Ryan Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I have 2 of the second one laying arround. I used the before I got my aqua controller... Have anything you want to trade for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racefan Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I use the second one on my pool filter & about 4 or 5 on my Christmas lights. I got them all at Home Depot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradth Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 You can pick those up at lowes, HD, wallmart for about the same price listed. I use both of them for fish tank, pool, christmas lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwcoralfarm Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 A lot of those do not have the 3rd prong for the ground so if you are using them for your metal halides then make sure you can use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thats been my problem finding a new timer. Most only have 2 prongs. The 2 I listed have 3 as I have them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 are you going to have your MH's kick on and off couple times a day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 are you going to have your MH's kick on and off couple times a day? No. I would just remove the pins so it was on/off once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Well HD doesn't have them. Lowe's has something similar but it is spendy. I think I'll keep looking around. Didn't know finding a timer would be such a PITA!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know finding a timer would be such a PITA!! Try a true value or something like that. THe ones you need are called the "heavy duty" ones. I think they generally run 15.00 to 20.00 a pop. You might call Waves though, I seen they had a tray full of them he was getting rid of but I am not sure if any of them were heavy duty.
