Use the oscillate command. Take a look at the User Guide for some hints on doing this with multiple pumps.

Sorry to be a pain but could you give me an example of how to set up 3 ph's. I'm a little confused!

The OSC command sets up a repeating cycle on each Outlet of the form OFF > ON > OFF > OFF > ON > OFF > OFF...

[PH_1]
OSC 000:00/010:00/010:00 Then ON

[PH_2]
OSC 010:00/020:00/010:00 Then ON

[PH_3]
OSC 010:00/010:00/010:00 Then ON

PH_1 will be OFF for zero minutes starting at midnight, then be ON for 10minutes, then OFF for 10 minutes + zero minutes, then ON again for 10...

PH_2 will be OFF for 10 minutes starting at midnight, then be ON for 20 minutes, then OFF for 10 minutes + 10 minutes, then ON again for 20...

PH_3 will be OFF for 10 minutes starting at midnight, then be ON for 10 minutes, then OFF for 10 minutes + 10 minutes, then ON again for 10...

By staggering the start time and duration you can get a random flow, or if you time things right you can synchronize them and get a wave.
