My beach house goes unrented for long periods. I need a timer that turns the water heater off for weeks, rather than hours. Will this one work for me?

No, this timer clicks on and off during the day everyday. We use it to shut the hot water tank off during hours we don't use it.

Hi Bo, I have used one of these WH21 for the last 25 years. This version of timer is only for controlling on and off in a 24 hour period. It will not help you with the issue that you described. Thanks,Ed

you can pull outward on the time dial until it clicks. The timer will keep running, but will not turn heater on and off (because the clips are not making connections). When you wish to resume schedule, push the time dial back in. We do this when we go on vacation for several days to two weeks. Also, it is programmable for two or three on/off schedules per day, depending on how many on/off clips to put in. It appears these other people don't know how to use it.

You can always turn OFF the circuit breaker, timer or not. You would have to reset the timer when you turn back ON. This would be my first choice for long periods of idle, for safety reasons. What is not ON can not burn up.

Not 100% sure, but from my experience this is just a 24 hour timer-not programmable the way you require- I recommend a different one for that function.

This timer works on a 24 hour cycle only. There is no way to set days or weeks into the cycle.

Intermatic model EH40 (240V) and EH10 (120V) are electronic water heater timers that have battery back up and 7 day programming. Perfect fit for a beach house or rental property.

Hi there. Because of flow restriction (severe) I only used this a couple of times and then gave it away. Since it is a spring-wound timer, anything less than 15 minutes would be iffy, and during the last couple of minutes it would begin to shut off the water even more.

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.

No, this is for 220, sure saves money on your electricity. Set timer to heat water only when you need it.

Sure, just be sure that you're not daisy-chaining the timer from another power strip or something similar. Also be sure the space heater has some kind of tipover switch so if something happens when it's unattended you don't burn down your home.

This is not a timer. This turns the appliance off after a certain interval of on time.

It SHOULD work. I know the valves open even when the water is turned off (like when we have had a couple days rain) so if you have enough pressure to push water now without a timer adding one shouldn't change anything.

There is no timer on the system but if you connected it to a timer I suppose it would work. When the power comes on to the unit it cleans for about 2 hours or so.

There are 3 settings - high, low and off. It will automatically turn off if it runs out of water. However, there is no timer as such. Thanks.

The nice thing is the brass fittings are the same threads. It just unscrews (hold the outer brass ring keep the top brass fitting in-place and turn). Be careful to make sure the new rubber gasket is set properly, so you don't cut it. You don't need a timer--I just bought a grounded timer at one of many stores and use it to turn on the circulating pump a bit before my wife intends to use hot water (she has a firm schedule). Some timers can be set to go on/off several times a day. I thought the timer was a good idea, since there's no reason for hot water to be circulating through the house (i.e., heating the house and using energy from the water heater) if we didn't need it. The replacements come with a "flow dial". I called the company and they said the high setting is equivalent to the standard/set setting on the old pumps, so that's where mine is.

I'm not sure, as we do not use ours on a timer. Sorry if this isn't helpful.

No. That's why it's such a great gadget. It's spring activated, kind of like the traditional egg timer that your grandmother used. It also has an "infinity" setting that lets you water without the timer.

It should be fine. I use my timer for my aquarium lights. You can turn the thing that is plugged in on and off 6 times in 1 day if I remember correctly. So far I've had no problems with the timer and I find it really easy to use.

The timer lets you shut hot water flow when not needed. I have had 3 Laing and they all went bad within a year. I would look into another product. Amazon replaced the first two then refunded my money the third time. Great service.

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.

On. But your heater will stay on all the time then... Unless your going to push the button everytime you want hot water, but depending on how often that is you may not have very hot water. I would suggest letting it heat two hours in early AM and two hours very late afternoon, this is what we do and with two people in house we always have hot water and it has saved us a lot of money on electricity. Good luck

I really don't have the answer to this. We always have hot water but I don't think we use the timer. Have you researched Laing's internet site?
