Things that can fail in this setup -- the controller itself, and the relays. That said, for me it has been running for over a year without a hitch.
Cool. The reason I called it a power supply is because on all the websites I have looked at it is called a power supply. I know it is nothing more than an individually switched power 'strip'. I just like that all the plugs are in the back. I am a neat freak and am looking for a way to clean up my electrical. Right now my two Coral Life timers have cords going everywhere and I hate it!

BTW, great idea on the Wasser-controller!
