If I want to get hot water during a time period for which the timer is not set is there a way I can easily turn on the pump &amp; then turn it off ?

The best way to do that is to keep the pump in the on position plug it into an outlet that is on a switch so then you can just turn the switch on to activate the pump

mine doesnt have an ''on-off'' switch,, check the batteries and make sure they are in the right position,,after that the 3 control knobs I played with them a little in the beggining,, but that was mostly to get the hotest water I could,, good luck

The pump has no on / off switch. Bring a 6 'cable that plugs directly over the receptacle. I have it connected to a timer, it works perfect.

There is a switch on the side that has low, med, and high settings. As far as being able to hook up a thermostat that is a little out of my area of expertise, but I assume with the proper knowledge you should be able to. I assume mine is wired that way right now. Thermostat calls for heat, boiler comes on, once the boiler reaches a set temp the pump comes on. Once the boiler reaches a high set temp the boiler shuts down but the pump continues until a low set temp is reached. Guesses only.

You could start it using an electric timer but you can't shut it off with the timer because of the cool down cycle that it has to go through.

Not that I know brad, u can only set a timer for it to turn off in.between 1-8hrs,

The pump has an on and off switch as well as a timer. It can be set to run all 24 hours a day or for a specific period.

You don't need a timer. The unit has a thermostat and turns on and off at set temperatures. Yes you can leave it unattended. It has worked very well in our pump house!

If you have the recirculating model, hot water should be instant (if programmed correctly). I program mine to turn on the re-circulation pump in the morning for showers, and again around noon, dinner, and at the end of the day. This way your not wasting energy heating/circulating water at times of the day when you're not using it.

There is no adjustment -the heater is automatically "on" when the water is being circulated. Works very well in keeping the water temperature about right. If water temp gets too high for comfort-not our experience- you can just shut off the circulating pump.

Not really, you select on and the amount of time by pushing it more than once when starting. Push on and push 1-3 more times to select the amount of time you want it to run -same button. Don't think you would be able to set it up with a timer, I could be wrong. It does run for a long time, it holds alot of water.

When you use button it will start circulation water, until teperature rich point, that set at the factory inside of the pump.After that it will automatically shuts off (1-3 minutes)

No..It is designed to turn on and off at temperature set points. There isn't any way to control the "time" when it hits a set point. The only time setting is in-between the low shut off point and the high turn on point. If you were heating in a refrigerator with an element then it shuts off it is here you have control of the time..(it's called controlling the "short cycle")..after it shuts off there will be some residual heat at first then it will be absorbed or dissipate in short time...like 8-10minutes. So you set the "lag" time for like 15minutes, so then the controller will not check the temperature for 15min. THEN turn off if it needs to cool down more. That is the only time control in this controller. The only way to work in your case is you would need to place a 10min. timer between your controller and the pump. the problem being is you'll need a timer that re-sets after it shuts off..Not easy,but not impossible either!

Yes there is an on/off button for use at any time you want. Remember, it takes a few minutes to warm the tank, so turn it on before you use the hot water.

yes you can. our pump never turns off but the salt water pump only runs three hours.

No, this is a strictly mechanical switch, you need to manually reset timer after power failure. I have been using this combination of timer and electric water heater for close to 30 years and believe it is even superior to the current fad of "on-demand" heaters.

there is not an automatic shut off. You do have the option of turning it on so that the machine runs for 1 minute and is off for 1 minute, or something like that. I'm not exactly sure of how long the on/off time is, but it's quite sshort. There is a clear raised line inside the water reservoir for the max fill line. Sort of reminds me of the clear raised lines on the clear caps of liquid laundry detergent. I either take it in the bathroom to fill where there is good light, or I only fill it half full. If it is empty, it will not run.
