Intermatic 4 Function Air Switch with Timer, RC2343PT

The Intermatic RC2343PT is an air switch with a built in 24 hour digital timer. Air switches let a bather operate equipment from the pool or spa deck without any electrical wiring at the button, which is why they remain the standard way to control jets, blowers and lights from the water.

How it works

A push button on the deck is connected to the switch mechanism by flexible air hose. Pressing the button sends a pulse of air down the hose and steps the switch, and the equipment responds up to 75 feet away. On this model the mechanism also carries a digital 24 hour timer with multiple daily programs, so a filter pump can run its own schedule while the manual functions stay available.

What it can control

Filter pumps, jet pumps, booster pumps, blowers, lights and heaters. The timer can switch a single speed or a two speed pump on and off several times a day. The clock supply is rated 120/240 VAC at 60 Hz.

Before you order

The air buttons and the air hose are not included with the switch, so plan on ordering them alongside it if you are building a new installation rather than replacing an existing mechanism.
