Can you run the lights on a timer? Or do the lights and pump run off of one electrical plug?

Yes, you can run the lights on a timer. The lights have a separate plug and cord from the pump.

The power cord comes attached to the pump. If you are an electrician or know one, it would be possible. I would just plug it into a timer that is rated for all types of weather.

you can run the bubbler with out the lights by unplugging the power to the light. There is no on/off switch but there is a disconnect you can use without having to access the plug in the outlet. I would suggest putting the plug for the light an a seprate power switch or a switch used for christmas lights

It's possible that you could connect all the zone control outputs and your pump relay together. This would create an "OR" circuit (either zone1 OR zone2 Or zone3, etc, coming on would also activate your pump). However, I don't know if the Timer circuit would be damaged. The safe way requires a simple electronic OR circuit that samples each zone output (it's 24 or 28 VAC) and inputs to a relay or solid state switch that controls the same voltage applied to the pump relay. Of course you would have to know if the relay handles that voltage and if the current draw is comparable to that which the zone solenoids pull. From the nature of your question I expect that you may have no idea how to do this. It's possible that you could connect all the zone control outputs and your pump relay together.

Yes there is two different plug-ins one for the lights and one for the pump. The pump can be adjusted down.

I used a 12v battery ( which is charged from a solar panel,) to power the timer and the led strip lights. Works perfectly. Lights run 4 hours a day, timer is always drawing a small amount of power from the battery.

No they are on one circuit, but it is a very dim and relaxing light. No brighter than the light from my alarm clock. Hope that helps.

Yes, sort of - if you have easy access to the pump...it has three settings: Off, Timer, On. "Timer" and "On" are still based on temperature, so it won't run in the On position unless it needs to.I've actually been putting some home automation devices in my house from Smarthome, particularly Insteon. You could theoretically have an Insteon motion sensor detect occupancy and have it trigger an Insteon receptacle (for example) to turn On. There are also Insteon plug-in components if you don't want an electrician to do the work. You can get those items from Smarthome.com.

Yes. The timer plugs into your outlet, and your pump plugs directly in to the timer! It works great!

The wiring is simple. In most cases, you have a Line- the power source. It consists of a hot wire (usually black), a neutral (white), and a ground (bare copper or green). Black goes to #1, white goes to "A", ground goes to green screw at bottom of enclosure. For the Load (light, motor, etc. that you want timer controlled), attach white to "A" (the same point as Line white (neutral), ground to green screw (like Line ground) , and remaining colored wire from Load, to #2. Simple! 2 wires + grd. IN (Line) - 2 wires + grd. OUT (Load). Hope this helps. God Bless.

Hi, theres just 1 power cord so you cant switch lights... Plug is two pronged.., hope this helps..

Do you want the automatic pump to run when the battery power is turned off? If so any single pole switch will work because your power to the float is wired direct to the battery. While the other power wire runs to the switch from battery controlling the manual operation. Did this help?

You can run all of the lights as long as the voltage added together does not exceed the 600 watt transformer. I do however want to mention although this product is stated that is to be used underwater it will fail I contacted the sellerand was met by a very hhelpful and understanding customer service and was able to have them send me a new one but was instructed not to submerge in water because it will fail THE ad is misleading I now have the light set between the rocks of my pond facing the waterfall what a beautiful light this product gives off making my pond look beautiful and relaxin.

Yep! The air pump connects into the lights separately. You just have to leave the air pump plugged in, but not plug in the adapter for the lights.

I've never used one with this light. However, given the standard electrical plug I would try any standard timer. You might need an adapter for three prong to two.

The one I bought had switches for two lights at a time. I don't know of you can run it with two empty, but on one shoot, I knocked it over and two bulbs broke. The others kept running, but I quickly unplugged it and took it outside, so, I don't know how long it would have run like that.

There is no switch on the pump. You would either need a switch to the outlet it's plugged in on or to unplug it when you don't want it running.
