                Not the same quality as Intermatic. But, it did what we needed. Secondary WH we only turn on an hour per day. Nice thing is this doesn't require a neutral. (2 hots and ground) Some reviews complain about 1 set of trippers. A WH usually runs about 3 hours a day. So if you need 2 sets, you probably don't need a timer.

                Out of all the different types of timers I selected the one for the specific task I wanted to control. The timer was made for control of the hot water heater function and easy to install.

                I wish I had bought the Intermatic model, this is a cheaply made product from China
