⌛️ Reliable and Versatile GE Heavy-Duty 7-Day Digital Box Timer Switch: Tamper Resistant, Battery Backup, and Universal Voltage – Perfect for Pool Pumps, Water Heaters, and More! Review

You know that feeling when you read a negative review and feel like the person just didn't know what they were doing or was overdoing it? That's how I felt. I thought they just connected it wrong, held it wrong, didn't pat it on the back after installing it. no wiring is what i do. Failed about 4 days after the return deadline. The unit gets HOT (I mean HOT) during operation due to the magnetic relays used. I've seen this before, so I thought it was ok. Worked as expected until one day it just…

Very bad design. The digital display is an LCD display and cannot be seen under normal lighting conditions. I have to turn off the light in the room and then work with a low-power flashlight to see the display. A purely mechanical timer would be much easier to work with. The terminal blocks are also poorly designed and have a hard time accommodating the many thick wires needed for 30 or 40 amp power cords. The manual's documentation is very poorly written. I have written several professional…

I read the instructions 4 times and the connection diagram makes no sense, see fig. It does not indicate that the load cable is on a separate circuit, but that it is common. The instructions are provided with a video link and are easy to understand. It was easy to install, it's a good powerful timer with lots of features. I appreciate the design of these devices, especially the terminals. The terminals are very well made and easy to use. I used this timer on a 120/12 volt well transformer and…

I bought this timer to control an electric water heater. It replaced a mechanical timer that failed due to a broken spring, and we didn't bother with the noise when it was made. I liked the quietness of this timer and the fact that I could bypass it and cancel the cycle. We didn't like the big sparks the shooters make as they toggle on and off. There are also indicator lights inside so you'll have to open the box to see if the load is on. A year after installation, it began to warm up and then…

Looks good and works great so far. I use it to start a pool pump and expect years of reliable performance, unlike my mechanical timer that had a clock motor failure. With digital clocks, this problem should not occur here. The only thing that bothers me is the poor contrast of the LCD. Barely legible in direct sunlight. Maybe they should switch it to a color LCD in future models, e.g. B. Bright white on a blue or black background. Overall I am very happy with the purchase. *Update: Turned off…

I've been using the timer for a few months, it works well. However, one thing to note during installation: I set the timer to the afternoon and then set the program so that the pool pump turns on at 8:00 a.m. and off at 9:00 p.m. The pump was supposed to turn on in the afternoon, but it just wouldn't turn on. It took me several hours to trace the wires and switches but nothing came of it. Then I called the support. The technician said that was normal. Since this was a new setting and the time…

I have a previous model of this timer. Although advertised as a backup battery, no spare batteries are supplied. But what if they fail and you have an electricity tariff that charges up to 49 cents per kilowatt during critical price peaks on hot summer days to prevent a grid failure? and you rely on this timer's batteries to set your watch to the right time, it could cost you! We installed it on a 1.5HP well pump. The batteries are said to last 3 months after charging as a backup. do not start…
