Hi everyone,
My AWC system has worked well for months, but for the past few months it is not happening at the correct times. I currently have it set to do a water change starting at 21:00 and ending at 21:30 everyday. My problem is the output for the AWC drain pump (drains water out of the sump) never turns on at 21:00 but turns on at random times during the day. The water change always completes itself correctly with the correct levels and resulting salinity, but I want to be able to predict and know when it will happen as I should be able to. Any ideas on how to do this?

For background information:
Tank is 65g and attached 25g cube with sump
Running a control X4, two power strips (though one stopped connecting and I can't reconnect it for the life of me)
WiFi feeder

Let me know if anyone wants any screenshots of my settings if that helps. Thanks in advance!
 
Did you check the time zone setting on the options page? What do you have it set to?

Also the full or high sensor has to be wet for it to start the drain. If it is not it won't start until the full or high sensor is wet. You are using the ATO function within the AWC for ATO? The Hydros has to control the ATO within the AWC for it to work correctly. I also dropped the minimum off time to 15 minutes on the ATO from 30 minutes. I also dropped the minimum on time and Maximum on time to compensate for running every 15 minutes.
