It says there are three timers. How many programs can you create for each timer. I'd like to be able to turn the pump on at least 4 times per day.

That wording is a little misleading. This unit has three separate circuit timers. Each timer can be programmed with multiple on/off cycles. It will totally do what you want and many more to boot.

The three timers are to control up to 3 items. Each timer will activate one leg of the 220 volt to activate power to that item. The key is events. You can have it set to Mode one only to turn the pump on and off and create up 7 different events. In your case you'd have 3 events to spare. See here http://www.intermatic.com/en/Products/Pool_and_Spa/Electronic_Controls/Electronic_Timer_Mechanisms/P1000ME_Series/P1353ME.aspx and the instruction manual here https://www.inyopools.com/manuals/1085/PE153%20Manual.pdf

hi Vicki, I have not been able to get it to do this. I don't even remember reading that this was possible in the instruction manual but granted I don't have the instruction manual anymore. But after looking at the timer itself -there are a total of 8 timer settings. So you could in essence run it for 1 minute starting at lets say midnight, then it would turn off, then start it again for a minute 15 minutes later, and so on for a total of 8 cycles. But that's really the extent of the extendable programming.

It has the option to program your schedule during the whole week. For instance, to maintain hot water in my houses the timer turns on the water heater at 7 am, 3pm and 8pm every day. I hope the information is useful.

You make 2 selections - first, water every day, every other day or every 3rd day. Then, choose the number of minutes to run each time it comes on - choices are 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes. So, if at 4:00 pm you set the timer to run daily for 30 minutes, it will do that at 4pm every day.

Flow isn't adjustable on these. I use one to topoff kalk, but on a digital timer that runs the pump for about 5 minutes at a time, 6 times a day.

No actual time setting only amount of time to water on every day, every other day and every third day. Suggest turning the unit on at the time you want to water and it should repeat on following days.

Yes.The timer allows you to set up to 7 different programs, you select which day(s) of the week will be included in each program.I have two programs running: 1) Monday to Friday OFF from noon to 6PM (side result: heater is ON from Friday 6PM to Monday noon). 2) Every day ON at 5AM, and every day OFF at 11PM, this means that the heater is off every night from 11PM to 5AM.

Yes, the timer is an old-fashioned mechanical type, for 24hr period, within which you can set any on/off intervals of 15-min increments. I have my pump running from 6:30 am to 10 am and from 5 pm to 11 pm.

Hi Lola - The way it works is that there are a set of 6 "programs" or watering on/off times. All 6 run during the same 24 hour day, and you can decide which days will run those programs. So, for example, if you set up 4 of the 6 programs, you can decide which days run them, but whichever days you select will all have to run the exact same programs. You can NOT have different programs run on different days. I hope that helps.

Yes - and just a minor correction for Laura J. you can water up to 4 times (not 3) per day/ 7 different days per week. I've had it for about a month now and it's pretty nice. Set it and forget it. BTW for the hose connections I used teflon thread tape to make sure they seal well.

Yes and No! When you first turn on the pump, it thinks for a while, then goes to its Prime speed. After a time it switches to V2, its second speed, and runs at that speed for a long time, before switching to V3. You can set the amount of time it runs at V2, as well as the speeds it runs at for the various speeds.If your power goes off, it starts back at Prime (3000 RPM) and repeats the cycle. Most people like a timer to shut the motor off at a chosen time, and restart it the next day, or whenever. So, I recommend you have a timer, but it is not essential.

Yes. There are 7 on-off cycles that you can program to turn on and off any single day or MTWTF or SS or MTWTFSS. So you can have 7 separate on-off periods. But make sure your heater is not more than 15 amps.

It's either on or off. If you want it to operate a device and then pulse a relay 4 hrs later while it's activated, I don't think so. You can program it to come on and off 17 times in a 24 hr time slot. I run a pump 4 times in a 24 hr period. It comes on at 1 am, goes off at 2am, then back on at 4am and off at 5am. On for an hr, off for two hrs, 4 times a day. A cheap device for me and it works fine.

You would have to buy a timer to connect in some way. It runs 3 hours unless you manually shut it off. Why is it necessary to run every day. Mine is used once a week and my pool is in Florida. My pool pump runs every day which is more than enough.

You can program for a total of 3 feedings a day only. I believe you could program the feedings close together but then there would be no more food for the rest of the day.

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.

Joseph... the answer is NO! The timer can be set to start and stop "once" OR "twice" a day. The amount of time you want the water to run during the ONE or TWO sessions can be broke down to hours and minutes.
