Recommended Posts

If you bought an Apex and you are overwhelmed, here are a couple of quick programs that will get you started in the right direction.

Skimmer

 

This program will turn off the skimmer any time the return pump is turned off. When the return pump is turned back on, it waits 3 min then turns on.

Return pump

 

I have a Virtual Feeder program that I will post later. If you do not want to program your feeding, you will want to delete lines 3 and 4

Dosers A and B

 

I have my dosers come on every hour for 4 seconds. Part A is on the hour and Part B is 5 minutes later. If my pH gets up to 8.20 then my dosers will not come on.

Feeder program

 

I have an Apex AFS but I don't use the wizard on Fusion. I setup a virtual outlet to do my feeding so I can control other equipment.

 

Here is what happens when I feed: Return pump and skimmer turn OFF, 1 min later autofeeder turns ON, 5 minutes later the return pump turns ON, 3 minutes later the skimmer turns ON

 

This happens at noon, 2pm and 4pm. I have powerheads that circulate during this time, but they are not controlled by Apex.

Do you know how to get the web cam feature to work and what web cams are compatible? And thanks for sharing this I have figured out most on my own but this helps as well.

Ok by the looks of it there are 4 different models of D-link ones that can be used.

Another tip: Don't bother downloading the Apex Fusion App. Worthless. Log into the Apex Fusion website in your phone and "Add to Home Screen". It works 100% better and from anywhere.

See? The user interface is just like the web.

This works ever better for iPads.

Yes! Very helpful...and now to re-set up my darn apex since I stupidly upgraded routers,lol darn it!

I had to start fresh with a new Apex and reprogram everything again. I did this party as a cheat sheet if I have to do it again some day!!
