Hi. I am trying to use my conductivity probe to control my brine pump. Here are the issues.
1. when I program it as Condx4 - the command is rejected.
2. when I use "Cond" or "Salt" it takes the program, but, does not work correctly.

Example.

If Condx4 < 35.4 Then Off "ERROR" acceptable commands Cond... etc... etc... It will not accept this command line.

If Cond > 35.4 Then OFF
or
If Salt > 35.4 Then OFF - Apex will accept this command line. But, then ignores it.

Example, the Condx4 is 36.5 and the pump just stays ON.


Thoughts.

Why won't it take Condx4 as a command?
Are Cond, Salt and Condx4 the same thing, or no? If the same, then why is the conductivity being ignored?

Do I need to do this on a virtual outlet?

Can you post your full pump configuration? Thanks. This is what I use with a similar pump:

Fallback ON
Set OFF
If ORP > 440 Then OFF
If ORP < 300 Then ON
Defer 000:30 Then ON

Maybe you're just missing the ON command when Salt is < 35.4.
 
Here is what I have now, for outlet BRINE 2-2

Because Condx4 is > 35.2... I want the brine pump off... but it is on. I don't know if "Salt" is the same as "Condx4" and I can't get it to take Condx4 as a command.

HAH! Fixed it I think.

I changed the name of the probe from "Condx4" to "Salt"... and the brine pump shut off while in automatic mode.
