aaaww, and I though I was being clever, about to copy and paste
I would really like one that allows me turn the pumps off once per hour for 5 minutes, clears all the water from the beds.....

| Post subject: | (more) Accurate timer wanted |
Hi all, I currenlty have a HPM D809/1TWIN timer "supposedly" has 15 minute increments. Problem is the the 15 min on section actually runs for about 23mins. So I am lloking for a timer that gets me closer to 15mins. I want to run 15 on / 45 off flood drain cycle. My new pump (thanks Monya) is just too powerful for my 2 grow beds so floods really quickly, and I think it may be staying flooded for too long 23min/hr. Suggestions anyone? |

Digital timers ,, EXTREMELY accurate ,, within a second , as many on and offs as you want ,, not expensive ..... maybe $35? I'll hunt and come back. |

Ideally I would like to be able to have 15min on / 45 off over the full 24 hr cycle. So that makes 24 ons / 24 offs per day. I could cut a few back overnight but would still need about 18ons 18 offs. I do have supplemental airation (30L/min) with batttery backup. |

In the interim, it may be worth going to a 15/60 or even 15/75 cycle until you get a more accurate timer. |

be aware that digital timers that don't have battery back up need to be reset after a blackout.(even a short one) |

get two and piggyback them...when one runs out of cycles, leave it on so the other can switch the pump off again. |

With so many people running timers I just thought someone could say I use "X" timer and its pretty close to 15min increment settings. |

No worries ,, joke about money-up-front. I think your local Bunnings will have what your looking for ,, $35 should do the trick. |
