Outdoor Timer for Pond

[W. eWatson]

I have an outdoor dawn/dusk timer for use outside. My main use has been for
Christmas lights, but now I need something like it for a pond. I'd like to
set it for say 8 am to 6 pm, or slight variations to turn on the fountain.
Anyone know where I can get a more flexible outdoor timer than the dawn/dusk
one?

Mains timers cost only a few dollars at your local hardware store, either
electronic (with LCD display) or mechanical, I've got one on my outdoor pond
pump. More expensive ones are weatherproof if your mains power point is
exposed.

Thanks for the replies above. I live in a fairly small tow, 10-12K, in the

mountains, so don't have much choice locally. I did follow up on the link by
J. Fields, at one of our larger h/s stores and found something suitable. I
don't like the way it mounts, but that can be fixed. It just has a simple
notched hole in the back to hang it from a screw. I just need some minor h/w
to hang it on a PVC pipe coming out of the ground. Intermatic is the mfger.
