I would like to put a separate timer on the SWG as I want to be able to run pump 24/7. I know people here always talk about the cost issue of that, but I just don't like ever seeing any floating debris or stagnant water. I guess I'm just kind of anal about that. Would a separate timer cause any issues?

That is fine. Ideally you should wire the SWG so that the pump must be on and the SWG timer must also be on. That won't make any difference if the pump is always on, but is a good safety feature to have in case the pump gets turned off eventually. That is fairly easy to do, just wire the input to the SWG timer from the output of the pump timer/switch. If you do that, you also need to power the SWG timer circuit from power directly so the SWG timer continues counting time even when the pump timer is off.
