Yeah, if you use 120vac, you can use a cheap timer.
The best one I've used lately is this model. http://ecorenovator.org/forum/sale-t...-usd-ebay.html I'm planning to use one of my transfer switches to supply inverter output power (with a Timex timer) to one of my 'day time' loads.. Just need to hook it up.. http://ecorenovator.org/forum/solar-...project-2.html Iota ITS-30R Transfer Switch | ChargingChargers.com |
Nice ...but if you can find many more water heaters for your house then you can go for naaptol. in which you can choose according to your requirement.

Had a timer on WH for years, then poco quit the nighttime lower rate. HAve separate kw-hr meter on wh also. So disconnected timer (for use somewhere else)
Built box around wh with R25 insulation - went away for 2 weeks and only used 2k kw-hrs. Timer with insulation would gain almost nothing with added insulation. |
