Anyone used one of these timers from Canadian Tire?
 
Lamp Timer
Heavy Duty Grounded Timer
Daily Digital Timer

Please let me know which of these might keep PROPER time so I don't have to reset them every few days.

I have no experience with those.. but I will tell you this. make sure it is a grounded timer. Anything else is pretty much useless IMHO.. I have one from Home Depot.. it even has Daylight savings on it.

The light hoods I have don't have a ground leg on their plugs. But everything is plugged into GFCI outlets, so no worries.

I tried the Heavy Duty Grounded Timers. One of them died after 6 months, and the other Died after a year. But They got really wet once sooo...

I replaced them with Digital Heavy Duty Timers from Home Depot. I like these digital ones a lot. They Even have randomizer settings that you can turn pumps off / on randomly (but only 14 times a day per pump)

They cost $30 instead of $14 for the non-digital ones, and they are grounded.

I've been using the cheap lamp timers for years. "Intermatic" is the mfg. I think. They're all consistant. Reliable in my books and ten bucks well spent...
