My timers are multiplying...

I find good deals on timers for my pumps.

I have had some others, but the very cheap Christmas light timers. Not even worth posting pics.

Here is my first good one I got this year. This runs my ebb & flood setup.



Here are the 2 I just picked up the other day.

May use this one for my lights.



This one has a fixed time of 1 minute on, 4 minutes off. I will use this for my cloner.



I spend my lunches window shopping in store till I find something good like these.
 
They look neat.
Cycle timers are hard to find here so i have to make my own. The basic timers with a couple of 12-way rotary switches provide selectable timing increments, 12 steps for (on) and 12 steps for (off) which is plenty for most applications.
I use a homebrew pc based software timer to run the outdoor setup. It can handle 4 systems at the same time with independant timing and 4 automatic timing changes for each system over a 24 hour period.  I have it set to change at 6am, 10.30am, 2.30pm and 6pm so the misting frequency and duration gradually ramps up in the morning and back down again in the afternoon.
