I understand all of the above and have owned two Intermatic T104s and have replaced the guts with the M104 inserts. That doesn't negate the fact that they both fried under different circumstances. I'm not saying the GE won't ever fry, but I'm done with Intermatic, who want 3X the price for...

Good to hear things are working for you. Durk is on the money again on the interchagability of the lines. 240V devices cycle back and forth between the two 120V lines, so which one hits first is not a big deal. On the other question, yes the switch runs hot, but that shouldn't be a problem if...

No worries Wes. Just like to see things buttoned up, whether they're required by code or not. Usually code in the Great White North (my family is from Canada) is stricter than what we get away with here in the States. I have the same GE Switch running to my pump and salt chlorinator in the...

Durk is spot on about the breakers. I just couldn't trace the lines coming from your breakers in the picture. If the lines going to the timer switch are coming from the red breakers and the red breakers are bound together, then you've got 220v running to your timer in the form of two 110v hot...

Check the required voltage on your pump. Many pumps either require 220/240v or can be selectively set to 220/240v or 120v. If your pump requires 220/240v, both your white and black lines may be hot, with the third wire being the ground, which I assume you joined to your ground source using the...
