Depends on the model you get.

those intermatic timers are real workhorses. i have a few of them still in service going on more than 10 years. only problem is about half of them emit a fairly loud ticking sound after 3 years or so.

Any one else go thru the cheaper lamp times quickly from I guess using them on ur light, running to much juice thru the timer? I went thru one every 6 months or so, but the one dedicated to myco2 celenoid never had an issue...

Not me. I've been running some for as long as 5 years without a problem (but mine are all digital).

I still run the dual outlet brinks digital timers. They are solid. Rated for 15 amps and lights/c02 solenoids dont take 15 amps. Over the course of about 9 months. They have drifted time by 9 minutes.
Or maybe ive drifted time

I just wish i could get a resonably priced timer than has independent dual outlet control!!! I dont need an aquarium controller for a 29 gallon!!
