Note
- Make sure your pool water is clean and chemically balanced (pH and chlorine) at all times. If you use a chlorinator or a salt water system, readjust the flow accordingly. Your timer might not be compatible with your automatic chlorine or salt dispenser. Check with your retailer and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- If you have a pool heater, don’t use a timer since the circulating pump will have to work whenever the heater is on.
- You’ll need a master electrician to install any in-ground pool timer that needs to be connected to the distribution panel.
- Don’t use a timer with a pump above water level unless there’s absolutely no risk of it losing its prime.
