Your swimming pool is the ultimate recreational space at home; and like everything, it requires maintenance to keep it in optimal condition. A timer is an idyllic device to run your filter system at set times each day. Not only it will help automate the filtering process, but it will also provide you additional time to relax and do other things at home.
All swimming pool owners know that the process of water cleaning, conservation and treatment requires maintenance so that precious liquid remains in excellent conditions for its use. Since we all have our time compromised, it is difficult to have 6 to 8 hours to handle the filtering process for your swimming pool, regardless of the size of the oasis. Therefore, there are two alternatives: hiring a specialized pool maintenance company to do the job or installing a timer to run your filter or booster at specific times each day to help keep your pool clean. In addition to having set times to run different pumps on your pools system, you can also set different features such as lights, spa jets, water features, and any other features to turn on and off at specific times each day.
At Platinum Pools, we highly recommend these types of Intermatic time clocks that we offer:
