Just wondering if any of you running reef keeper lite with slx ph and any kind of float switch controlled aquipment I'll start by saying I'm about to toss this thing in the garbage and get an apex digital awuatics is horrible to deal with and constantly leaves you hanging any how I've used this over a year with sw5 with two floats one in sump and one in collection bucket from skimmers to turn them off sw5 fried digital aquatics messed me around offered me 50% off a slx instead but then never got back to me to order so I ordered the slx from the great people at jl aquatics and got it fast now the issue the slx has a strange glitch every so often the ph flashes error briefly then back to normal and the skimmers controlled by the floats you can hear click on and off very qwick any ideas here all new cables where used and when the skimmers are just turned on they have no glitch in the skimmers still glitch in ph thanks guys

How many power bars and modules do you have?, and how long are the cables, depending on the way the buss is connected you could be getting weak power to one of the modules.
If you have multiple powerbars try feeding the head unit with one and the slx with another.
Also it could be a powerbar overloaded or glitching.

I'm running 2 pc4 1 pb4 and slx with two floats Amps on power bars are reading good and they are all linked together with slx at the end of the chain direct to the head unit to avoid that signal traveling to far the power bar that is doing it is just after slx with a 3 foot new cord and I have tried the others and same thing and still has the ph error randomly

I would try plugging the head unit into the first power bar and the slx between the other 2 power bars.
I know it is a pain but as a last resort I would switch the suspect power bar with one of the other ones.
