Charge Timer

Since I'm now on a time of day meter, I need to take advantage of the lower rates after midnight by using a timer.
If I was using 110 vac I could have used a $3.00 timer - actually, probably not, but a cheaper one, just the same...
I use 220 vac so I needed to use a high end timer designed to control an electric water heater - $41 at Home Depot.
The instructions were pretty clear and wiring it up was pretty simple.
Now I'm charging at $.05 a KWH.
