First what I try to accomplish: I have a small fountain in the garden, and I would like to make it every half hour for one minute to turn on so the freezing cold (-10) doesn’t break the pump and the casing. Taking it all apart is lots of work, so I would like to avoid that. When it’s not freezing, I…
