New Timers

[Reggae Fish]

I have to say...I love them! Thought I'd share.
Each comes with 2 plugs, runs through electric but the timer itself runs off a battery so in a power outage, you're not messing up your lighting schedule...

Plus, someone told me to mention the over-load boxes I use...There is an 8 plug on the left with 2 built in 15 amp circuit breakers (one on each side) So, I basically have at least a heater, lights, and some kind of flow on either side so if I blow one circuit, I still have the basics on the other side.

The one on the far right is the same but only a 4 plug...

HHmmmmmmmmmmmmm all-good Intermatics are the best, they will lose a little time though, my t5's are abou a min apart after a month on the kick off.

yo reggae tell me the manufacters on each of the items up there and where you purchased as well as price if you dont mind.

 

[Spiffyguy]

I have seen these at Lowes and Home Depot. Intermatics I believe.

 

[akrimmel]

as well as the 8 plug with circuit protection, cant see the manufacures name on that is it the same

 

[pewter_jean]

tell me too. The stand of my tank is such a maze of wires and plugs. Those look like they are a lot easier to manage. Where and how much?

 

[akrimmel]

yo reggae are you out there or are you staring at your new timers and counting the seconds till your lights come on?

 

[Reggae Fish]

Sorry, thought the brand and where to get them was in the thread.

They are made by Intermatics
Got them at lowes for about $20 each
I LOVE THEM!

My overload box I don't know the name of... I think it was around $15-$20 (can't remember) Got it at lowes and I love that as well because as I said, the 8 outlet one, it has 2 SEPARATE breakers so you can put your bare necessities on both sides in case one breaks

 

[akrimmel]

ok will have to search there but should be able to find it.

 

[beaker77]

I couldn't find them at the Glen Carbon Lowe's or Home Depot. I ended up getting mine on eBay.

 

[akrimmel]

well beaker being that is where i live, were they out or just didn't stock these items?

 

[beaker77]

I looked several times at both stores. I even looked at both stores in Fairview once. The only outdoor timers I could find were photo eye and analog.

 

[Reggae Fish]

Look in the section that has things like Nite Lights, regular indoor timers (the small white boxes that plug in)
They should be there

 

[akrimmel]

which HD did you purchase yours at?

 

[Reggae Fish]

Lowes in ballwin

 

[akrimmel]

beaker did you look in the sections he is refering too?

 

[beaker77]

Sure did!

 

[akrimmel]

well then reggae has to go buy what we need and come across the river and deliver.

beaker when was this that you went looking?

 

[beaker77]

I got mine about two months ago.

 

[akrimmel]

thought you didnt have any and were looking to buy?
