Rheem RTG-74DVP Direct Vent Liquid Propane Tankless Water Heater for 2-3 Bathroom Homes Review

Intermatic T104 208-277-Volt DPST 24 Hour Mechanical Time Switch Review

It operates a single on/off cycle during a 24-hour period, which is adjustable, requires 230 volts for operation and switches both poles (hot wires).
