User questions & answers

Question:	I have a 1.5 horsepower motor will this work ? I had to replace my pump but don't remember if it was a 1 hp and I used it last year but it died on me
Answer:	1 year
Question:	How often do i need to set the timer? can i set it and forget it, or do i go out every day and set it again
Answer:	Great product
Question:	How long is the cord on this? Is the plug a single twist lock
Answer:	It depends on the chips Apple Wood, Cherry etc. I soak in the Apple Wood in Apple Juice, or Orange Juice, White Wine and or Water. The flavor of the wood mixed with what you soak them with needs time to build up over the meat. I use an metal tray for grilling over charcoal or mesquite - I'll add more water, apple juice etc and let it boil a bit then it will flame over - this is when the magic happens -- smoking the meat. For best results soak over night in a milk jug or bucket. Once it starts don't open - I keep the grill at 200-250 as best I can and let the heat slowly build up - maintain. Anything over 250 is grilling but control the time and heat you should be fine.
Question:	What is the warranty on this item
Answer:	No

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a ground stake that comes with it
Answer:	15 Amps at 110 Volts AC is 1,650 Watts. That would be the absolute most it could handle. If your pool pump is over 1500 Watts you may be better off with a larger timer (in case of voltage spikes and sags). If your pool pump is less than 1000 Watts it should run for years (mine has).
Question:	Can you put a longer power cord on it
Answer:	P1131 is rated for 1 HP
Question:	will this control landscape lighting and what wattage
Answer:	Its a set it and forget it timer. The same as you might use in your house for a lamp or christmas lights. It turns on and off at the same time every day.
Question:	How does this product work? Does my pool pump cord plug directly into the timer and the timer into my gfci
Answer:	The cord is approximately 18" long and yes it is a single twist lock. Mine was mounted on my house right beside the electrical outlet and the pump plugs in to it there.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this work with a pool pump cord that has a gfci protected plug
Answer:	Yes Rated for Motor 15 FLA, 90 LRA, 120 VAC, 1 HP
Question:	Would you use this with an above ground pool
Answer:	No ground stake needed just an ext cord or outlet. I attached mine to the outside of my chicken coup. Very easy to set and very dependable.
Question:	can this timer work with a 1 1/2 HP Hayward pool pump
Answer:	I assume you can. I haven't tried it but, I do have several others of different make and I have added longer power cords to them.
Question:	Can this unit work with a 6,000 btu air conditioner
Answer:	I had to take a look at the timer to answer. The rating on it is 15 amp, 1800 watt. So as long as you fall below those max ratings on the timer you should be ok. I bought it because it was the only basic timer I could find with this high of a watt and amp rating that would control a 1.5 HP pool pump, all the others had too low of a wattage and amperage rating. I am satisfied with this timer, its basic, affordable and will power larger items. I had a really fancy digital timer I paid 4 times more than this one for and the electronics in it went bad. I like the simplicity of this one without any electronics that can go bad again.

User questions & answers

Question:	My pool timer trippers keep bending
Answer:	Across all models of Intermatic switches - If there is a "P" in the model number the case will be plastic If there is an "M" in the model number you will get the "Mechanical Switch" only. No case. Used for replacement. Otherwise the cases are metal An "R" in the model number indicates that the case is "Rainproof" Hope this helps
Question:	operating instructions for t101R
Answer:	You should add the total wattage of each of your pool lights to determine this. I would recommend that you not exceed about 80% of the total watts for this transformer, or about 80 watts. If your lights consume 10 watts of power each, you could have 8 lights on the this single transformer. Also, keep in mind that you should be concerned about voltage drop for long runs of wire. You can consult voltage drop table on the internet to determine the guage of wire to use. I typically use 10 gauge for long runs, but this might be an overkill if you have short runs and low LED power requirements. The output is 12VAC. Make sure you use LEDs with drivers that allow 12VAC to power them.
Question:	can I use this model to replace model 101 P, what is the difference
Answer:	You may use a residential type wall switch connected to interrupt the primary of the transformer. Wiring methods must conform to the National Electric Code. The load through the switch is less than 1 ampere at the maximum rating of the transformer, but the switch must be rated for no less than the line voltage (120 volts).
Question:	Is the case plastic or metal
Answer:	It is only rated for 100 watts so you cannot run 300 watts with it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the pe653rc control pumps at line voltage or i need additional relays
Answer:	I do not know about the battery backup , however I can tell you that I returned this item because a freeze protect was an extra $70, and an actuator was needed to operate 2 valves, an additional $384, would also need an additional housing $48. Ended up getting an Aqualink and am glad I did.
Question:	Can you connect it to an AquaCal Pool Heater
Answer:	I have seen this sometimes as I repair pool equipment. You can bend the pins back to their original shape by using a needle nose plier. Do not over bend or the pins will not trip the timer.
Question:	Does this unit include the timer itself, or is it only the remote without the actual timer
Answer:	I'm not an expert on this system but have used it for a couple of years.
Question:	Does this timer have battery backup so the time and programming are retained in a power outage
Answer:	T101P has a plastic case, thus the P. The T101R has a metal case which is rainproof and able to be used outdoors as well as indoors, thus the R. The M attached to the Intermatic model lineup indicates that it is just the "Mechanical switch" by itself with no enclosure, which would be used as a replacement. Ideally you would be looking to get a 101M, unless you wanted to upgrade your enclosure and make it rainproof and metal. Hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	can I buy more timer clips
Answer:	This number is for the timer motor only, not the timer assembly, nor the case enclosing the assembly. This little motor is what usually goes bad. It can be replaced, but it is easier to replace the whole assembly. Model T104M is the timer assembly (includes the little motor) and Model T104P3 includes the timer assembly in a metal case. This case is not recommended for outside usage. If you want to use outside, install the Model T104M in a totally enclosed plastic case.
Question:	How do you determine whether you need a 110 or 240 volt timer? I don't see any indication on the old timer
Answer:	Absoluely, this works great for in ground pools. I bought one for my 10,000 gal pool with a 1 hp pump running on 220. excellent product.
Question:	I'm replacing my pool pump timer, intermatic it tells me to use wg1573-5 what model is this
Answer:	You can set up to 7 programs per day, and it appears that they can be set right down to as little as a minute, as this is a digital unit. If you do a search for the manual for this timer, you will see it explained there.
Question:	My timer for my pool has died. Would this product work for an outdoor, inground pool? The 220 is what I need
Answer:	Yes. Can put in multiple , daily programs. Great timer. I have been very happy with mine for two years now. (starting third "pool year" now.)

Answer:	It is.
Question:	Does the T104M come with a timer motor? Why don't you show the back picture
Answer:	Yes, this unit includes the timer motor. If you have the Intermatic timer box Assembly(outdoor enclosure) this should fit right in. The timer motor is also sold as a sep. Part. Definitely need someone who has worked with 220VAC power.

Answer:	Absolutely. It was easy to connect and the AquaCal manual explains how to hook it up very easily. Both the manual for this and the AquaCal 'agree with each other' and it is easy to understand what each is referring to in making the connection.
Question:	will my T173 fit in this Intermatic 2T2502GA Pool/Spa Plastic Enclosure
Answer:	The unit itself is an electronic timer; basically some relays that are programmed and maintained through the remote.
