Apex Skimmer Help

[gnomer]

Hey Guys,
I'm new to the forum and new to the world of Apex.
I wanted to see if there was a better way to tweak this. This is my current notification triggers on my virtual output for my skimmer.
Occasionally I find myself in a situation where the overflow filter gets a little clogged causing a slight reduction in return volume. The ATO sees this and tops off accordingly. The issue I intercept is when I clear said blockage now I am over level for the sump triggering notifications. The level over isn't substantial to cause problems, but it is enough to cause the skimmer to turn off(unfortunately my skimmer does not sit in a level stable chamber in the sump).

The ATO I am currently using is from Avast marine using their pressure switch. I have been debating swapping to Neptunes ATK, but at the moment I don't see a need/reason.

My current skimmer virtual output looks as follows:
Set OFF
If Output Skimmer = ON Then OFF
If Output Skimmer = OFF Then ON
If Output Maintenance = ON Then OFF
Defer 005:00 Then ON
If FeedA 005 Then OFF


Skimmer Output:
Fallback OFF
Set ON
If LvlSns > 6.5 Then OFF
If LvlSns < 5.5 Then OFF
If Output ReturnPmp = OFF Then OFF
If Output Maintenance = ON Then OFF
If FeedA 005 Then ON

My Email notification output looks like this(probably needs tweaking too):
Set OFF
If Output SkimmerNotif = ON Then ON
If Output HeaterNotify = ON Then ON
If Output LvlSnsNot = ON Then ON
If Output Maintenance = ON Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If Output LeakNotify = ON Then ON


I don't need repeat notifications, I would like for it to notify me once then stop. Then once evap clears the issue or I manually clear it the alarm can be cleared. Is this a possibility?


Thanks for any suggestions!!

I did forget to add my skimmer is on a redundant configuration as well. This is because I have had a history of skimmer overflows that resulted in wet carpets. The skimmer relies on the levelsensor via apex as shown above, however I also run my skimmer on a float switch that is set slightly lower than the level set on the apex. The apex will allow the outlet to activate at the specified levels, then once the float drops it will actually turn the skimmer on. For now, this is just giving me piece of mind. The end goal is to rely on one device(apex level sensor) and the pressure switch in the davy jones skimmate locker.

Bump with updated coding
I added in a co2 scrubber. For now it is the primary air source while I wait for solenoids and DC24 bare cables to get delivered.

I believe the "when on" command is what I was looking for to defer future outage notifications, however my question becomes if its pushed to "off" will other triggers still function?

Skimmer output code:
Fallback OFF
Set ON
If LvlSns > 6.7 Then OFF
If LvlSns < 4.5 Then OFF
If Output ReturnPmp = OFF Then OFF
If Output Maintenance = ON Then OFF
If pH > 8.35 Then OFF
If pH < 8.25 Then ON
If FeedA 005 Then ON

Skimmer notification voutlet:
Set OFF
If Time 23:00 to 07:00 Then OFF
If Output Skimmer = ON Then OFF
If Output Skimmer = OFF Then ON
If Output Maintenance = ON Then OFF
Defer 005:00 Then ON
If FeedA 005 Then OFF
If pH > 8.30 Then OFF
If pH < 8.30 Then OFF
When On > 010:00 Then OFF

Email Notification:
Set OFF
If Output SkimmerNotif = ON Then ON
If Output HeaterNotify = ON Then ON
If Output LvlSnsNot = ON Then ON
If Output Maintenance = ON Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If Output LeakNotify = ON Then ON
