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
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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.

I have this set up on my well pump to keep the pump cycles down (it pumps into a gravity feed storage tank). Instructions are a little sparse, but I got it right on my first attempt, so must be reasonably clear.
Manual/off/timer switch is good. Timer wheel easy to set and I like that you can't lose the pins.
I had previously (mistakingly) bought a 59396 30-Amp Timer without noting the "SPST" notation. To be honest I'm not sure who needs a 30 AMP single pole switch. But this one (DPST) works fine.

24-Hour Dial Time Switch Review

24-Hour Dial Time Switch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Why only 4 stars? Because it didn't last over 20 years. Why not 3 stars? Because it's still available to replace the exact model that wore out. How good is it really? I'm not an electrician so I don't know.
I had this exact timer for my water heater at an old, I said old house. I have this exact one at my current house for my pool pump. The timer went out after 15-18 years service. We live in Florida and perhaps the moisture got to a metal gear inside. Who knows. I didn't like the plastic timers at the local big box home store. Two employees at the store hinted that their products weren't the same quality as what I already had.
I didn't expect this timer, which appears to have been in production for 30 or more years, to still be on the market. I wanted it because I expected it to last a long time and would fit right into place over the other one.
Convenience? Check
Longevity? Check
Handles 240V? Check
Fits the same screw holes already drilled? Check
Has all the same knockouts & conduits in the same place? Check
Don't want to figure out the wiring? Check
All the existing wires already cut to just the right length? Check
Bottom line, I took out the old one and put this in within an hour. It works perfectly and I can forget about it.

Intermatic T103 120-Volt DPST 24 Hour Mechanical Time Switch Review

Intermatic T103 120-Volt DPST 24 Hour Mechanical Time Switch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this mechanical timer to replace an almost identical unit installed by a previous owner of my house. I did this because the entire mechanism can be taken out of the metal box very easily. I took the new mechanism out and put it into the old box that was still attached to the wall and I did not need to disconnect the conduit running to it. This took only a minute. I then simply had to make the connections and I was back in business. If you do not know how to wire, or how to safely work with electrical wiring, this is not the product for you.
I have no idea how long the old unit was in place and I have yet to determine why it stopped working. I think that the gears came off track as the motor still runs when connected. Otherwise, I cannot make any claims as to the longevity of this unit.
I will update this review if I have any issues with this product, but for now I am very happy with the product and with Amazon for having this available and for the quick and efficient delivery.

Intermatic T104 208-277-Volt DPST 24 Hour Mechanical Time Switch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This timer is usually used to control 230V swimming pool filter pumps. It operates a single on/off cycle during a 24-hour period, which is adjustable, requires 230 volts for operation and switches both poles (hot wires). My original timer finally expired after more than 30 years of use, so I bought this replacement from Amazon, which was less expensive than buying one from my local electrical distributor.
Fortunately, this new mechanism fits and snaps right into the old Intermatic housing. For those who just need to replace the functional parts, this greatly simplifies the installation. Amazon's price for the entire timer assembly including the metal housing was less than others charge for just the mechanism itsef.
It was shipped promptly, arrived undamaged and at a good price.

Aube by Honeywell TI071/U Solar Time Table, Programmable Timer Switch, White Review

Aube by Honeywell TI071/U Solar Time Table,  Programmable Timer Switch, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've actually been pretty lucky with the Interlink SS7C timer switch I was using. I had two of the Interlink SS7C timers located in the house and they both lasted quite over three years which apparently is a lot longer than most folks have had success. However, I had one completely die a few months ago and then had the second one display the typical problems with the "No Op" issue. So, time to replace it!
I researched other Interlink switches and also came across this Aube. The other flush mount Interlink switch that could be an option cannot handle CFL bulbs.
Five huge benefits to the Aube TI071/U vs the Interlink SS7C:
1) It is flush with the wall (the Interlink SS7C sticks out a good inch from the wall)
2) It is quiet turning on and off (the Interlink SS7C is very noisy due to the manual motor it has inside)
3) It is back-lit (the Interlink SS7C is not backlit and has a super small display)
4) It does not require batteries (the Interlink SS7C requires a double-A battery and as you will see in various reviews, it has connection problems and causes the switch to fail often)
5) You can have it auto program based on your latitude and longitude.
I am sure there is a 6th benefit in that it is probably a lot more reliable than the Interlink, but I can't say that currently since I've only had it for a few days.
A 7th benefit (compared to the other Interlink switches) is that this switch can handle any type of light bulb.
Well worth getting this switch and avoiding the Interlink switches.
-------
Update: 12/28/09
I still love this switch. It has been very reliable -- no problems so far. I also just love the way it looks and operates. I hate ugly looking devices and this one does not disappoint.
I have it set up in "travel" mode and unlike other switches where it will just randomly turn the lights on and off _once_ during a set time period, this switch will randomly turn the lights on and off multiple times during a set time period. This way it is even harder to tell if someone is home. Just realize that if you use this mode and you are in the room during this time period, the light may turn off while you are in the room. ;-)

Offering easy installation and flexible seven-day programming, the Aube by Honeywell TI071 ECONOSWITCH Seven-Day Solar Programmable Wall Switch helps save money by ensuring that your lights come on only when you need them. This unit works with motors and all types of lighting, and it is ideal for indoor or outdoor use. SA and UL listed, the ECONOSWITCH switch features a sleek design that fits flush against a standard wall plate (not included) for seamless integration into your existing decor.

This programmable timer switch can help make you feel more secure and can also save you money on energy costs.
The ECONOSWITCH's three modes of operation make it easy to create a customized lighting program that fits your lifestyle. The manual mode operates via a conventional on/off switch. The automatic mode turns lights on/off at sunset and sunrise, or on at sunset and off at your own programmed time--this mode also adjusts for daylight saving.

Additionally, for each day of the week, you can choose sunset/sunrise programming, specific on/off times, or both.

Versatile Unit Features Backlit Display and LEDDesigned for versatility, the ECONOSWITCH works with motors and all types of lighting. It's compatible with electronic ballasts, compact fluorescent lights, and tungsten lighting up to 12 Amperes. For further convenience, a large, white backlit display includes a night light mode for easy reading in dark areas. There's also a confirmation LED for at-a-glance load status (on or off).

Intermatic WH40 Electric Water Heater Timer, Grey Review

Intermatic WH40 Electric Water Heater Timer, Grey
Average Reviews:

Easy to put on a wall, easy to hook up, doesn't make a sound. Important, when you take the insides out to mount, this is done by depressing the spring clip on top, and lift and pull out. Reassembly is reverse, but you have to make sure the side/bottom edges are behind the stops. If your not back and down all the way, the insides will seem loose and the timer will/could make noise, has you may read about in other reviews.
Our timer has not been mounted and running long enough to figure the savings, ours is set to run two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening. Our water heater, stays hot all day, every time we use water we got hot water all day and night when it is off mode. I am sure this will show great savings!!

Aube by Honeywell TI070-3W/U ECONO Switch Programmable Timer Switch, White Review

Aube by Honeywell TI070-3W/U ECONO Switch Programmable Timer Switch, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The timer works as most people have already discussed in their reviews, and is great because no other timer I have found will control compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL's). However, please be VERY careful wiring it.
A distinction that should be clarified is that this TI070 model must have a load OVER 40 watts in order to function. If you are controlling CFL's (as I am) that is more than 3 bulbs since a 60W incandescent equivalent draws just 13 watts. I actually had to add a fourth bulb to bring the total load from 39 watts to 52 watts (slightly wasteful). However, the TI071 model can handle loads less than 40 watts according to the instructions. But, apparently that model requires a neutral wire, which the TI070 model does NOT.
So, to summarize:
TI070 model: Needs a load of at least 40 watts, does NOT need a neutral wire connection
TI071 model: Can handle a smaller load below 40 watts, DOES need a neutral wire connection
Hope this is helpful!
UPDATE (8/1/10): I also recently bought a TI071 model (for loads below 40 watts) and it also works great. I am very pleased with these products because they can control CFL bulbs, and with our high electric rates here in CA, that is important.

My 4-year old daughter has learned how to turn on lights and the bathroom fan, but not to turn them off. Also, I often find that guests turn on the bathroom fan to help remove any foul odors, but they never come back to turn them off.
This timer is a perfect solution to both problems. It replaces a regular wall switch and gives you four buttons: 15 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes, and off. After the appropriate period, the switch turns off automatically.
The only downside is a very slight clicking noise when you turn the switch on or off, as the relay kicks in. The noise isn't annoying, but you should know about it before you buy.

Don't buy this type of switch for a ceiling fan.
I bought this to control a ceiling fan in my bathroom and it caused it to buzz/humm. It was very annoying and unacceptable. The fan is a standard type of 3 speed fan with a pull chain, not the electronic speed/remote control type.
I ended up buying an Intermatic brand switch that has the rotary knob and it works perfect.

I have been an electrician for 30 years. I installed 8 of these timers in my own house 5 years ago. Given that I installed them correctly they have worked wonderfully. I have never had one lockup on me. However, I have had 5 fail because the buttons broke off. They appear to rely on a set of very small plastic tabs that retain them against the spring tension. I have found that a tab will break off causing the button to hang crooked then eventually another tab will fail and the whole button will fall off. There is no way to repair short of total switch replacement as Leviton doesn't offer replacement buttons. The frequency of use certainly seems to be a factor as most of the failures are in the rooms most used. However, I think that they have a flawed design or material spec. problem. I recommend that you save your receipt for the warranty claim. Maybe they will get the message. I like the product just wish they would hold up better.

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
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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.

Programming Options to Meet Your NeedsThe SA310 Zip-Set Time Switch offers four additional independent on and off settings, as well as a random control option. Ideal for when a space is vacant, the random setting makes it look as if someone is in the space controlling your lights.
For manual control, simply press the on/off button located on the front of the timer. You can also use the 7-5-2 feature, which allows you to set times based on the full seven-day full, five-day work week, or two-day weekend.
Battery Backup Keeps Your Settings ActiveIn the event of a power failure, the battery backup system keeps your settings active, so you won't have to reprogram the Timer. The batteries are included and should be replaced every two years.
Warranty InformationThe Sylvania SA310 Zip-Set Weatherproof Digital Commercial Time Switch is backed by a one-year warranty.
What's in the BoxSylvania SA310 Zip-Set Weatherproof Digital Commercial Time Switch and two CR2032 batteries.

This switch is for only a small incandescent light bulb. The item description is false. If you need a switch for a fan or halogen lights or anything other than a regular old fashioned light bulb get the 20 amp switch 6215M.

I bought this for our bathroom because I always hate when I'm at someone else's house and I have to fumble around in the dark bathroom for the light switch. This thing barely lights up. You'd almost have to walk into the room several feet, then turn around to see it. I had expected it to be a little brighter.

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.
