Apex ATO Programming Help

Psyire · #1 01-01-2013, 02:02 AM

Thanks for the example but I'm only using the Avast pressure switch and the mechanical float for a backup. I'm not to interested in buying more modules and float switches in order to program something similar to yours. My thinking was using timers to indicate whether something is wrong or not. Hence my 'strange' program..

I'm not too worried about my direct RO setup, I did it on a 180g for years without issue. I do have the mechanical float incase the solenoid sticks open and I'm using a very expensive stainless steel industrial solenoid.

I was just hoping someone could comment on my programming because I'm not 100% sure it's done right. I do appreciate the suggestions though and hope to get a few more

Have you tried Neptune's vendor support forum on RC? Someone there might be able to spot an issue in it with a quick glance.

Why do you only want your ATO to run at night? Are you using a kalkwasser reactor inline with it?

I didn't really get the answers I was looking for on RC, but I've now posted to the brand new Neptune Support forum so we'll see where that goes. I'm not currently running a kalk reactor but I find with only topping off at night I avoid a lot of the on/off cycling of my solenoid and potentially avoiding some of that TDS creep you mentioned. With only evaporating around 1/3 gallon a day I'm sure my RO unit only kicks on every three days or so as my pressure tank takes up some of the slack.
