I'm trying to get my new dos to work for an AWC Monday thru Friday. And not do Saturday and Sunday.
I set up 2 pump profiles, remove and add.
I have a float valve so when water is low it shuts off the awc.

Everytime I do - mtwtf- and upload it says successful. I get out and back in and this is what I have in the picture. I tried to put it at the end of the lines also with the same problem.
What is the problem?

Never mind.
I didn't know you program each individual head for this.
What is the dose outlet for? Can't see any usefulness for it.
If you have to program each head why would they have the other Outlet?
 
For the DOW command, you need to specify which days to activate based on the letter of the day. For example, if you want your DOS to run normally on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, then use this to tell it which days to remain off:

If DOW S-T-T-S Then OFF

The dashes represent the days that you don't want to interrupt the DOS; Mon, Wed, Fri are not listed, so the DOS will run normally on those days.
 
Thanks suncrestreef.
I followed your tutorial, done some other research, ect.
Not sure what's going on now. I thought I had solved the issue but the command won't stick.
Here's what's going on.
I type the command, send it to the cloud.
Exit from apex and reenter. And it doesn't stick. I think I'm missing something. Wrong dash, can't do it on a phone? I've done this a dozen times now. Should I just open a ticket?

You need to use UPPER CASE letters in the DOW command for each day. Notice how the text editor automatically color-codes the text when entered correctly:

Any text in a gray or black font is invalid.
 
Why is my dos running now simultaneously?
It's set up to remove between 1:30 and 3:30 and add new saltwater between 3:30 and 5:30.
Here it is after 5:30 and they are both running at the same time.
Here is my limited history, this past Thursday it's all set up but I have the wrong time so in the a.m. it ran instead of p.m.. but it works flawlessly. So I fix that Friday and it worked perfectly in the afternoon exactly as I set it up.
Skip Saturday and Sunday as intended.
Monday comes and it says doesn't work. Today I noticed that it said it was disconnected. After a minute research, I checked the cable. It was loose. That was today when I got home from work at 3:30. I had to run to the dentist I get home at almost 5 and I hear one kick on. It's the remove water head. I don't know why. So I'm putzing around the house and I hear it kick on again. I run downstairs in the basement where it is and I see the remove water is on again. While I'm watching it, the add new water kicks on. So they're both running simultaneously.
I'm extremely confused at this point.

One more thing, I removed the lines that's said when time is* turn on.
Not sure if that had something to do with it. But as you can see it clearly states when they should turn on.

Had to shut off dos, it just keeps adding 200ml every 15 minutes
