Product Overview
Description
There are a lot of timers and controllers available, however there are key design limitations that make most of them unsuitable for Aquaponics / Sandponics. Cycle timers, for example, do not allow different schedules between day and night. Likewise most irrigation timers do not allow you to control your devices (pump or valves) for enough events. Some timers may have enough events but are not be designed to control multiple devices. such as turning one valve off and another one on, as well as a pump.
Leaving the pump on
Water flow in aquaponic sandponic systems is often controlled by turning the pump on and off for a specified periods of time. This is very hard on the pump and will result in a significant reduction of your pump's service life. It is much better to leave the pump running all the time and control output using valves. This requires that the controller turn on and off multiple valves, something not generally provided for with standard timers / controllers.
