    yes, the intermatic timers have little 'on'/'off' pins you screw on to set the run cycles. My electricity is a LOT cheaper from 9pm to 9am so I run 2 cycles first from 9pm to 12:30am and the second from 6am to 9am .

    No runs during the day and I have no problems.

    Ah, the ol' timer. That was too obvious

    Is it difficult to install/wire them? My pump is hardwired to a breaker box. Only have experience with the little indoor plug-in timers.

    Is this one I found on Amazon what I need? http://www.amazon.com/Intermatic-T10...dp/B00002N5FN/

    That is the one I use. You can buy extra pins at Home Depot for multiple run cycles... I can't advise on the ease of install. I'm not allowed to change a light bulb without calling the city first to have the grid powered down ... me and electricity = trouble.
