Typically, how long a pool timer lasts depends on various factors including the brand, model, and the level of maintenance. Generally speaking, a well-maintained pool timer can last anywhere between 5 to 10 years.
High-quality timers, like Intermatic timers, when kept in optimal conditions, are more likely to reach the upper end of this range. Ensuring that your timer is protected from the elements and is not subject to moisture or direct sunlight can help prolong its life.
