If you get the cheapo push button timers, you'll have 15 on 15 off.

Just another option for you if you have to resort to plan B.

buy better timers... ive owned 3 15 on/ off timers and never had one go south... and on top of that you can go up to 45 min off and on for the e z cloner

i dont know wher eyour buying your timers but id never had a timer fail on me its a e z cloner... its suppose to run 24/7 if its to hot and your cant risk a 15/15 timer maybe you should try like a custom timer you can set yourself.... other wise i dont know of anyother options...


the best timer i found for a ez cloner is the 4 off 1 on timer... 80$ from cap i believe

if you're IT-savvy, one similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/NP-0801D-Swit...Q6ZI/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1318198804&sr=8-7 with some scripting would provide a very nice addition.

get something like that, along with a phidget SBC, add a few ph sensors, water temp sensors, and other stuff for automation. phidget sbc has 8x analog inputs, 8x digital outputs (use for pumps/other stuff), and 8x digital inputs (level switches most likely, or other on/off inputs)

not the most straightforward or cheapest thing ever, but can provide the flexibility to have sub-minute control over 110v devices.
