Plug-In Timer…

Tue Dec 27, 2011 4:51 pm

Howdy all, random question:

I have a sump pump based keg cleaner, and am looking for some kind of timer to plu it into, so that I can set it for 20 minutes and walk away.
So far all I'm finding are 24-hour and vacation type timers, or timer switches that have to be wired into an outlet.
Has anyone seen anything simple that can just plug into an outlet and run for 2-030 minutes, then shut off?

Thanks!

walk into an Ace Hardware store and ask for power control timers. There'll be a selection from which to choose

No fine control, but $10: http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Conserve-S ... B003P2UMS0
If it were me, I'd make a box using the bathroom timer. That would give pretty fine control.

I agree, buy a light timer they use in bathrooms, a double gang box, a GFCI outlet and an extension cord. With about 30 minutes of work you'll have exactly what you need.
