can you use this switch to operate a Pool Pump so that it wont operate 24-7??

I don't know why you couldn't, as long as otherwise the pump is switch via a normal 110-120vac switch. You could check the amp draw of the pump motor to be sure you aren't overloading contacts and confirming the amp draw is within the range of the Honeywell switch. Otherwise, we've used this controller with definite satisfaction to replace a solar operated switch on our multiple outlet outdoor light system. It's easy to install in an existing (or typical) switch box, and to program. Quite reliable.

Honestly, yeah. It would depend a little bit on how you have your pool pump's on/off switch set up, but yes, this could make it completely programmable regarding when you want it on and off. You could even create multiple programs (say one for winter and one for summer). But as Kathleen said, this is designed for indoors. It isn't weatherproof and long-term exposure will probably destroy it. If the switch is say... in your garage, though, it could very well be a workable solution.

Designed for indoor use. Talk to an electrician. There are probably better options for a pool pump.

It depends on the wiring for the pump. If the wiring is correct, there shouldn't be any issues. ... I can set this timer for different times each day. And there is a manual override

this bilge pump just pumps when power is supplied to it, if you want it to work automatic then you also need to use a float switch to control it

If your pump has a speed selector switch on the case then yes it can. But this timer is mainly for single speeds it has no provision for controlling speed.

It should work as long as switch is not being kept from moving to off set point

Yes. It is used to load the switch befor starting the pump and the switch will operate as long as there is pressure in the line.

This switch isn't really meant for continuous power. So it wouldn't stay 'on' as long as the float is in a particular position.Basically, when the float 'triggers' the switch to run (ie power on), it is programmed to automatically run for about 10 seconds, then it shuts off the power again.This time limit is hard coded and not configurable either.I don't think it will work for what you want to use it for.

I guess that depends on a lot of variables, but I would recommend removing the pump to replace the switch as the cover must be removed in order to gain access the switch, also the bottom loop on the float will need to be disconnected.

The pump has an on and off switch as well as a timer. It can be set to run all 24 hours a day or for a specific period.

This would not be a problem for the pump, but you would need a controller panel for it where you could schedule any change in speed and simultaneously control any valves that might need to be opened or closed. I would call their technical customer service. My phone call to them after a long wait was more helpful than I anticipated.

The switch is operated by water pressure, which opens closes contacts against a spring. I haven't installed mine yet, to control a 12V pump, but there doesn't seem to be any reason they won't work fine with 12 volts.

Yes, you just need to plug the pump into the output side of the timer or cut off the plug and "hard wire" the cord into the output side of the control box.

I would not know, but an automatic pump is just not to use a switch. I suggest you use a hand pump with a normal switch.Luis

There is no switch on the pump. You would either need a switch to the outlet it's plugged in on or to unplug it when you don't want it running.

I have one of these controlling my pool pump and it has worked great. However, my timer is in an outdoor electrical box that has a flap that covers the timer to protect from the elements. Bottom line is if you have an existing electrical box with a switch you should be fine because this is just a timer switch which will work anywhere a manual switch works. If you are installing everything new, use a weatherproof electrical box. Just make sure you install a timer (with the hold feature) one way or another, you will be glad you did. Good luck!

You would need to buy a separate 12v dump valve. For the switch use a momentary toggle on/off/on

sounds like three pumps you want to operate independently. This has three timed switches, so it should work great.

You will need to use a relay in order to do something like that. The switch alone cannot handle that much current, it is meant for very low voltage situations, or use with a relay switch.
