Old and rusted Tork Timer - Looking for replacement

[mrbookmanlibrarycop]

Hey All,

Looking to replace this Tork timer that is installed on my pool currently. Didn't even try messing with it last year (just moved to house in August), but figured I'd try and get it replaced before i open in a few weeks.

You can see it probably hasn't been used in a good bit and has turned into a bees hangout, and before i call an electrician to get a new one set up, i want to figure out which one to get.

Are Torks still a good timer to get? Really just need something to control the motor on/off so i don't have to run it 24/7
Can you tell what the voltage is needed through the pump? I see timers that say 120, 240 so want to make sure i get one that will work (super novice on electrical work, hence hiring someone to install ) Have a centurion switchless motor (pic attached)

Thanks all in advanced!

The four wires indicate it is controlling 240V.

Replace it with an Intermatic T104 timer...

If the box is exposed to moisture/rain, get one with a "R" in the model number (T104R indoor/outdoor).

Thanks ajw, one other thing, my timer is outside so is this good for outdoors?

You can get the mechanism for about $40-$70 depending on the model. That might be the path of least resistance. I had a Tork for 25 years and only recently replaced the mechanism (got it from homedepot.com). Works fine for me.

@sktn77a Is that just a matter of removing the current mechanism and replacing? Keeping the metal box? Seems easy enough i could just rewire

Correct. Just get the same model replacement mechanism and its pretty much plug-n-play!
