    Default Mains timer advice

    Im in need of advice regarding timers I have .
    Im currently using the normal mains analogue mains timers running on various extensions . Ive recently added a UV and wanting to put that and the pump for it on a timer also . my problem is that Its getting seriously messy around the tank and wondered if you can buy such a thing that is like an extension block that has a single digital timer that controls all the sockets individually.
    thanks

    Theres this but i would use a digital timer then plug a block extension lead in to it and make it look tidy miles cheaper

    or why dont you screw the block extensions inside the cabinet and leave enough room top and bottom to add timers that's what i did to the last tank and didn't look to bad

    One thing, don't run the UV pump on a timer, just the UV light. If you run the pump intermittently then you risk stagnant water building up in the UV during the off period, and then dumping it back in the tank when it comes back on.
