I want to use it with a Hydroponic Pump. I need 2 min ON every 10 minutes OFF (DAYTIME), 2 min ON every 20 Minutes OFF NIGHTTIME. Will it work?

No this timer will not work for your needs. You need a cycle timer. I don't know of one that will work on night time setting..

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

Should be no problem, if you do not use it constantly. Give batteries time to recharge between pump cycles.

Yes, I use it for my sump pump in case of a power outage. Should last 4-6 hours, however, my power has never been out that long. Hope this helps.

Yes, I use it on a Lap grinder 15 on/15 off from 7AM to 7PM, then it shuts off 7PM to 7AM. Not many timers will do the 15-minute interval. Make sure the switch is in the proper position.

It is not a pump, it is an AC converter. If you have a 110 volt AC pump that is less than 150 watts, it should work.

Set an on time and an off time it should work fine. I use mine for hot curlers so they're ready when I wake up but turn off in an hour if I oversleep.

Hi - this pump can be tied directly to a solar panel. However, it is recommended to shut the pump off after 3 hours of continuous run-time to let the motor brushes cool off for about 30 minutes. This will greatly increase lifetime of the pump.

If your pump is located higher than your plants, yes. If you don't attach it, you run the risk of the water continuing to flow even after the pump has turned off. This could drown your plants and leave your water source empty the next time the pump is supposed to run, which could also fry the pump.

I'm using it for my hydrophonics and it turns on and off every 30 min with my timer. This has been going on since I bought. It still working fine till now.

I use this timer for a hydroponics grow tank. My current settings are 1/2 an hour on and 1/2 an hour off, 24/7. The time increments will go as small as 15 minutes, so you can program it pretty creatively. It's a well made device that appears pretty robust. The only caution would be the circle of small plastic tabs that control on/off switching. They seem tough enough, but you wouldn't want to break one off. Other than that, it's a very nice timer and well worth the money.

Yes, I think this would work for your application. This not a float activated pump and requires at least 1/2" water to run. It's best if you have a way to turn on and off as once plugged in it will check for high water level every few minutes, if water is high it pumps until lower than 1/2" at pump.

Yes, I think it would. I ordered this solar pump for a solar fountain that I have in my garden and is of a similar size to yours. I used it this past summer and it worked great; however, my solar fountain is right in the middle of my garden and gets direct sunlight all day. It will not work as well on cloudy days. I put the little solar panel in an inconspicuous place nearby---the cord is quite long. I think as long as you maintain your fountain and keep it clean, these little solar pumps seem to work fine. Hope it works as well for you.

This timer is designed to work by time of day, not by a specified amount of time. You would always have to set it to go off at a certain time of day base on the current time when you started using it. It would work, but I don't think this I what you want.

yes, one "D" cell will run pump for 20hrs. I used it in a 2gal cooler for live shrimp and it does very well.

Probably not. This Timer has six ON/OFF settings per day and some other DAY/WEEK stuff. One Minute ON/OFF (six times) a day is about as close as you get. Your need sounds like a Hydroponic Fluid Pump or something. Get a Timer Circuit (with Output Relay) from an Electronics Supply house.

Probably not as you must hold the "on button" on the pump down for 3 seconds before the pump comes on. Otherwise, the pump is great and I use it to water my garden from three rain barrels I have. Glad to answer any other questions you might have.

I used one on a gravity system for my greenhouse for one season. 35 gallon tank with the base about a foot over the valve. I say used, because it failed after one season. Indoors, dry, with the batteries pulled, but the timer stopped working - it will click on and the valve will open, but it shuts down after a couple seconds no matter the duration setting. Tried new batteries with no change.
