    So just modify a pump preset now it seems to be set for 5 min on and 5 min off for some reason, if i put it to zero won't turn on.

    Not familur with the Apex as I have a ACIII pro but when I add something mine calls it by #,$ and so forth. Just choose a light timer then.
    Neptune Systems place may be able to answer your question

    I used the advanced config setting

    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If Outlet Return = OFF Then OFF
    If Power Apex Off 002 Then OFF


    If the sump return is off, the skimmer shuts off. If the power goes out, it delays the skimmer turning on 2 minutes to avoid overflow.
