You could install a timer that would run longer, But the timer is a safety and really should not be modified.

How long did you have in mind ?


Good Luck.

Typically the motor load is going directly through those old timers. Because of that they will have more robust contacts than a general duty switch. Find a good electrician, and he can install a relay/contactor to isolate the motor load. Then you can use any kind of switch you like. Lutron and Leviton both make decora style time switches, with multiple conditions(5/15/30/60 mins). They won't last with a decent motor load passing through them, but can be used as a basis for control.

You need to see what load the pump presents, then you have a chance of identifying a suitable alternative timer switch. If you're lucky, either the switch or the motor or maybe a data plate somewhere will indicate what the load is.

Now I feel much better.

Jim has weighed in on the discussion. It's not done. Till the "Big Red Shoe" says it's done..... From how to go pooh in Turkey to fixing a a Jazzuizi Timer The Big Red Shoe Knows all. I wonder where he cut and pasted that tidbit from? Do they teach this stuff at the Schluter workshops? I must have been going pee when the pump load discussion took place.

You show pictures of every EXCEPT where the timer is located. If it is on a wall box, then companies, such as Grainger, have many "twist to set" timers which could replace it, depending on how it is wired into the circuit.

Should be at least 5' from the tub, on a wall. Those twist to turn timers look ugly AFAIC. Something like this is much more contemporary, but can not be used alone, as it probably won't last with a tub motor load.

If you really wanted to get crazy, we could go Bluetooth or WiFi control, with water temp monitoring, and flow control from your smartphone.

If it has a IP address it can be hacked.

I am still waiting for you to get your new T-Stat installed so we can test that theory.

Many of the newer timers have a Buzzer built in, to wake your ass up, in case you fall asleep.

It keeps you from coming out looking like a raisin, or drowning.


Have Fun.

For a switch to last, it has to be rated for the load it is intended to control...so, you must do some research on how big the pump is. Without that information, you will not be able to match up a suitable switch.

The data plate on the motor may say something like 5.0A, or 1HP (or maybe both). Turning on motors is different than turning on a light, so the type of load must be known and how big, otherwise, all you'd need to worry about would be the wattage.

It is not hard to find a replacement, their site has it.

But the OP wanted one that had a longer on Time, Any mod is not good, for safety reasons.

The OP never came back to see all of this BS, and never will.


Have fun.

Don your forgot to pee on this discussion. Your dropping your standards.

Does not matter if the original poster comes back. What about the hundreds and thousands of viewers going forward? They will be helped.

Your post got me to thinking - maybe 20 minutes is the longest you are supposed to jet away???

We have a jacuzzi timer from a different brand, but I think they match up with any kind of pool or hot tub. Anyways, doesn't have a time limit! We love it! Even gives us remote access. they are calling it an equipment timer, its made by nanospark. hope this helps! good luck!
