The resistor and capacitor helps you to adjust the time period (or frequency) of the timer.

(Usually astable multivibrator is used as a timer in electronic circuits)

More the resistance, less is the current flowing through it. If the current flowing through is it to charge the capacitor is less, then the capacitor charges slowly. The timer changes it's state when the capacitor charges to a specific voltage ( Usually 1/3Vcc or 2/3Vcc). As it is made to charge slowly due to the high resistance, the clock frequency decreases.

In the same way, to increase the frequency of the timer, the resistance value needs to be reduced.

Can you use a plug in mechanical timer with a pool pump?

Yes, you can use a plug-in mechanical timer with a pool pump, provided the timer is rated to handle the pump's electrical load. Ensure that the timer can accommodate the voltage and amperage requirements of the pump. Additionally, it's essential to use a timer designed for outdoor use, or to protect it from moisture, as pool environments can be damp. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for both the timer and the pump to ensure safe and efficient operation.
