Need help with wiring Intermatic timer

[kellyfair]

I am not going to finish the wiring until tomorrow because I need a lock nut connector for the right side knock out to run my cord through. But my electrician put an on/off switch on my post, which I like, but as you can see, it makes the wiring a bit crowded. I’m only gonna wire my salt water generator to the timer. You can see the wires in one of the photos - I’ve got black - hot, green - ground, and white - neutral, if I’m on the right track here.

My question is - do I run those wires into the twisting connectors right (circled in red)? I don’t want to hook them directly to the screws (circled in green), or do I? And any idea why there’s a wire hooked up to #2 position? Everything is 110v.

Black goes under the blue circled screw.

White goes into the wire nut with the other white wires.

Green goes into the wire nut with the other green wires.

Great, thank you! (And now that you said it, makes sense!)

I can't tell from your pictures how the on/off switch for the pump is wired, but you want to wire your SWG so that it is turn off by the switch at the same as the pump. I would guess that probably means fishing the switched leg from switch back up to the timer box and splicing it to the black for your SWG. Alternately if the switch box has room, bring the power for the SWG in to there instead of the timer box.

I’m running the pump 24/7, so it isn’t going to be wired to the timer.
