#@^&% Intermatic timers

[Kustomreefer]

I have 7 Electronic Intermatic timers that care constantly going bad on me. One stuck "on" when dosing my alk. supplement for 1 hour and almost nuked my 225 reef! Any one using another brand they could recomend or have any luck with these timers? I'm getting tired of returning them to Home Depot for new ones.

I have always been using the regular mechanical Intermatic timers and have never had any problems with them.

Thanks reefah, I also use some of the mechanical Intermatic timers and they work great. I just need the electronic ones because they can be set to go on and off in a minute or more. The mechanical ones don't have that shot of a cycle.
