Has anyone used this to control a pool heater as well as the pump?

I have it controlling my heater and circulation pump on one side and the high pressure jets on the other side. All controlled by my smart phone. I love it.

Yes it will. That is what the two timers are for: one to operate your main pool pump and the other for your booster pump to operate your pool sweep. They can be set independently.There are also punch-outs to install two on-off switches (e.g., a master power switch for the entire unit, or individual switched to each timer) on the inside and an outside punch out to install an electrical outlet. Those are optional. I would recommend getting an electrician to install it. George Stanley

yes I will work that way, however I would place the heater in the pool either on something the will not melt from the heat or suspend it somehow so in did not melt the pool

I, too, have used this switch with the Zoeller M98 for several years with no problems. Most reliable off/on device I've ever used on a sump pump that most of the year runs every few minutes.

Remember to hook the main ground wire between pump and heater .No. Just make sure it's plugged into a GFI receptacle. You also should know how to cut and glue PVC pipe. If your pump is plugged in the same receptacle it should be a GFI and be just fine. The flow of the water through the heater turns it on and off. Plus you must have enough water in the tub also. I hope this helps.

I believe you could, just so long as the voltage draw of your pool pump isn't too much for this timer. Might want to contact the manufacturer and ask them. I doubt they designed it with pool pumps in mind. I've been using mine for a garden fountain, and it's been working great. However, that's a very small pump.

Yes, all you have to do is wire of the power supply to your pool timer. PS you'll probably want to use watertight connections.

I have a number of them installed for separate zones. My heating system is forced hot air my supply is natural gas. I have a natural gas furnace. I do not know the differences between the pump and the furnace. Generally thermostats test for temperatures, depending on their level they will send a signal of ON or OFF. I imagine they should work in most applications.

I just set this up today. I wanted a heater with a thermostat and took a chance with the Hydor 25W Submersible Aquarium Heater - Original Theo. It just fits inside the pump area. Doesn't impede on the air hose or electrical wires.

I have seen other options out there but this seems to be the most common type of float switch. I installed this pump myself and it was very easy. Fired right up as soon as I plugged it in so the float swtich works well. Hope this helps.

I used it in my 10 ft deep end in ground pool. I attach an extension cord to the cord on the product. It worked like a charm I just took it out of the now drained pool (had it on the cover submerged in water and leaves) because it's now winter in NE Ohio! I totally recommend this pump for pool use, works great and great price!

Yes, it works for pool, spa, heater, lights, blower. It is amazing, no more buying crappy remotes that are slow. We have a remote now in our phones, laptops, tablets and ipad. We turn the hot tub on from work so when we get home it is warm and ready to jump in. Highly recommend the product.

I believe it would be fairly simple to wire in a momentary contact (push-button) switch to allow you to manually trigger the pump. This should wire in to the same two terminals that the float switch connects to, and would momentarily bypass the float switch circuit, applying power to the switch motor.

Hello Joyce P.Thanks for your interest in our product. Two heaters can be connected with a by-pass kit for increased efficiency on larger pools, the kit is not required for pumps ranging in 1.0 hp

I have never done it, but I think it could be made to work. The trick will be in which mode do you want to control the temperature -- air or probe. I think the 'air' mode will read the temp at the panel and with a probe you could measure the temp at another location. Also watch the max rating on the controller; it will not handle a large heater. Oh, I just saw the "blower type' in your question; that implies motor (inductive load) and I don't know if the unit can handle anything but resistive loads as in in-floor wire heaters. You had better do more checking.

It depends on the wiring for the pump. If the wiring is correct, there shouldn't be any issues. ... I can set this timer for different times each day. And there is a manual override

yes I have took a while got two of them - one to the pool pump and the other on the hot water tank - let me know if you need help
