Water Pump Timer Videos
Considering BOM-T?
BOM-T includes Clock Timer and Cyclic Timer functions. The TPM-T video is a three-phase example; its daily-runtime and recovery behaviour describes TPM-T. Check the BOM-T specifications and supplied guide for your setup.
See how allowed clock hours differ from total daily running time. The power-cut and day-reset example uses TPM-T daily run-time mode.

Garden pump timing
Choose the running time for your garden.
20 or 30 minutes are examples, not a rule for every garden.
Two different timer jobs
Clock hours set WHEN pumping is allowed.
A daily run-time target sets HOW LONG the pump runs.
TPM-T: power-cut example
Daily target: 30 minutes. Already run: 10 minutes.
After power returns, 20 minutes remain.
Water, power and protection checks still apply.
TPM-T: day reset
At the day reset, unfinished minutes from the previous day are cleared.
Allowed-hours clock mode
The pump stops at the set end time.
A missed run does not resume outside the allowed hours.
Choose the mode first
Check the exact model guide and motor rating.
Other models may use different restart rules.

View TPM-T clock, cyclic and daily run-time features
In TPM-T daily run-time mode, remaining minutes can resume after a power cut, subject to water, power and protection checks. Unfinished minutes from the previous day clear at the day reset.
In the described allowed-hours clock mode, pumping stops at the set end time. A missed run does not resume outside the allowed hours.

Other models may use different restart rules. Confirm the exact model, motor rating and operating mode for your watering plan. A 20-minute or 30-minute run is an example, not a watering rule for every garden.
Before installation
Match the model code, supply phase and motor rating before choosing a controller. Electrical installation and wiring should be carried out by a qualified electrician using the guide supplied with the selected model.
Before choosing a pump timer
Decide whether you need allowed clock hours or a total daily running time. This video's power-cut and day-reset example uses TPM-T daily run-time mode. Match the exact model, motor rating and operating mode to your watering plan.
Check the TPM-T features used in the example.
Questions before choosing
How do I choose between allowed clock hours and daily running time?
Allowed clock hours define when pumping is permitted, while a daily running-time target defines how much operating time is wanted that day. This helps you choose between a time window and a duration-based watering plan. Decide which job you need first, then select the model and operating mode that provides it.
How does TPM-T resume the daily running time after a power cut?
In the TPM-T daily run-time example, a 30-minute target with 10 minutes already run leaves 20 minutes after power returns. This lets the described mode account for the remaining daily operating time. Configure that TPM-T mode with the appropriate water, supply and protection checks for the installation.
How does TPM-T start a fresh daily run-time plan?
In the described TPM-T daily run-time mode, unfinished minutes from the previous day clear at the day reset. Each day’s target can therefore be planned with that reset behaviour in mind. Choose the daily duration and confirm the selected mode during commissioning.
How does the allowed-hours clock mode respect the end time?
In the described allowed-hours clock mode, pumping stops at the configured end time and a missed run stays within the allowed-hours rule. This makes the operating window a clear part of the schedule. Set the allowed times for the site and choose a different appropriate mode if the requirement is a total daily duration.
How should I choose a watering duration for my garden?
The 20-minute and 30-minute runs are examples of user-selected durations. Choose a duration for your own planting, source and pumping arrangement rather than using an example as a universal setting. Then confirm how the selected timer mode applies that duration.
When is a cyclic run/rest pattern useful?
Cyclic timing repeats configured ON and OFF periods, while clock timing uses chosen times of day. This gives you a way to distinguish a repeating pumping pattern from a morning or evening schedule. Choose run and rest intervals for the motor and actual source-water conditions.
When is an Auto-Off timer the useful choice?
An Auto-Off timer ends a run after the configured duration. It suits a timed job where the required stopping point is expressed in minutes. If the stopping point should follow the tank’s actual level, compare an appropriate level-control model alongside the timer options.
Which hardware should I compare for the timing job?
TPM-T is the three-phase panel used for the daily-runtime example, while BOM-T is a single-phase borewell/openwell panel with clock and cyclic timing. DEV-K3 is a single-phase auto-switch option and DEV-P2 is a three-phase option. Compare the actual pump, supply and control arrangement, and use each model’s guide for its own restart behaviour.
How can I connect the timer choice to my water requirement?
Choose a timer when the operating target is a duration or a schedule. Use a suitable water-measurement method when the target is measured litres, or level control when the target is a tank level. Identifying that job first helps you choose the useful function rather than relying on running time as a water measurement.
What should a timed-pumping setup include?
Match the model, supply phase and motor rating, then agree the operating times, duration, start delay and interrupted-run behaviour. Have the installer configure protection and test the selected operating mode for the pump. Keep the model guide and settings available, and isolate the installation before maintenance where automatic starting is enabled.
