## Description

Enjoy customized, efficient irrigation with this water control system. Set 3 schedules, water manually, and connect to sensors for optimal water usage.

Review: Does the job, very easy to set up - Slightly more than I wanted to pay, but proably the only timer that will water for two short periods during the night. It is so easy/simple to program that I didn't open the instructions and found it no problem at all. One comment about the display - if you hold it a particular angle to the light, all of the characters available on the screen can be seen, rather than just what you have selected. I want it for a low pressure misting/watering system, and the pressure reducer (Hozelock 7022) screws directly onto the bottom of the timer. Also, a couple of words of caution from bitter personal experience. Never attach any plastic gizmo bigger than a hose connector directly to a tap - one slight knock and it will crack. Fit a 3/4G adapter/male hose connector to the top and then use a short length of hose to connect to the tap with standard hose push connectors. I used about 4 feet of hose and the timer is hung from the wall a couple of feet from the tap and above it. Drain it for winter. Get a black plastic bag - a bit of a compost bag or one that has been used for a mail order delivery - cut an inch across one corner and fit the bag over the timer, the supply coming in via the cut corner. The timer should last many years not being exposed to the sun.
Review: Very good timer. - Very good, simple to use. Three timers, seven days a week for how ever long you want to water for. Battery will last for two years if remove and store over winter. Good quality reasonably priced.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Warranty for it?**
A: Hello,

GARDENA Manufacturing GmbH grants a warranty for all original GARDENA new products for two
years from the date of original purchase from the retailer, provided that the devices have been for
private use only. For more information please use the follwing link: https://www.gardena.com/uk/warranty/

Best regards
GARDENA Service

**Q: Can 'gardena select' be attached to double tap to control two sprinklers at same time?**
A: yes. I use gardeners two to one outlet and attach two different timers. Reason is because of mains water pressure. Water pressure is reduced substantially if two garden sprinklers are used simultaneously. I set the timer so that it starts with an hour delay.
My other set up uses the two for one adaptor and I water two areas simultaneously,I only need a reduced pressure to water that area

**Q: Would it withstand high temperatures, e.g., 50 degrees Celsius?**
A: Hello,

The temperature of the water flowing through may not exceed 40° C.
At high temperatures (above 70 °C at the display) the LCD display may go out; this has no effect on the programme sequence. When it has cooled down, the LCD display reappears.

Best regards
GARDENA Service

**Q: In manual mode, can a runtime be set? eg, sprinkler left on overnight problem.**
A: I assume by manual you mean overriding the timer by switching to ON mode. On the model I have,  as far as I am aware the water output from the timer would remain on until switched  to OFF or back to timer mode.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does the job, very easy to set up
*by B***C on 25 May 2025*

Slightly more than I wanted to pay, but proably the only timer that will water for two short periods during the night.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good timer.
*by A***K on 24 June 2025*

Very good, simple to use. Three timers, seven days a week for how ever long you want to water for. Battery will last for two years if remove and store over winter. Good quality reasonably priced.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Flexible and way better than the Karcher version but watch the frost
*by J***R on 20 January 2021*

Just like the master units, we got a bunch of these in the summer. They worked flawlessly until the first frost when over half of them burst. There's a small icon on the packet to indicate they should be protected from frost but it's an expensive mistake to make and it should be much more obvious that they have minimal resilience to the cold.
