With new turf I was required to water daily. To save me time I bought this device. Bit fiddly to ensure no water leak at tap and required plumbers tape to ensure no drip fit but very flexible timer which works really well. Recommend.
Bought this for my aunt who is living on her own and of the older generation. I set it up in my garden first as just to ensure it works and at dusk it came on no problem. Will take it to her garden now as it’s already set up and save time as the older generation sometimes can’t wait!!
Overall very impressed
These tap waterers are all very expensive. I used two of this model (and one of a different model) last season. The problem with this partcular model, the Hozelock Sensor Electronic water timer with daylight sensor, is that although it seems easy to set up, it is pretty hard to tell whether you have got it working properly: this apparently simple design needs to be simpler.
Not having used the sensor controller yet I am impressed with the prompt delivery and the way my son was able to fit the units. It took a few minutes to connect the two hoses but seemed to be working well for two fittings. As the soil is sandy and gets very dry time will tell as to how long a time will be needed to keep the plants and shrubs alive.
We have used tap timers (not Hozelock) for several years but they have proven to be unreliable to the detriment of our hanging baskets and potted plants.
This dawn to discuss option fits our requirement exactly. we like the simple dawn/dusk sensing and the ability to let the` tap flow for other uses by the simple press of button.
We are so pleased with this product that we have just ordered a second one to cover our rear garden watering requirements.
Strongly recommended.
The first of these did not work but Hozelock and Amazon were very quick at sending a replacement. We have just used this for a week and it has been fine – it’s easy to install and there is enough variation on the programmes to work for most people. No problems so far.
Our old one from Hozelock lasted 10 years before battery connections rusted up and we could no longer bank on it’s reliability. Noted that this model is an upgrade; although it does have one build fault that they should rectify. The front panel which has all the timer features on it, is just a push fit to main body. Two screws holding the front panel in place would have been a far better improvement. Will either fit a fat elastic band around it, or even better still a removable plastic tie. Has anyone noted any faults of concern with it?
So easy to use, set time period one one side for twice a day, the other side for once, and it comes on after dawn and/or dusk. Minus one star for the battery running flat after it had activated, meaning my sprinkler was lon for 12 hours instead of ten minutes.
Works fine but lid over batteries does not clip firmly into place and the sticker at one end holds it in place – which not impressive and makes one doubt it’s longevity. Bought 3 and water drips out of centre of one. Took some fiddling and an extra washer to get seal to work well between tap and controller on two.
