Heavy duty? good for me

I'm disappointed, but admittedly, I can't say for sure that this timer is to blame, but it looks like it.I intentionally ordered this one because it was heavy duty. I wanted to put my water heater (technically a diesel boiler) on a timer so it wouldn't waste fuel at night. It doesn't have an electric heating element, but it does have an electrode that ignites the fuel when it turns on. I was finding that my boiler was popping its internal fuse almost every day, but since taking it off the timer last week, it hasn't popper once.Other than this suspicious behavior, it's an excellent timer for the price. but you might be wary if you have a heavier duty application. I wonder if others are seeing issues like mine?

Pros
  • The timer can handle up to 1/2 HP, making it suitable for many outdoor applications
Cons
  • The extension cord may be prone to tangling and knotting, requiring frequent untangling by the user
