Hi everyone,
I was hoping some one could look over my code for 2 float switches. I decided to add a refugium and my sump dosent have the room for one. So I drilled out a old tank and have a pump pumping water into the refugium tank that has a drain on the side of the it. Of course my concern is the drain getting plugged and the whole thing overflowing. So I ordered a break out box and 2 float switches to try and advert disaster. This is the code I came up with. the defer time is to pump water into the tank as I plan on having some fish in there and dont want them to freeze in my basement. The tank will have about 6 in of water in it with the pump not running. If it gets clogged up again the float switches should trigger the pump to shut off and continue this pattern until I can get home and fix the problem.
Refugium pump
Set on
If Float1 closed Then off
if Float2 closed then off
Defer 045:00 Then ON
