Default Another Apex question

So my ato turns off and on constantly and not only is it extremely annoying but I'm sure at the rate its going it will burn something out. Im wondering if there is a way to program it so that it only comes on once every 30 minutes? Any help would be appreciated.

I set mine to turn on for 10 minutes 4 times a day. Probably some other way to do it every interval, but I don't worry about it

Yea mine is literally on and off like every few minutes. I saw somewhere there was a code to make it only turn on so many times every hour or whatever you like. Thats the code I'm looking for.

Are you using floats? If so, can you set them further apart so there is a larger tolerance.

Yea I'm using two floats, but I have it set up so one is in the water and one is out. Not sure if thats how most people do it, but my thinking was if the water rises up to the second float then it shuts down the ato.
