I haven't been able to get the timer to work properly ever since it was installed about 2 years ago when we got our 21ft round above ground pool. I just ran the pump manually. This year, I'm sick of having this be no more than a switch, so I want to get it working.
After the timer hits the off tripper, the timer stops running.
If I pull out the dial, and set it to 12 noon, trip the switch at the bottom to on and then let the pump run, the pump goes off at 6pm (as it should) but the dial stops moving. It moves fine if I flip the switch back on, so it seems to me like the switch shuts power off to the timer in addition to the outlet it controls. Could the installers have mis-wired it? If so, how? I'm comfortable working with electricity (installing lights, outlets, etc, but I've never worked with a timer like this.
Timer stops just after happy hour. I know how that feels
