Thinking of installing pump 40k pool where power goes on &amp; off almost daily. Does the clock and settings loose memory when power goes out? surge prob?

I have not had any problems with power lose or surge. The settings remain. I LOVE this pump. Very very happy with it.

Funny you posted this question. I just had about 8 power outages in one day. The wine cooler came back on without a problem after each one.

I believe it writes data to hard drive, so it does not need constant power. I have lost power and unplugged it a few times with no data loss.

This pump has the electrical incorporated in to the top cover. The float is pre-wired, so all you do is plug it into an 120 VAC common household outlet. The outlet should be 120 VAC rated at 20 amps at the breaker. The service disconnect is you unplugging the pump. This pump will run when the float is lifted up by the water level in the receiver tank. The pump running stops when the water level allows the float to flop down (as seen in the illustration at Amazon). Hope this answers your question - Mike

yes, It is working fine for me. tun the power off before connecting. suitable for small pumps for house circulating pumps. I hope this helped.

You probubly have a power supply that floats gnd. turn off the computer and the power switch. After this when u turn on the systems should be ok.

Sorry, but no idea really, without seeing the unit and checking a few things. But usually the only thing that will keep a computer from starting at all, assuming power is available, is either a failed motherboard, bios, or hard drive.

It only runs for maybe 2 hrs at the most. Shuts off after the pool is clean. I didn't notice any change in my electricity bill after I got mine.

Not to my knowledge. I have not experienced a power outage since installing the control, but I don't recall anything in the very abbreviated documentation.

Absolutely. The issue is getting the two to turn on at the same time with the timer. My solution was to cut the GFCI's off and install my own plug, then plug those two into a Christmas light timer to come on for a few hours at dusk. I assume no risk for this suggestion! It should also be noted that they sell an 'all-in-one' sand pump and chlorinator unit.

I have had several brief power outings at my house and I have not had to reload the settings. You can save a config file to your computer in case you need to restore it to make it easy.

I believe if you were to use this timer for that purpose that a properly sized relay should be used to switch the load and the timer would turn the relay on and off. Pumps draw a large current especially during startup. For durability the relay should be about 30amp.

Memory is EEPROM. Not power dependent. Mine has been off all winter. It will start up and run just fine very soon.

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. I had to take a look at the timer to answer. The rating on it is 15 amp, 1800 watt.

Depends on the load, mine will go probably 15 min irl. If you're gaming online and the power goes out for a minute or two and comes back you will not be interrupted. But keep in mind these units are made for short term power backup so you have time to shut down without damaging your computer.

Roger, There is no switch on this pump (on/off) you just plug in when you want it to run an then unplug when you are done. If you have a 14x42 or bigger pool, you would need to run the pump for 3-4 hours a day (preferrablly 2 hours in morning and then 2 hours at night) in order to keep it krystal Clear (Hope this Helps)
