I would like to replace the relay which triggers a water pump, with a relay which times out after, say, 10 minutes. And if it times out, it stays locked out until reset. Needs to be 230v AC on both sides of the relay. If it doesn't time out, the next time it's triggered it should come on...

Hope this is the right subforum - the flooring section seems to exclude tiles, so I'll pick this one! Long story cut short: Popped into Focus today expecting to get nothing, came out with a load of tiles and 5m2 of Vitrex floorwarm underfloor electric heating for nearly 60% off. Hurrah...
