Product details

The Intermatic T101P201 is a 24 hour mechanical time switch in a Type 3R plastic enclosure, wired for pool heater protection. The clock runs on 120 volts at 60 Hz and the switch is SPST.

What heater protection means

A gas fired heater keeps heat in the exchanger after the burner stops. If the filter pump shuts down at the same moment, that heat has nowhere to go. The result is the pounding and knocking owners hear at the pad, plus accelerated scale and lime deposits inside the heater. This time switch is built to turn the heater off approximately 20 minutes ahead of the pump, so the pump goes on moving water and carries the residual heat away. It is a small piece of sequencing that adds years to a heater.

Duty and ratings

These are heavy duty mechanical time switches with high motor load ratings, used on commercial, industrial and residential jobs. The dial supports up to 12 ON and OFF operations a day with a minimum of one hour between them. Beyond swimming pool and spa filter pumps with gas fired heaters, Intermatic lists the family for booster pumps, lighting, hydro chlorinators, fans, air conditioning, heat pumps and music and signal systems.

Mounting

The Type 3R plastic enclosure is rated for outdoor use, so it can go on the equipment pad. Plastic also avoids the corrosion that eats metal enclosures near salt systems and chemical storage.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What makes this different from a standard pool timer?
The heater protection function. It is set to turn a gas fired heater off roughly 20 minutes before the filter pump stops, so the pump keeps carrying heat away after the burner shuts down.
Why does that matter?
Heat left in the exchanger with no flow causes pounding and knocking, drives scale and lime deposits, and shortens the life of the heater. Running the pump on afterwards clears it.
What voltage and switch type is it?
The clock runs on 120 VAC at 60 Hz and the switch is SPST.
Can it be mounted outside?
Yes. It comes in a Type 3R plastic enclosure, which is the rainproof outdoor rating.
