SEASONAL PROGRAMMING
The AquaController Apex includes several advanced programming features that
can help you closely simulate the seasonal variations that occur in nature. These

RT. The temperature will get as low as 75 degrees in February and as high as
80.5 in August. To enable this feature, replace the insert the code RT+0 in
temperature commands in Advanced Programming mode. The 0 is used as the
offset from the Regional Temperature and can be a positive or negative number
(+1.2, -2.0, etc). The Regional Temperature code can be used in all commands
and situations where temperature is concerned. For example, the following
commands could be used on the heater outlet:
If Temp < RT+-0.3 Then ON
