That equals 0.28 gallons a day.?. $1 a day (at today's prices)!!
This little timer has paid for itself and then some..
Seems that solar assist is helping out too. Dang, I've got to optimize that thing ASAP..

It's been 73 days, and we just had a visit from the Oil truck! He Pumped in
50.7 gallons.
@ $3.49 quick-pay-discount, is $176.94
50.7 / 73 = 0.6945 gallons a day, which is only a tad high.
That's more than our goal (0.5 gal per day), but we did have a couple
of nights when we used some back-up oil-heat, and a few evenings,
when we needed extra hot shower water..
Over all, we've been very happy with the operation of the Timer..
Edit:
This morning, we decided to change the timer to 8:30 AM.. For reason, see
