Feed cycles

coolhand · Jul 5, 2017

Can anyone tell me the difference in the default feed cycles a, b, c and d in fusion. I've always just used a and I was wondering if the others used a different time setting or if they turned powerheads off too or if there's any difference at all.

Thanks

It is all in how you program them, they can do whatever you want. Me personally, I use:
Feed A: 10 minute shut down of return pump, UV and skimmer....I don't use this one for feeding, just maintenance.
Feed B: 10 minute shut down of just skimmer...I use this to clean the skimmer cup and change out my filter socks.
Feed C: Manually dose 1 liter of RO/DI water.
Feed D: Manually dose 1 liter of salt water.

I understand that you can program them. I'm wondering about the default presets

On your computer, go into Apex Classic (not fusion) and then go to the Configuration Menu then scroll down to the "Feed Interval X (m)" The number you enter for each on is in minutes. For some odd reason, I can no longer get to this via the Display menu. Sadly this is not accessible through Fusion. I though all the defaults were 0 minutes but I can be very well wrong on that.
