I would like to build a "feeder circuit" that would turn off my return pump for a certain period of time (say 15 minutes, but it would be nice if I could adjust that) after I push a button, and then turn the pump back on automatically. A second relay to turn the skimmer back on a few minutes after the return pump came on (after the sump level was back to normal) would be a nice added feature.
I have looked a bit at some time delay relays, but I am sure that somebody (DonW) who knew what they were doing could do a nicer job of identifying the appropriate parts and pointing me toward someplace I could order them from.

Thanks
 
This will turn off both pumps at the same time and turn them back on at the intervals you want.
