Woods 59396 30-Amp Timer for Heavy Duty Appliances and Outlets, Repeats Daily SPST Review

Woods 59396 30-Amp Timer for Heavy Duty Appliances and Outlets, Repeats Daily SPST

I bought this to switch a well pump. I didn't notice in the description, but this will only switch a single pole (SPST). I figured 30 amps, that was should be two poles. But is physically missing the connectors. I kept this (figured I could always use another timer) and ordered the 40 amp DPST version.

Westek 758FPCTCC 1800W Heavy Duty Photo Eye with Weatherproof Face Plate Direct Wire Light Control, Satin Aluminum Review

Well, this switch does not work like the single pole switch you know; in this case you must connect the white wire to the ground, then connect the black to the hot wire and then the red to the last wire.
Of course the diagrem that came with the switch does not explaine this in plain English and this is why I do not like the switch - also, they do not tell you that if you do not connect the white wire to ground, the switch will not work properly, it would permanently connect the power and keep the bulb on all the time - whoever wrote the wiring instructions, did not write them for the average Joe.
I hope this would help

Sylvania SA310 40 Amp 120-Volt Single-Pole Zip Set Outdoor Industrial Timer Review

Sylvania SA310 40 Amp 120-Volt Single-Pole Zip Set Outdoor Industrial Timer

I had to replace the old rusty Intermatic timer for the pool motor, and came across this SA310 model. This is the nicest low cost digital model that I found. After using it for a couple months it works great! The buttons feel nice and overall has a well-built solid feel to the unit. I think this will last for many years. However there is one thing I wish it had (the reason for 4 stars on the review instead of 5): you can set 4 different custom timers, but you can only choose one of these modes at a time so the device will only turn on and off one time per day. In other words you can't turn something on at 2pm turn it off at 3pm then back on again at 5 pm and off again at 6pm. That's impossible with this unit; instead there's only one on/off cycle, but you can manually switch between 4 of these cycles (plus the zip set and random settings). Other than this minor gripe about this missing feature, it is a wonderful timer.

Note this particular time WILL NOT WORK unless the load is at least 40W- which could be a problem with CCFL bulbs. I ordered the timer, and this warning is prominent on the back of the package, but not clear in the Amazon product description.
