Setting a delay for skimmer?
I would like to setup both my feed and maintenance settings so that my skimmer comes on 1 minute after my return pump.

Skimmer is current assigned to S10 with the function of always on.

I tried using the blackout delay, but it doesn't look to work for feed or maintenance.

Please advise.

Thanks

the "blackout delay" works only after a blackout

but you could use the programmable logic:
function: delayed on
time: 60s
input: filter

and then assign "logic 1" to socket 10

Thanks, works perfectly with feed but not maintenance.

Anyway to get it to do the same for maintenance?

So if I wanted to delay my skimmer by 1hr when I hit the "esc" button to enable the feeding pause I would do the following.

Input: Filter
Function: Delayed On
Time: 3600s
Then assign "logic 1" to the socket the skimmer is plugged into.

Correct?

Yes, that correct.

Yep! I set mine for 2hrs (7200 seconds)

Anyone know how to do this for a maintenance cycle (not feed cycle)... I want my skimmer to come on 10 minutes after my water change has completed.

Thanks

are we talking about maintenance or AWC?

For maintenance.

I do manual water changes... What I would like to do is have my current pumps, ATO pump, return pumps, heaters and skimmer pumps all turn off when I select maintenance 1. This I have done with a 60 minute timer applied.

Now what I would like to have is my skimmer pump and ATO pump to delay starting by 10 minutes when maintenance has ended, but all remaining sockets to return to their normal state.
