Love the battery level display, love the rain delay function and these are good irrigation timers but 1 of the 6 that I have bought so far is faulty so have just throw it away after only a few months use. It would be great if the rain delay could be programmable for more than just 1 day of delay. I hope the remaining 5 timers all work as they should do!
Used for a whole summer with micro irrigation system. My plants thrived without needing to water myself. Never missed a watering. Very happy with the results. The setting was easy and straightforward.
I bought seven of these units to replace units from a major brand, as I have a large garden. They are easy to program and more efficient / flexible with the watering durations. My only gripe, and it happened twice this week, Amazon delivered the items without an envelope, and this particular box was opened and left open by other tenants at my flat. Why should everyone know what you bought? More ‘ save the planet’ excuses rather than a respect for privacy and protection from prying eyes. Not happy Amazon.
We have been using cheap timers for some years, you know the ones, roundish with 2 dials to set duration and frequency. They generally last between 1 and 3 years but after that they fail. We have now invested in this brand of timer and they work faultlessly. No more fiddling with batteries or cleaning terminals to get them to work. They shut down the screen into “sleep” mode and also have a battery warning light. As our garden has expanded we now need one more timer, and yes it will be one of these. The only advice I would give to users is to keep the instructions somewhere safe.
Excellent timer and feels solid and well made. Bought it to replace another similar unit of a different make with 2 outlets and it was a doddle to install.
No leaks and didn’t need the manual to set up, 5 minutes and both outlets set up and running.
Time will tell but very happy with my purchase.
The product is well made and very attractive compared to others on the market. The instruction book is well lid out and easy to follow.
Installation was easy to follow – I had problems of leakage with a previous alternative product. Timing settings and Manual operation work perfectly . Best of all – a great spray with no leakages whatsoever.
BRILLIANT!!
It took me a few goes to understand the timer and when I wanted to use water with no timer. Now that I’ve done it a few times it’s easy to use. Just follow the instructions in the booklet, it will make sense. I used it for my plants when I was away on holiday, 2 weeks, and I was very happy with the results. I’m still using it in a corner of the garden so I don’t have to water that space. Wish I’d got one years ago
The only drawback is that there is pressure loss between a direct tap connection and connecting your hose through this device.
Otherwise, it’s perfect. Ran 25m soaker hoses and rectangular and circular sprinklers off a 4-in-1 adaptor that connected to the output of this via a HozeLock Pro connector. Gave them an hour every few days in the morning and the tomatoes seemed to love it. I’m in East Anglia where it doesn’t rain much so regular watering is a must to avoid getting split fruits.
Manual and delay features are great to navigate going away but would be nice if there were more customisation settings for a longer time period. But it’s so cheap that maybe that is perhaps asking too much of whatever micro-controller they put inside. It lasted a year (and counting) without a battery recharge through record breaking temperatures (at both ends) so I’m one very happy bunny.
On the face of it, this unit is perfect as a cost efficient way of watering your plants and garden whilst you’re away or if you just want to automate the watering. It comes with two 15M small hoses and all the spray/drip heads which you can customise to match the layout of your garden. I’ve come to use it after it sat in the box for nearly a year (just didn’t have the time last year) and it seemed like the perfect solution…until it ate two sets of AA batteries on each test of the two tests I performed. As soon as the internal valve triggered, the battery indicator on the display went from 4 bars to no bars almost instantly. It did manage to switch off after the specified number of minutes, but it wouldn’t work again after that and the batteries had to be replaced again. I was expecting a few weeks out of each set, not one activation, which makes it pretty useless when we are away. I ordered another unit just in case I have a faulty one and I’ll update the review when I receive and install it.
After some trial and error eventually set up two watering patterns using two of the programs.
The water sensor appears to work well and can tell if it is raining and pause the watering.
Used a set of water pump pliers to pinch up the connections and no drips are present.
It is a well priced unit and so far works well
High quality construction left me very impressed, so much so I have bought another unit to expand my system. Large clear display and big easy rubber buttons. Menu system is straight forward for anyone capable of programming a VCR or central heating timer. No leaks. Some minor caveats – see below.

REVIEW:
Date: 22nd May 2020.
The water timer is made from very durable black plastic and weight in at a hefty 410 grams. Power is supplied by 2 off AA 1.5v alkaline batteries, housed behind a press fit (toolless entry) water proof battery cover. I would like to have seen the cover have a retaining string to ensure that it cannot get lost, however the fit is perfect so it would not come off unless removed. The front of the unit taken up with a large display which is very clear and well sealed against water ingress. The lower half is for buttons. These are made from rubber and have a good feel to them. Removing the 6 retaining screws in rear of the case allowed access to the internals which reveals more high quality design. The whole unit is weather sealed and the electronics are housed in their own compartment away from the water valve (and view) and further sealed behind white silicon. The valve uses a latching solenoid valve which appears to be servo assisted. Servo assistance relies on water pressure to open the valve. This means the unit must have at least 2 metres (0.2 bar) of head minimum in order to operate reliably. No problem for mains water supplies but would be an issue if you wish to use it with a water butt for example. If you wish to water from a butt you may wish to consider something with a motor actuated value such as Hozelock AC Plus as this does not have any minimum water pressure requirements. I’ve had several Hozelock timers and this is higher quality (Hozelock are by no means poor either!). Comes with Hozelock quick connect adapters and screw fittings for 1/2 and 3/4 inch standard outdoor taps.
