I thought about putting a timer on the thing a couple of years ago so that the pump's not running 24/7 but...when I investigated the idea I read that it wasn't a good idea. I cringe now but I was still enslaved to the pool store, when I checked with the pool stores they both said the same thing. Couldn't exactly tell me why though.

Where in the set up is yours, how does it connect to the pump, and how do you waterproof it? Is it a special timer or just one you'd put on your lamps? How many hours a day do you run it? Sorry to shoot questions at you but I'm curious since it seems to work for you despite the pool guys dire warnings.
