Tips in Finding and Installing a Hot Tub Timer

Using a hot tub timer has numerous advantages. It allows you to turn on heaters, pumps, and filters at a set time. A timer can also help you set a time on when to turn on the cleaning cycle so that maintenance becomes less of a hassle. To help you find the right hot tub timer, here are some information worth checking out:

Types of hot tub timer

Twist timer

A twist timer usually allows you to set time, from 1 minute to sixty minutes or an hour. This type of timer serves as a tool to remind you when to turn off the tub or certain tub functions. Most twist timers serve as reminders for you to avoid staying too long inside the tub.

Electronic timer

Modern electronic timers usually display digital read-outs. Using electronic timers is quite safe, even if you place them on areas that usually get wet. This is because the amount of electricity that flows into an electronic timer is so low. Compared to a twist timer, an electronic timer is more accurate.

Whatever type of hot tub timer you choose, make sure you get one from a reliable manufacturer or retailer. Also opt for a timer that comes with a product warranty.

Installing your hot tub timer

Once you've selected the right timer for your hot tub, you can now install it. If you really don't have any clue on how to install one, you can just contact a professional. But if you want to do it on your own, look for the timer trippers. These are usually labeled as "on" and "off." At the bottom of the timer, you'll see the screw terminals. Attach these terminals to the appliance or tub wires. After attaching it, set the time and you should be good to go.
