I added a float switch to my sump so if something major would go wrong (Pipe broke, etc) it would kill the return and aux feed pumps. I created a virtual outlet for the switch and added the following program:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If SumpLo CLOSED Then OFF
If SumpLo OPEN Then ON
If Outlet Water_Change = ON Then OFF

My question is on the "If Outlet Water_Change = ON Then OFF" line. I created another VO named Water_Change so I could turn that outlet on during water changes and it would not kill the pumps since I use them to pump water out.

Is the line in the correct place or does it need to move up in the program. I believe the last line overrides the code above but I just want to make sure I didn't screw something up.

Let me know if you need more info.
 
Its Fine
I would do the following though

Fallback On // You do not want the return pump to shut off just because the power bar looses controls with the brain.
Set OFF
If SumpLo OPEN Then ON
If SumpLo CLOSED Then OFF // The most important commands go last they will override any commands before it
If Outlet Water_Change = ON Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF //Shut off during feeding

This is the programming for my float switch VO so I want the fallback to be off.

Here is the programming for the return pump:
Fallback ON
Set ON
If FeedA 005 Then OFF
If FeedB 005 Then OFF
If FeedC 005 Then OFF
If FeedD 005 Then OFF
If Outlet Sump_Low = ON Then OFF
 
sorry missed that, I assumed it was an outlet because of the fallback and set statements.
