I don't believe there is a timer. If it only works for 30 seconds, I would say it is bad.

Had same problem and never worked properly so I plugged it into another timer which I plugged in to the outlet. Don't waste your time with red or black. I drove myself crazy with that and it's just defective.

Here's what I did. I use a water timer. It's noting more than a valve that turns the faucet on and off per program. The system is set for line pressure.Probably 40-60 psi is the industry std. The drippers come in a few different flow rates. You determine the time based on the amt of water you want.If it drips 1gal/hr and you want 2 gals of water in the pot, set timer for 2 hrs ON. The drip rates are estimates, so run it into a jar for 15 mins or so and get your own number. I ordered more drippers. Works pretty good. I suggest a water timer.

It only has 6 or 8 different timers. For example: You want it on at 2 the next setting it asks is the off time so for 10 mins you put in 2:10 so then it'll be on for 10 mins automatically. But you can only set up the times you want on for 6 or 8 times I can't remember for sure but no you cant make it run for 2 mins every 20 mins it doesn't have enough time spaces to be set like that. Hopefully that all made sense and can help you make a decision on a timer. I love mine and I'm using it with a hydroponic pump also

Try some WD-40 around the dial & gears ,rotate the dial 4 times then set at correct time . Worked for me.

I had to take a look at the timer to answer. The rating on it is 15 amp, 1800 watt. So as long as you fall below those max ratings on the timer you should be ok. I bought it because it was the only basic timer I could find with this high of a watt and amp rating that would control a 1.5 HP pool pump, all the others had too low of a wattage and amperage rating. I am satisfied with this timer, its basic, affordable and will power larger items. I had a really fancy digital timer I paid 4 times more than this one for and the electronics in it went bad. I like the simplicity of this one without any electronics that can go bad again.

Call watts. They were very helpful. Be prepared you might need to call a plumber.

It's been several months since we replaced ours, so only going on memory here. There was a 'one minute' button which would heat on high for one minute. If you enter say 530, it should heat for 5 minutes 30 seconds, at whatever power level selected. If it doesn't do that, it's defective. Try entering a time then hit the timer button, which should just time down and sound the alarm when the time is up. If that doesn't work either, you know it's defective. Good luck. (Our control panel worked fine for 10 years.)

Yes I have. I got 6 of these from Amazon. Set all 6 up and plugged them in. Next morning, all lights were still on and timers never moved. Then returned them and got 6 more, same problem. All going back to Amazon. I will try Home Depot now.

Gary,If your pump requires the 4500 watts for more than a split second it will not start.Joe

Hi Linda, I have put my experience with the Woods Timers behind me. I had purchased two of them way back when, and they both failed and I've forgotten all I knew about them. Sorry I can't help you.

I had it over-loaded with christmas lights for a float. At least 900 watts, likely more and all of it continuous load, not surge. We pulled that float all around town and probably got 3.5 hours out of it (maybe more) before I had to refill. If you ran it with a 700 or 800 watt load and didn't get at least 4 or 5 hours, I'd be suprised. Having said that, we did this 9 and a half months ago so the details may be a little fuzzy... But I honestly was very suprised how well this little genny ran. I actually expected it to fail due to how long we were running it with that heavy of a load. I wouldn't try that heavy a load for that long if I was using this as a home power source. Remember you are getting this guy for under a hundo...

Just be patient. It is the old "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again". I followed each direction and was able to set the time and timer. I use the timer all the time. Good luck. Barb

I called the 800# & they said it needs to be ran under warm water for 20 seconds, dry it & it should be fine. Did that to mine over & over again but still didnt stop my alarm from going off. Had to return mine, i had the same problem as you.

I sat at my desk in the house and programed it. I have trouble seeing it where it is outside in the pump house. I can then just change the duration times as I need (still a bit hard to see). if it helps the time that first displays is always midnight

Timer is rated for up to 44 watts usage. You may want to ask an electrician or contact Intermatic's customer service department.Never hurts check with manufacturer.

Hi Beth,This is a great timer and is my third one. I buy them for my irrigation systems and have been using them for a long time. You won't have any problem setting this up to run for 8 hours. You can set any duration between 1 minute and 11 hours and 59 minutes.Good Luck!Alex
