Digital Pool Timer

Works great and ez to install. My only issue was, I set the hour but if you don't switch over to minutes and at least set it to 00 it doesn't recognize the on off times. Could really cause some confusion.

Bought the Suraielec timer to replace a 20 year old Intermatic. The clock mechanism in the old Intermatic had finally broken down and wasn't turning the pump on/off. I found a good video on wiring the Suraielec on YouTube and between that and the printed instructions, I didn't have any trouble getting the connections right the first time. I was also pleased to see that the timer is close enough to the old Intermatic in size that I didn't have to relocate any of the wiring conduits leading to or from the timer (bonus !!). Programming was no problem. Just follow the instructions. The first thing I noticed is NO NOISE !! The old Intermatic was mounted on the side of the house and I had never realized how it created a buzzing noise in both rooms on that side of the house. The new Suraielect is totally silent, accurate to the minute week after week, and hasn't missed an on/off event since I installed it. Could not be happier with the results. Quiet, accurate, dependable, and a great value. What more can you ask?

I purchased this timer to replace my analog pool pump timer (you know the brand). I had doubts about it being fairly lightweight but it is housed in a sturdy, well-made metal rain-tite enclosure and installed easily. The electrical connectors are robust enough for #8 wire and the knock-outs match standard spacing, although they were not punch pressed very well so I had to use a hole saw on one knockout. A minor inconvenience given the reasonable price and solid quality. It is not the same size as the older, traditional timer unit but worked for me. My only complaint is that the latch fit poorly (too tight, impossible to unlatch by hand) and had to be slightly filed to make opening the case practical. Some report the instructions aren't clear but I didn't find that to be the case. I don'ty know how long it will last but if I get two years out of it and need to replace it, I'll buy this same brand again.

Was easy to install and set up. Worked great for the first two months. Then, similar to many other reviews on here that I did not see before, the digital display stopped working, and the controller was no longer controlling. Was not able to reset, troubleshoot, or repair. Even if I was given another one of these for free, I would not use. Shame.

In Arizona we are offered "Time of Use" rates, which provide a huge cost savings if you are willing to reduce usage during peak weekday times. In wintertime, when solar is plentiful, there is also a big discount during peak daylight. The problem is that a default electric water heater is going to cycle not matter what, and water heaters draw heavy loads. Avoiding running the water heater means delaying things like washing dishes or clothes, and not giving children an evening bath. You should always ensure the unit can handle the load on your heater, and 30 amps at 240 volts is not something any fool should attempt. Nevertheless, with a whip available from a hardware store, a contactor or skilled person can install this timer in minutes. Uninstalling it would be even easier. The clock is probably the most accurate non-web integrated clock in my home. Overriding the system on a high load day is a simple one-button push, something I have actually only needed to do once in two years, as the residual heat in a 40 gallon tank is more than enough for a shower or a load of dishes. The result is that I can use hot water at any time, and the timer turns on the recovery only during the cheaper off-peak times. Based on my cost savings by being able to use the Time Of Use plan this device paid for itself in months, even before factoring the added convenience of being able to use hot water without worrying about peak time regeneration.

The Suraielec timer switch worked perfectly to run my well pump to pump water to storage tanks 1400+ feet away from the well house. This was the third product I bought (one from Home Depot and one from Amazon) but the first that worked because these timers seem to have very poor instructions and many of them claim to support U.S. 240v single phase (two 120v legs) when in reality they support 120v single phase or one leg of 208 or 240 or 277 volt 3 phase. Suraielec had very good instructions with wiring diagrams for every supported installation scenario and was easy to program and install. Best of all, their price was half that of the crap brands that had to be returned.

Nice

This timer works very well on my 1 hp pump, wired 220 volts, used for the lawn sprinkler system. It is a one zone system with18 sprinkler heads operating at the same time. I gave it 4 stars because the timer is a bit difficult to set up. Instructions are not as clear as they could be, with a bit of patience you can get it done.

for daylight saving time, you can only go forward, not back, which is required for the upcoming " fall back " hour. i.e. you can only go forward, like for spring. so you must set the time after the dst time and then going forward in spring is easy.
