1. P1353ME Programmable timer
P1353ME is a 3-circuit, 24 hour programmable timer with 3 on-off events per day, per circuit, repeated each day. The 3 circuits can control 3 separate loads (pump, lights, spa etc) ... and control each with same or different schedule .... or the P1353ME can control 2-speed pool pump and 1 other load depending on which of the 6 modes is set. Has a Countdown feature.
Use 3 white buttons on face of timer to manually override programming.

Each of the three 17 amp relays is rated for 1 Hp pump/motor at 120V AC, or 3 Hp at 240 volt AC. Buy PE153 Buy: P1353ME timer replacement

The electronics are protected by a fuse located on back of timer.
Image of back of timer

Default input voltage is 120V AC. 
Or use jumper on back to select 240 volt AC. This is the voltage that powers the timer at terminals 1 and 2. Example wiring
The 3 relays at terminals 3 thru 8 are dry; They receive no voltage when timer is connected to power at 1 and 2. Relays can control either 120V or 240V AC.
Power must be off before any wiring is done or accessories added.

There are accessory connections on back of timer for fireman's switch and Intermatic 178PA28A freeze sensor. See image of installation
Fireman switch turns off gas heater 15-20 minutes before pump is scheduled to turn off, while freeze sensor will turn pump ON when temperature drops near freezing.

2. P4043ME and PE24VA Valve actuator
P4043ME will rotate two or three PE24VA motorized valve actuators to change water flow from pool to spa, or spa to pool.

How it works: Connect 120V to white-black wires on back of the P4043ME, or connect 240V to red-black wires.

There are 2 black-white wires on bottom of P4043ME. Connect these wires to the remote switch, for example a single pole switch, spring-wound countdown timer, or wire LY2 relay to Intermatic radio receiver, home automation etc. Energize remote switch wires with 120 or 240 volt.
Wire single pole remote switch/ 120 or 240V
Wire timer as remote switch 120 or 240V
Wire remote control for remote switch/ 120V only

If a momentary switch, or push button is chosen for remote swich, instead of ordinary on-off switch, then move jumpers on back of P4043ME from 1-2 to 2-3.

The P4043ME has an internal transformer that produces safe 24 volt AC output.
When the remote swtich changes position, 24 volts travels through the Intermatic 3-wire cable going to each PE24VA motorized valve actuator, so each valve rotates to opposite position at same time, changing water flow from pool to spa, or spa to pool.

There is a 3-terminal heater thermostat connection on back of P4043ME. If a 2-thermostat heater is connected, then heater changes from high to low or low to high whenever valves rotate.

Remote switch connection can be connected to a relay on the 5-channel PE653RC (shown below), letting you use the wireless hand held PE953 remote control (shown below) to rotate valves and change heater thernostat as described above.

3. PE953 Wireless Hand held Remote
For people wanting wireless control over pool functions, Intermatic makes the wireless hand held PE953 remote control that works with the 5-circuit PE653RC multiwave transceiver.
Manual says the remote works with  "MultiWave functions and other Z-Wave devices," and is guaranteed to work with Intermatic multiwave equipment.

The wireless hand held PE953 is primarily made to communicate with one 5-circuit PE653RC multiwave receiver (shown below) which lets you control up to 5 loads including a P4043ME valve actuator (shown above) and 3 additional loads or a 2-speed pump and 2 additional loads etc.
You can configure two PE953 remotes for same 5-circuit PE653 multiwave receiver.

The water-resistant, PE953 wireless hand held remote can schedule on-off times for 1-2 speed pump, variable speed pump, booster cleaner, water flow to pool-spa, water and air temperature to prevent freezing, configured for other manufacturer's zwave devices .... or use the 5 override buttons located on face of remote.
