Need info on solar powered irrigation that needs timer system for transfer pump.

Hello and good morning, good evening or good night depending on when you are reading.
I am in need of some assistance if anyone is able.

A little background:
In the back, I have a 100w Solperk panel (gets direct Sun 90% of the day) connected to a controller rated upto 120w. This charges 2 12v batteries in parallel. The batteries power a 450gph transfer pump which pull from my 6 220gal IBC totes ( 2- 3tote groups) I will be setting a second system up on the side using 2 30w Solperk panels to a controller rated upto 120w to 2 12v batteries in parallel, and a lower volume 12v gph pump.

Currently, I am manually connecting/ disconnecting the clips for the pump to turn it on/off. I have a timer for the water flow ready to install.

To the meat of the question:
I am trying to find an outdoor (if possible) 12v DC timer, that I can put between the batteries and the transfer pump that will automatically turn on/off the pump a minimum of 2x a day for up to 10 minutes of runtime.

I'd rather not use an inverter that runs 24/7 and will drain the batteries faster than they can charge.

Thank you for taking the time to read and offer your knowledge and expertise. Any and all information, insights and/or tips are greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.
-Steven

Something like this? You'll have to come up with a water proof box. If you snag one please report back with your results.

Thank you very much.
I've looked at a lot of different timers but no one could ever offer any suggestions on a specific type/style/model. I appreciate your help.
I will check back in when completed.

Currently it's all in a heavy duty plastic tote that I drilled two holes in for the water lines, year later and the only water ever inside was when I first set it up and forgot the Teflon tape on the pump.
