GE 24-Hour Mechanical Pool Timer Switch – 40A/2HP, Outdoor NEMA 3R

Effortless daily scheduling for outdoor loads

The GE 24-Hour Mechanical Time Switch brings simplicity to power management for outdoor equipment. Built for reliability, this rugged timer uses a 24-hour cycle with 30-minute interval pins, letting you program multiple on/off events across a full day. It supports universal voltage ranges (120–277 VAC) and can handle loads up to 40 A or 2 HP, making it suitable for a variety of outdoor devices such as pool pumps, fans, and heaters. A single-pole, single-throw configuration keeps wiring straightforward while enabling flexible control for diverse setups.

Designed for outdoor use, the timer sits inside a weatherproof, NEMA-3R metal enclosure. The housing is tamper-resistant and lockable, providing added security against unintended adjustments while protecting wiring from the elements. With convenient block terminals, wiring is secure and straightforward, even for higher-load equipment, and the unit offers options for either single- or dual-load control to power two 120 VAC devices from a single timer.
