Reverse once an hour

[BAMatter]

Have 2 OctoPulse 2’s on a WaveEngine direct drive. Can I program a pattern to kick on once an hour for 2 minutes that is reverse only? Would like a surge to flush out behind my rocks…

If you can create a schedule for the reverse flow you want it can be done. I do something similar for my feedings and it is triggered by the feeder. You would need to setup a generic output as your timer and use the depends on on the schedules to turn off all the other schedules and turn that schedule on. Use off if on on all the other schedules and off if off on the schedule you want to run.

I kinda got something that will work for me, I think. Enabled a schedule that hits anti-sync with reverse turned on, scheduled at the top of the hour. Seems to be working from my tests… according to the screen shot, it will run every hour, for 2 minutes, with a minute long ramp up/down, correct?

Here is two of my schedules one is the feed flow and the other is the morning flow schedules. Also the start time and end time are important on the one you want to run once an hour.

I have MP10's and they don't run in reverse so I have no experience with making them run that direction. It looks like it will run 2 cycles in the 2 minutes since it is set for a 1 minute cycle.

Yep, that’s what it appears to be doing. Wasnt liking reverse as part of the sine wave so i switched to LPS mode, but still needed to find a way to get flow behind the rocks. This seems to be doing the trick, thanks as always Danny.
