Greetings ,
i’m using the explicit swmm solver and want to run a pump station but the operation will start after 2 days from the start of the storm , can you please help ?
Thank you
Hello Ahmed,
You had posted in the Communities Feedback forum which is intended for feedback on the site itself. I have moved your post to the OpenFlows Forum where you can get assistance with the OpenFlows products.
I assume you are using SewerGEMS or CivilStorm. With the Explicit (SWMM) solver, you can use on/off controls in the pump properties to control the operation of the pump based on wetwell level, and then use SWMM Control sets and SWMM Time Series Control Data to force the pump to be off until a certain day/time. See:

Usually pump startup is not controlled by time but by water levels or flows at key locations and will depend on the severity of the storm. Levels in the pump station wet well are the typical method on which to base pump operations.
