Can I use this to replace a simpler timer on a water pipe used to refill a pool? I'd like it to turn on for 5 minutes every few days

This can be used where ever you would use a standard hose, it does need to be screwed on on to the outlet, if the water supply you are referring to is a pipe that fills only the pool then i would check with a pool supply company as that type of water supply may not allow anything to be screwed onto it.

Honestly, yeah. It would depend a little bit on how you have your pool pump's on/off switch set up, but yes, this could make it completely programmable regarding when you want it on and off. You could even create multiple programs (say one for winter and one for summer). But as Kathleen said, this is designed for indoors. It isn't weatherproof and long-term exposure will probably destroy it. If the switch is say... in your garage, though, it could very well be a workable solution.

Since there is no on/off switch, you would need to have something that can turn it on/off at the wall socket on a timer. If you have that, then it might work.

If your water heater plugs into an outlet, a regular timer will work fine. Most water heaters, however, are 220 volt lines on a dedicated circuit, thus you need something more like the WH21. Here's a good reference for you:http://michaelbluejay.com/electricity/waterheatertimer.html

You can set this timer to water every 6 or 12 hrs - or - every 1 day, every 2 days, every 3 days.... etc...to every 7 days. You cannot set a beginning date and ending date of one, two or three months. Because you can set how long the water runs... like 5 min or 20 min and combined with every day, or every other day - etc. I have been successful in using it to maintain my pool water level without the expense of a pool filling device that uses a float. I hope this helps you with your question. :-)

I bought this for our pool timer as well as hot water heater timer but both of ours are torx brand timers. If they look the same its worth a shot. Good luck wish I could give you a better answer.

I believe if you were to use this timer for that purpose that a properly sized relay should be used to switch the load and the timer would turn the relay on and off. Pumps draw a large current especially during startup. For durability the relay should be about 30amp.

Yes! I would use the remote to help turn on & off as well if you want it lot more than 5 hours for the timer.

Yes. You can set the timer for 1 to 12 hours or to continuous for up to 24. It has automatic cut off when it runs out of water.

David; I'm Not a electrician but It is a 220 timer and as far as I know I don't see why it wouldn't. I have a manual 220 timer on my in ground pool and it works great but I can;t see why this timer would do the same. I had a electrician install mine but I'm sure a owner could install it . Good luck...

Yes this will work, BUT you would need a 12v DC power supply to run the timer.

Yes you would have to reset the timer if you flip the on/off switch. This is for things like a fan,washer,dryer,and so on. I use these power con servers on my washer and massage chair. Hope this helps you.

As long as the toggle switch can handle the amperage of your wall heater and as long as that toggle switch is as easy to flip as your average light switch I don't see why not. But I think I'd want something more dependable than this timer especially if a fire could result if the timer stopped working.

It won't by itself. I think you can set like 23 different on/off settings. The shortest time interval is a minute though. I attached a separate timer that turns on for 11 seconds to feed fish in a tank every two days. This timer actuates the other timer that then runs a motor for a specific amount of time. It was a HeroNeo® 12v Home Automation Delay Timer Control Switch Module Digital Display LED.

Yes, I have this Aquatek unit and another hooked up to a timer. The plug is grounded so make sure you purchase a timer that has a grounded outlet (three prongs).

If you can do the plum/elec you can program this thing...I did the plumb/elec thing myself and installed this baby! I did not know anything about pools until i bought my house.very simple instructions....compared to understanding electricity but,if you don't know anything about electricity get an electrician
