My timer for my water feature looks like your Intermatic T101R3 timer. I do not have an instruction manual. Can you e-mail me some simple instructions for using this so I won't get charged an outrageous amount for a 5 minute lesson after payying man $$ for a water feature. Appreciate it,

120Volt T101R3 can be changed to 240volt T104R3 by changing clock motor from WG1570 to WG1573

EJ500 7-day or astronomic timer is incandescent light bulb timer.
Different timers have different Load ratings.
Intermatic ST01C timer can control CFLs.
Aube timers have same wiring capability as Intermatic, and offer CLF control, but you have to choose either astronomic timer, or 7-day timer.

Using manual switch should operate load, no matter what the clock dial is doing.
If manual override is not working, AND clock motor is not working, then power supply from breaker box is suspect.
T103 has 120Volt clock motor, but timer can control 240Volt loads.
Test for 120Volts across terminals A and 1
Test for 120V from terminal 1 and ground wire.

I don't recognize Paragon TC-2.

Intermatic cross reference does not have that model number either.
http://www.intermatic.com/customer%20service/competitive%20cross%20reference.aspx

Paragon sent e-mail last month saying they were no longer making timers and parts, except for defrost timers. Your water heater timer is not defrost timer.

Here is a wide selection of water heater timers, electro-mechanical and digital:

Manuals and wiring diagrams are shown for most products on page.

I recommend simple 240Volt Intermatic WH-40 for price and reliability. Drawback is minimum 1 hour on-off.
Or Intermatic T-101 for 120Volt heater or T-104 for 240Volt heaters sold at Lowes.
Intermatic trippers and motors are available and interchangeable, and are made of steel.

Some new timers are made with plastic parts:
GE 15207 is universal 120V 240V and sold at Home Depot.
Tork has new universal electro-mechanical timer, TU-40 for 120 and 240 applications

I use GE 15070 in-wall timer from Home Depot for my water heater because I change times frequently and try to shave every dollar:
