Digital timer power bar on clearence at Rona

[MadgicBug]

I was at the Rona in Richmond and they are clearing out the Woods 7 day digital timer power bar for $14. The look identical and programs the same as the the Aquarium Newtek ones. Basically they have 4 plugs on constant power and 4 plugs on the timer....it doen't have the night time setting.

The aquirium ones, the 4 timer plugs are set for 2 for day and 2 for night (alternate from one another)

I assume that the other Rona's will have them too, but I would give them a call first.

Just a heads up the digital ones operates a little different that the traditional mechanical tab ones. Easiest way to do it is to set it and let it cycle through 1 day or set the "on" time 1 min ahead of the actual time to get it switched on and then set it to the your actual on time.

Thanks for the heads up!

I'm using mechanical ones picked up at Home Depot for $5. Works great. I have three tanks in one area and one timer did all three!

I have a hard time finding a three pronged mechanical one (or its expensive), which is why I like the power bar version better.

Mechanical ones are cheap at Ikea (about $5-8 for a double-pack if I recall correctly?)...but not sure if they're 3-pronged...

I purchased those timer power bar from Rona before. Bought 2, used them for less than a month, both stopped working. Took both back and got a refund.

Just my experience with them.

I have been using these power bars for over a year. The only issue is that the time changes faster than the real time. Need to reset it every 6 months or so or else it will be off by about 30 min.

I've had mine for about 2 - 3 years now... I noticed that it has some minor issues as well. I find that sometimes if I pull one of the plugs out, it'll reset the time, and clear the memory...
