I need a timer that can turn on every other day.

I have a iws imperium plus pump timer, but I have just realised after working out how much solution the pump pumps out etc, that it's not capable of "every other day"

I have looked into 7 day timers, but that won't work every other day as there's 7 days a week.

please help...

all I have seen won't do it.

BUT I have just had a thought.

I have gavita el2 controller with ecm modules "they turn power on to ether lights on or off" now if i plug in my iws imperium feeder into it & set it on the lights on module, when it turns off, itll turn feeder timer off, so acting as a timer before the feeding timer.

so, try get my brain working now.

48 hour period, minus 2x 12 hour periods equals 24 hour.

am I thinking correct?

so lights turn on at 9am & feeds @ 9.30 for 5 mins. at 9pm lights off & feeder timer stops, 9am lights on, but feeder timer is 12 hour behind, 9am lights on, 9pm lights off, but feeder timer is primed to water at lights on 9.30am

am I thinking correct?

Instead of trying to use the gavita controller why don't you just use a second digital wall timer to control the other times you want it off ?
