Neptune Turning Pump Off

Ok I am new to this system and need some help. I've plugged my return pump into outlet 4 on my E8 an it keeps cycling on and off. I've come to figure out that this is due to the OCS set at 05:00/05:00. How do I turn this off? I want the return pump running all of the time. (Except when I feed which I have figure that part out)

I have gone to my Pump Program and set:
Fallback: on
Off Time: 000:00
On Time: 001:00
Off Time: 000:00
It has not turned off since doing this but I am wondering if this will make it work and stay on?

Thanks
Kevin

I would never put return pump on the apex. If controller goes out your return pump will turn off.


If you do want to program it then it should be this not osc program



Fallback ON
Set ON
If FeedA 000 Then OFF

Thanks kuyatwo I finally figured it out. And did set my fallback to on. I was wanting to have it on my apex so that when I feed it turns off and I don't have to do it manually and press the feed button. If you don't do that then do you leave your return running while you feed?

I have my return pump on a dj switch that I can turn on and off

I had mine on a dj switch and it was easy to use but I'm just trying to make it as easy as I can for my wife. I'm a firefighter and every third day I'm gone and she has to take care of the tank and with her being pregnant I want it as easy as I can't get for her. While it was easy to turn the switches off she always worries about forgetting to turn everything back on. A couple of times she forgot and had to Come home from work to turn them back on. I'm sure with the baby she will have an even harder time remembering to feed the fish much less turning everything back on.
