    i put a mj1200 on a timer,on for 10 minutes off for ten minutes, comes on an hour before the lights goes off an hour after{12 hours of 10 minute intervals} it messes the flow up pretty good! how long will the pump take it for though?

    I have all 3 of my MJ's on a timer(natural wave timer), they are turned on and off every 3 minutes. They have developed a click when they kick on, but other then that they seem fine.

    That click is where they need to be cleaned or the magnet needs to be replaced.


    MJ's are suppose to be pretty tough and one of the few that can take the constant on/off cycles.

    MJ's are good to go on timers
