Can you use this timer for potable water systems?

I use mine with rubber hoses so if that is not a problem for you by all means I would do it.

It is a very simple mechanical timer. It will stop the flow of water when the timer runs down. I don't see why it wouldn't work...
905249
Yes, the timer will work even if fluids are absent. It automatically shuts off whether a flow is present or not.

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 don't see why not. There is nothing but metal and plastic in the construction, so I would have no trouble (personally) drinking water that had been run through it. Of course, I would run some bleach through it first, just to be sure.

I believe you can do that, but I only used for single count-up timer. Sorry for not being able to give you a definite answer.

It should work with all timers. It's not the timer you have to be concerned with, but rather the type of valves (Anti-siphon vs In-line) and the size of the connecting pipes (3/4" vs 1", etc).

You can certainly T-off and run the timer but the pressure would be determined by the pressure you have on your line to begin with and the size of the pipes you use. The timer would have no bearing on that. The timer has standard hose sizing. Running 4 lines on one output will substantially reduce your output on the lines, to 25% on each line. Simple math. If your lines are of a smaller guage then you will not have a problem. Reduce the pipe size for their output (you can do this and maintain a good sprinkler system) and it will still work.

No but you can program it to water every 3rd week, 6am and 8pm. With the odd and even weeks it's a bit more complicated. You must install a jumper wire on pin 3 of the timer chip and connect it to pin 7 of the IC in position J2. After that restart the unit and program the times you want to water.

I don't know about with a timer as I haven't used one, but the unit itself can be left unattended. That is its purpose. We have enjoyed great success with using it in our pump house unattended this winter.

I'm not sure, as we do not use ours on a timer. Sorry if this isn't helpful.

It SHOULD work. I know the valves open even when the water is turned off (like when we have had a couple days rain) so if you have enough pressure to push water now without a timer adding one shouldn't change anything.

Sure you can, it's ideal for this kind of purpose. That's exactly what I would use it for. We've had excellent results with this particular timer, and as far as I'm concerned it's the best one on the market, based on extensive experience.

I haven't tried it but you should be able to set the frequency to 24. That will then water every hour. Then set run time to 30. That should water 30 minutes every hour

No, you can just turn on the timer and water will flow. The problem is that the timer significantly restricts the volume of water to your hose. I bought a Gilmore timer the other day and its much better, but even it restricts the flow. When I have a lot of water to use, I take the timer off.

You can use this timer to control 120 volt coil on contactor... and then use contactor to switch 240 volt load.... this timer requires neutral wire: http://waterheatertimer.org/Install.html#neutral

Yes. Each of the triggers represents a 15 minute duration. I used mine to power a water pump inside a plant cloning unit. You could definitely set an on 15, off 15, on 15 etc., cycle for a two-hour period, and have the remaining triggers in the 24-hour cycle set to off.Works like a charm.

I would think so. I am using mine for a 1.5HP pump to power a water feature. One word of caution- this timer should be mounted high enough to allow your plug from the pump to be plugged into the bottom of the timer.

Not really, you select on and the amount of time by pushing it more than once when starting. Push on and push 1-3 more times to select the amount of time you want it to run -same button. Don't think you would be able to set it up with a timer, I could be wrong. It does run for a long time, it holds alot of water.

The answer is YES, you may eschdule two different watering cycles per day (24 hours format) and also you can program the length of the timing. Device is really easy to program once you read the instructions, also you can program any or all the days you want watering from 1 t 7 days. I bought an gardena sprinkler connected to the timer and what a set I have, I am more than happy using both articles.
