Experiencing a hiccup with your pool timer not working?
Mechanical pool timer switches not working and Intermatic timers not working are common problems among swimming pool owners.
Intermatic timers can typically be fixed by checking there’s power to the timer, resetting the time, renewing the ON/OFF trippers and renewing the gears or timer motor. Most Intermatic timer parts can be renewed but sometimes the whole mechanism needs replacing. Common timer problems include the clock not turning, not switching the pump on/off, loose timer pointer and a stopped clock.

Typically, how long a pool timer lasts depends on various factors including the brand, model, and the level of maintenance. Generally speaking, a well-maintained pool timer can last anywhere between 5 to 10 years.
High-quality timers, like Intermatic timers, when kept in optimal conditions, are more likely to reach the upper end of this range. Ensuring that your timer is protected from the elements and is not subject to moisture or direct sunlight can help prolong its life.
