Stop start circuit / switch 10s run 10s stop then repeat

Hi All,

I am after a Switch that will run a 12v device for 10 seconds then switch the device off for 10 seconds and continue to do this until unplugged. (time is an indication and if I can adjust the settings it would be ideal) What is the best way to achieve this. The device will be a 12v bilge pump.

Note i'm not exactly electronics savvy so simple English would be appreciated

I look forward to you feed back

Check out the OMRON DH48S-S timer. It may be what you need.
