. I have my Ato set to 10mins, i also have a relays in line with the power cords from that socket that restrict the on time to only 10 mins (had a powerbar relay stick once and pump 600L onto my carpet).
The other day basically my skip cup overflowed even though it has a drain line and flooded my carpet again. Although the ATO was still only on for the limited time the skimmer continued to drain the sump long after the ATO had alarmed. If the alarm even had triggered the skimmer to turn off i would have much less water on the floor to clean up.
Using some programmable logic and general alarm inverted seems to do the trick.
