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

Yeah I have them and they are great timers. Much better than the digital timer that Intermatic makes for Coralife.

Reggae Fish,
What exactly do those overload boxes do? Are they just a GFCI?

ok who from ebay, forgot about that post. my bad pay attention dam$%t.

 

[beaker77]

The model number of the timer is HB88RC if that helps anyone find them.

 

[beaker77]

I bought from two different sellers. There are two on eBay right now but they are overpriced and end within 5minutes.
eBay

 

[akrimmel]

not a bad price but why pay 12 for shipping if and when i can find it locally. it ended with no bids.

ok all b/s aside i found them at HD in edwardsville for 19.99 and they have 12 in stock. the timers that is the 15 amperes protector still have to do some research on that but 1/2 the battle is done.

I can't find the info on it online but they have several kinds...4 plug, 8 plug, ones with gfci, etc...

I have an 8 plug and a 4 plug...I don't have the one with the gfi because it is plugged into one...Mine is set up a bit differently than the pic below but basically I have the necessities on all 3 breakers- Heater, Lights, Flow

 

[akrimmel]

are your intermatic timers plugged into your overload guard thingee?

 

[akrimmel]

i take it that the overload guard isn't made by intermatics?

Huh, I wonder if they are seasonal.

 

[akrimmel]

well the guy i talked to said it is a normal stock item

 

[Reggae Fish]

Not the same company this is how I have mine set up...I really like them

 

[akrimmel]

nice setup will have to mimic it one all timers are purchased.

 

[Reggae Fish]

Thanks...I can't tell you how much I love the timers

 

[akrimmel]
