Build Repeat Timer! DIY Aeroponics/Hydroponics Timer!
This is a DIY video to build a 35 min repeat timer with 50 second intervals for Aeroponic and Hydroponic applications. This video will show you what timer and tools you need and how to construct it in a very easy to do simple way. I have done 1000’s of these and other aero projects that I will upload later on so please subscribe! If you don’t want to build it your self, visit GrowColt.com or www.ebay.com/sch/chirocolt45/m.html to purchase one cheap from me. Hope you all enjoy!

What interval would work best? I read that 2 seconds on, 2 minutes off is good but using this, what would be the ideal with this timer?

I must have been asleep when i watched this video last. LOL. Anyways, question for you. I hear these things are rated for heavy appliances or 1875 watts. If i were to plug a power outlet into these 3 prong hole and then plug a small water pump and hand held rotary device will the timer still work fine? Another question, can this or another inexpensive timer be changed to operate on 5-10 sec on and 2 min off? Just a curious aeroponic enthusiast with many questions. Thanks!

This is actually a single outlet 3 prong westek timer in the video. A 2 prong timer does have different internals and so does the westek 3 prong dual outlet some times. I will show you a video next week how do modify these units next.

I notice the 24Hr timer you take apart is he 2 prong socket. Does the same concept apply to 3prong socket timers? I mean is the interior of the 3 prong timer different? thanks

– I just have a knack for this kind of stuff. I have been taking apart everything I ever had since I was a little guy!

the only thing i can assume this does is ….it spins around every 35 minutes….and each notch is for turning it on or off 50 seconds…..cool
