Aqualight analog power center

hoppy · 05-15-2008, 08:39 AM

Has any one had trouble with these??? Other than ME!! I have gone through 3 of them in the last 6 months... The last one only worked for 2 weeks!! I am running a Aqualight Pro HQI fixture. 3 150 hqi's, 4 96 watt PC's and moonlights
The timer is supposed to alternate the PC's and moonlights but ends up keeping the PC's on all the time.Swithches the HQI's fine. It cant be overriden once it sticks( other than unplugging the light or switching the breaker off..
Just wondering if I am the only one and if any one has any suggustions as to how to fix it or another good timer.
Thanks,
Jeff

I opted not to purchase one of these due to all the bad reviews. I use an inexpensive multiplug, GFCI center from Home Depot.

Yes. I started out with the same timer and had trouble with it as well. My halides would sometimes fail to switch off. As Scott says, there have been a number of bad reviews - including claims of fires. Google "coralife power center fire" and you should get a few links worth reading. You are not alone.
