Alternate between 2 pump modes at set interval?

I have been looking at PaulTurner911s code for his pumps and I am looking to do something similar. Basically I would like to have one pump do a long pulse between 30% and 80% with 2 second pulses while the other pump is at a constant 30%. After 1 hour I would like the pumps to switch so the constant...

Re: Serious ATO issues

Everything is stock. The only add-on I have is the WiFi attachment.

Re: Serious ATO issues

I uploaded the controller test code and went through all the ports. What I noticed was when I turn on port 6(skimmer), port 8(ATO pump) also turns on. I didn't even make it all the way to port 8 before the pump started pumping. I went to port 7 and port 6 and 8 were still on even though they showed ...

Re: Serious ATO issues

I have just added that in to my code based off of where it is in the preloaded code. This did not resolve the issue. One thing I did notice is the pump doesn't turn on until the delayed ports turn on. Below is my new code: #include <ReefAngel_Features.h> #include <Globals.h> #include <RA_Wifi.h> #in...

Re: Serious ATO issues

New development. I was watching TV and I heard a "grinding" sound coming from the fish tank. I checked the tank and the sound was coming from the relay box. The relay was turning on and off very rapidly. Not sure how I should proceed now but I assume something is not right.

Re: Serious ATO issues

Thanks for the help. I'll give that a go and see what happens. My concern is if this happens again while I am away. Is this a somewhat common problem? Is there anyway this can be avoided?

Re: Serious ATO issues

I shut all the pumps off during a water change so yes the water level in the sump raises but that should trigger the ATO high switch, not the ATO low. Not sure what you mean here. The 20 minute timeout was based on trial and error it could probably be lowered a bit but it was working fine for a week...

Serious ATO issues

After a water change today my ATO decided to kick on and luckily only dumped 2-3 gallons of water in my sump. The water change was from the display tank so it shouldn't have triggered the low switch to start the pump. Prior to this the ATO has been working fine for about a week. Now the ATO will not...

Re: Weird PH probe issue

Will do! Thanks for the fast response. I assume this is to try and eliminate stray voltage as being a cause?

Weird PH probe issue

I searched the forum and couldn't really find anything regarding this problem. My PH probe appears to be working fine for the most part, however I am getting dips down to 6.32. The dips appear to be 6.32 every time but they occur at random times in the day. The PH probe is relatively close to a Tunz...
