Tenax, glad to see you're getting closer to completion of your project! We use Intermatic timers to control our pools, they slave the heater to the pump run time. They also allow for a 'firemans' switch which disables (or shuts down) the heater within 20 min of start up or turn off, to protect the unit from over heating and being damaged from the heater turning off before it has adiquately cooled down or firing without proper flow (these things have many redundant protection switches). It's senseless to have the heater run independantly of the pump, without enough flow the heater shouldn't fire anyway. So have your electrician slave the heater to the pump timer.
