A small issue...i am about to wire my aquarite. I found that my timer box has just one exit hole( 1/2") which my pump motor is wired to/through with a flex fitting. Is there such a thing as a "Y" or "T" adapter so i can run the wiring for my aquarite in to the same hole? ( Home depot electrical guy said he'd never seen one.

I though about drilling another hole, but if there is a better solution id like to hear it.
Thanks

If you have an Intex timer, it has additional "punch outs" on the bottom and sides. These are pre-scored holes that you knock out so you can add additional conduits. My simple timer has 4 of these (of which I am using 3).

Mine is an intermatic box, whern i went out to look at the name is discovered the there is infact one pre-scored hole, but it is so light i could barley see it before.
It is on the opposite side of the box than the aquarite, so i need to be a bit creative in running the flex, but not a big deal.

Thanks for making me look harder.

You can make a hole just about anywhere with a drill and a dremel tool ;)
