How do I program to turn on a switch for a set amount of time or until the float switch is open?

Thanks in advance.

You can do something like this:

If Time > 7:00 Then PMP ON
If Time > 8:00 Then PMP OFF
If Switch1 Closed Then PMP OFF

or maybe:

OSC 005/60 Then PMP ON
If Switch1 Closed Then PMP OFF

The first example will have the pump on for at most 1 hour each day until the switch is closed. The second example turns the pump on for 5 minutes every 65 minutes until the switch is closed.

Thanks. I want this only to occur on command like the feeding time.

Can't think of a good way to do that.

With a switch you could do something like this:

If Switch2 Closed Then H2O ON
If Switch1 Closed Then H2O OFF

When Switch2 is pressed the water change is started and when the float switch is activated it is shut off.
