Water Timer Electronic Hose Sprinkler Garden Irrigation Controller Two Dial,No Water Pressure Required

I bought 1st a different timer and later 3 of these. The blue one is working fine a few weeks into service. I use this timer to drip irrigate from a tub onto an individual tree until it can get established. My mountain soil is so poor it passes water through fast and wont retain moisture.This timer doesn't require water pressure- it just opens and shuts. Adjustable down to once per hour and as little as one minute. I get three days of watering repeatedly through out the days. You do have to watch them and make adjustments. That 1st one, a green different brand, is giving me trouble. These blue ones, once dialed in, are working with out any issues. Uses two AAA batteries. There is no clock to set. Time starts upon setting- three blinks to say ok and occasional blinks regularly timed to indicate 'all's well'. Good price and quick shipping. I'm pleased with them. Look at my photo to see the setup. A tub with flat sides, a bulk head fitting or a drain fitting for a swamp cooler-same thing, sprinkler fittings and away you go. I have on the very end a round drip fitting with a 1/16" hole in it to slow watering down even more but you don't need that. Literally 1 minute once per 2 or 4 hours will suffice. Try it out for newly planted trees or shrubs. I had an orange tree and watered by hand every day but it just stayed alive and got smaller. With this setup I have, now it's put on new growth, looks like it will make it now.

After posting the below review, the manufacturer reached out to me and offered a full refund. I asked if I could get a replacement instead, and they sent one out right away. Within two days I had a new timer and am once again really happy with how it’s working for me. 5+ stars for customer service, and the timer really is a nice one.I originally really loved this timer, it worked great and did exactly what I needed it to. However, after 5 months it stopped working. I was hoping it just needed new batteries, but it was completely dead. There is no warranty information anywhere on either amazons site or the manufacturers site. So it appears I’m stuck with trying to find a timer that will hopefully last at least long enough for the batteries to run down.

The product was easy to use but didn't last long.I used it to water my garden with fresh tap water utilizing a 40 psi 12 volt RV water pump.The garden is off grid and the power is from a solar system.The water is transported from my home and stored in a 525 gallon bladder.The timer lens began to fog and some water was found inside the timer.I have purchased another Brand of timer.

I understand the concept of setting the timing cycle. Set both dials to off and then turn on the timer at the time you want it to cycle on the next start time whether it be once a day or four times a day. The part I can't get right is the duration for the timer to water. I set it to a 24 hour interval with an on time of 3 minutes. If I change that duration from 3 minutes to off because it rained and I don't want it to cycle that day the timer will not cycle the next time if I set it back to 3 minutes. I have to go through the entire setup sequence again by turning both dials to "off", wait for the flashing lights and then set it back to a 24 hour frequency and a 3 minute cycle time. I would think that moving the cycle time dial from 3 minutes to off or increase it to 10 minutes would not effect the water valve opening and closing. Maybe I have a defective unit. Outside of that issue I am super pleased with the timer. It works perfectly with my zero pressure rain barrel setup.

UPDATED: Company was very responsive to negative review and gave full refund. We are going to try another one of their timers this time.I really like the simple design of the analog timer and it seems well-built, but... I've had it installed in the shade, and it worked for 2 months before I noticed that my plants hadn't been watered for over a week (rain barrel not going down). Interestingly, the valve still opens or closes if I select that option manually, but the timer (set to every 48 hrs) doesn't seem to be working any longer. This may be the biggest downside of the analog setup as there is no way to tell if the timer is ticking down towards another watering. Difficult to troubleshoot. I'm going to try some other time intervals (every 24 hrs vs every 72 hrs) to see if they might still work, but I think I'll opt for a digital display one as a replacement.

This product works well and provides good flow to your lines in the first few weeks. However, they all stop functioning after 3-4 months of use. I have already bought 7 of those units, and 5 of the 7 are now not working after 3 months. I would not purchase this unit again.

Product worked fin for a couplr months ,then went to check and water was gushing on the ground because the timer broke. It's worthless and can't be trusted.
