    Why didn't I think of this before?! Such a simple and effective solution. I was looking at expensive app connected options. This is awesome, thanks!

      You're welcome! I've had a few of these timers for over 10 years, and they're still working great. At less than $6 each, they're hard to beat. Thanks for the comment!

    Menards has cement mixing totes for 12 dollars. you can set this on top of a Brute tote with Ebb and Flow fittings. It is a supper cheap Ebb and Flow system. Give it a try maybe. I like Ebb and Flow. 8" netting pots can grow large plants.

    Hey there, great video!
    What if one intends to run the pump for say 15 minutes (or 10 or 12 etc) instead of half an hour (like the intervals set on this particular mechanical timer)
    Thanks :)

    • @HydroHowTo
      @HydroHowTo  2 года назад +3

      Thank you! Some mechanical timers have 15 min intervals. For smaller intervals you’ll need a digital timer. This Vivosun timer allows for up to 20 programed times per day: amzn.to/3pBkl1P (aff)

      It’s pretty quiet, but it does make a slight mechanical sound.

    Can you use this as an OFF switch only? I always turn on my moms tv manually.

    • @HydroHowTo
      @HydroHowTo  2 года назад

      I haven’t tried this with a television, but I think it would work the way you’re intending. Most televisions don’t automatically turn back on once they’ve lost power for a significant amount of time.

  • @surinamefawaka6510
    @surinamefawaka6510 Год назад +1

    Can the interval be adjusted to 40 minutes run time and 20 minutes off. Or do you have the link to a timer that does that?

    • @HydroHowTo
      @HydroHowTo  Год назад

      I think this one is 15 minute intervals so it’d be more like 45 on 15 off.

    What happens if I turn off the power 🔌 ; will the timer ⏲️ still work at the current time it's set for? Do I have to turn the dial, again?

    • @HydroHowTo
      @HydroHowTo  2 года назад +1

      The timer needs power to keep time correctly. If your timer goes without power you’ll need to turn the dial to the correct time.

    How do you reset the little black dials -- if you press them by mistake?

    • @HydroHowTo
      @HydroHowTo  2 года назад +1

      To reset them, just pull them back up with your fingernail. There is a little lip on the outer side of each of the buttons. Hope that helps!

      If I click three dials at different times. Will I have to keep clicking the black dials daily at those intervals?
