Program for klir-7 filters

[((FORDTECH))]

Hello I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a program for my apex to turn on a outlet 4x a day for only few seconds like 3-4 seconds. I’m thinking it be easiest to have the 4x a day being 12,6,12,6 but would be nice if I could stagger the time from midnight,6,noon,6 to like 2,8,2,8 if possible. Thanks for any help.

The OSC command is perfect for this.

This example will run it for 3 seconds at midnight, 6am, noon, 6pm:

Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/000:03/359:57 Then ON

This example will run it for 3 seconds at 2am, 8am, 2pm, 8pm:

Fallback OFF
OSC 120:00/000:03/239:57 Then ON

Watch my OSC Tutorial video for an explanation of how it works:

might be a stupid question but are you going to use the above code instead of utilizing the water level sensors which the Klirs have?

Yes 100% I have had way to many issues with the sensors retaining water droplets or condensation using up 1/4-1/2 role at a time. Also many issues with the fleece not getting used up enough for my liking. There is light tea colored used fleece then there is dark brown fully used fleece which is what I’d rather have. I experimented with this on one of the 4 klir-7 that I run I only needed that filter to turn 2x a day for few seconds so that program was easy to write. After few months of doing it like that on the one klir I am much happier with it. I noticed less snags of the fleece and more Thurrell usage of the fleece. And number 1 I noticed never had a full role spin due to sensor malfunction.

Is there any way to turn an outlet on only 1x a day for 40 seconds? The OSC programs only allow on times for less then 1 min but must be 2x a day not 1x. Thanks for any help

You can combine the If Time command (which can only go as low as 2 minutes) with a Defer delay to result in 40 seconds once per day:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Time 12:00 to 12:01 Then ON
Defer 001:20 Then ON

The values in If Time are inclusive, so it will try to turn on at 12:00:00 and remain on through 12:01:59, then turn off at 12:02:00, but the 1:20 Defer delay forces it to wait to turn on at 12:01:20.

Just adjust the times to your preference.
