ATO switches malfunctioning
Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2013 2:53 pm
Hi there
Can someone please provide some guidance on float switches? I have 2 switches - one high level and one low level. I need the ATO pump to activate when the water level reaches (activates) the low level switch. Currently, the ATO is engaging when the water drops below the high level switch (i.e. the water level has not dropped below the low level switch). This is causing the ATO pump to activate at regular intervals. Is this a coding issue, or is there something wrong with the switches? My code is as follows: (thank in advance for the help)
