GENERAL INFORMATION

Many of today’s energy efficient pools and spas
utilize the advantages of a single electrical panel,
containing all the necessary controls for the safe,
efficient and automatic operation of the pool/spa
equipment. In addition, this Panel can also be
used to control any outdoor equipment, sign or
pump within its rated capacity.

The all-weather enclosure contains none one or
two heavy-duty, industrial grade Time Switches.
Also, it has provisions to install switches inside
as well as a switch or GFCI receptacle on the
outside.
The Time Switch can also accommodate an
optional heater control (fireman) switch.

The Control is designed to operate any pump,
within its rated capacity. However, if protection
to prevent dry start is required by the pump
manufacturer, it must be provided in addition
to this Control. Contact pump manufacturer
if not sure and/or for more details.
