My current system runs off of well water, using a pump relay to draw water when the valves are open. Will this timer support work with the well pump?

It's possible that you could connect all the zone control outputs and your pump relay together. This would create an "OR" circuit (either zone1 OR zone2 Or zone3, etc, coming on would also activate your pump). However, I don't know if the Timer circuit would be damaged. The safe way requires a simple electronic OR circuit that samples each zone output (it's 24 or 28 VAC) and inputs to a relay or solid state switch that controls the same voltage applied to the pump relay. Of course you would have to know if the relay handles that voltage and if the current draw is comparable to that which the zone solenoids pull.

Yes, it has a terminal labeled "Pump" that's on whenever any station is on for exactly the setup you've described.

This is a single circuit timer. Unless the pool pump and chlorine generator operate at the same voltage, I would recommend against using this.Best case would be a two circuit timer.

I have 2 thoughts. 1) I just run my chlorine pump when my deep well pump runs and I don't see any problems. 2) The relay action you need is time delay on release (drop-out).

There is no need to set pump timers on hydro systems like this setup. That is to say, the pump should run continuously. Additionally, I would recommend getting another line connected to a circular (large) water stone to put in the bottom reservoir to hydrate the lower root system. Keep in mind that roots are divided into 3 sections: Water roots (found at the bottom of the root ball), Air Roots or root hairs (found at the top of the root ball), and Combination Roots (found at the middle of the root ball).

I doubt it. I would look into another timer. I bought 5 in order to get 1 that worked.

Hi, It sounds like you need the entire timer if you don't have a timer right now. If you do have a timer then you need to look at the brand, these trippers work with most Intermatic and Tork brand timers, if so look at the brand and model number. The timer trippers are just replacement parts for existing timers. If you don't have a timer then what kind of timer you need depends on the load and voltage of your pump. You might need a Intermatic Pool Timer 220 Volts T104R3. Installation of a timer may require an electrician. Amazon sells entire pool timers Just search for Pool Timers.

If your water heater plugs into an outlet, a regular timer will work fine. Most water heaters, however, are 220 volt lines on a dedicated circuit, thus you need something more like the WH21. Here's a good reference for you:http://michaelbluejay.com/electricity/waterheatertimer.html

No, as is generally true with residential timers such as this SST900i, it can only power one valve at a time. Some commercial grade timers such as Rainbird's ESP-SMTe can power 2 valves simultaneously. But, even if the timer could power 2 valves at a time, your water pressure, your piping, or your main valve size might not be able to handle so much flow.

Don't think so. But there is an internal timer that's used for redundancy. It won't pump more than a certain% more than the previous times. If it is still calling for water, the safety shuts it down completely

I'm using one on my water tank but it does have a 1/4 hp pump on it. Works good. If you are just thinking about a water flow on this time I don't think it will work. I'm sure you have to have some pressure to move the timer.

I used it to control a 12v powered water valve remotely. Probably depends on the amp draw of your setup ... but if it was a higher draw than the remote handled directly, just put a 12v relay in the path to handle the amps/

I suppose whether it is an outdoor fountain or an indoor fountain it doesn't matter. The key factor is the amps. It is capable of drawing 15 amps. Pumps typically are lower than this, so it should be just fine. I run 2 small pumps simultaneously with mine. I'd not expose this timer to water. I'd put the timer in a dry place then run the cord to the pump.

Yes... wire up the power to your timer, then wire off of your timer a standard plug. You can plug your pump into this plug and your timer will turn this plug off and on.

Hi MeganWhile the valve is connected put the timer in the "manual" position to water for a few minutes the "clear" it. That will normally switch the valve gate. If that doesn't work call orbit customer service/tech support 800.488.6156. They are very helpful!

Not to worry. You can control the spv with an external timer. It just powers up to speed3 then times internally to speed 1 then times again. U will now have the pumps timers under the control of your external. I also use it with an external timer. No problem.

Yes make sure pump timer is set to proper am or pm and running. Second that valve is installed properly under the sink. If this does not work do an exchange for a new valve.This is my second unit i have installed myself and instructions are very clear never had any problems.

Good Evening Ana Laura Lewellen. If your well is a shallow well with above ground equipment, Yes the pump will work. Are you using the existing expansion tank?
