OK, did I get a deal here or not... I found some timers at HomeDepot that have 12 on/off settings per day. Could I plug my power heads into these timers and use them for wave makers?

They are fine if you are ok with 6 cycles a day. Most people like more.

Lets put it this way. You could use them. A real wave maker turns the power heads randomly aat timess about1 -10 mins apart. Your idea would work, but thepower heads would be comming on for and hour and then going off for an hour.

That's what I thought, it would probably work, but I would want them to come on and off more than what these things could do. Anybody want to buy two timers? They will work great on lamps etc.! Best offer gets them.

FYI, I was able to pick up one of those light timers from LOWES with 1/2 hour increments....it has tabs permatley attached that you slide up and down for one or off. It is not the best...but not too bad for $8.99!

I've used that set up before. Worked well for me. A real wave maker would be better, but that's better than nothing.
