I have a circulating hot water loop and have two illuminated three-way toggle switches controlling it. I figured people would stop leaving the motor running when they saw the switch was illuminated, but I was very wrong. So I am wondering if there is a mechanical, spring-wound, 60-minute switch that could be wired in by each of the three-way switches? Having only one would help some, but having two independent timers would be a lot better. The switches control nothing other than the circulating pump.
