No complaints. Used everyday all of last summer on a rain barrel to water the garden. Was simple enough to setup and never failed on us. Would buy again.

Zero pressure water timers are not easy to find. This one works beautifully...when it works. Seems like every time I make a time adjustment it takes days to make it operate correclty. Directions make it sound easy...what actually happens is not. I looking for set and use functionality. I don't want to mess with resetting, cycling or what ever other majic it takes. Currently looking for another option.

Starting and stopping the sprinkler during summer months is really troublesome. Earlier I had a mechanical timer that can be set only to shut off; and you need to start it manually every time. I was looking for a smaller sized electronics timer that fits well in our double faucet outlet. This one is a perfect fit for that. Also, the protective transparent PVC cover is a plus for this system.Though programming was a bit troublesome but once you go through the supported manual, then all will be very clear and easy to set up the timing for On and OFF. I kept two programs for watering for all days of the week. For that following are the steps:Install the battery:Press the big orange button and pull the blue cover out to place two AA batteries. LCD screen will show up.Set current Time:Click "Timer" (3rd red) button > In LCD screen Hours will blip; increase Hours by "+" (4th red) button multiple times > Click "OK" (last red) button, to set Hour, And now in LCD screen Minutes will blip; increase Minutes by "+" (4th red) button multiple times > Click "OK" (last red) button, to set Minutes.Set Program 1 & 2: (watering to start at 6:00 and to end at 6:20 and again at 20:00 till 20:15)1. Ensure system is AUTO state, by clicking "Manual/Clear" (first red) button.2. Press "Program" (second red) button. It would set to program-1 ON state.3. Click "+" (4th red) button multiple times > Click "OK" (last red) button, to set the days of the week for watering. I choose MO TU WE TH FR SA SU - i.e., all days of the week.4. In LCD screen Hours will blip; increase Hours by "+" (4th red) button multiple times till it is showing "06" > Click "OK" (last red) button, to set Hour, And now in LCD screen Minutes will blip; increase Minutes by "+" (4th red) button multiple times till it is showing "00" > Click "OK" (last red) button, to set the Minute. It would now be set to program-1 OFF state and in LCD screen Minutes will blip. Increase Minutes by "+" (4th red) button multiple times till it is showing "20" > Click "OK" (last red) button, to set the Minute. Thus, watering time in Program-1 is set from 06:00 to 06:20.5. Next, it would be now set to program-2 state.6. Follow the above step 3 and step 4, to set the next watering time for 20:00 to 20:15.Forcing Manual watering:Click "Manual/Clear" (first red) button to set in Manual state. Watering will start. After some time, you can click it again to OFF to stop watering or you can set durations in minutes till watering stops. After every such manual operation click the same button to set it in AUTO position to kick off Automated programs.Switch off the System:Click "Manual/Clear" (first red) button to set it in OFF state, to completely switch off the timer from watering.

Easy to change the batteries. Haven't had to do that yet, but from other reviews it looks like I will soon.There's a light that flashes that lets you know the batteries are functioning.Moderately easy to get the times set up. Decide what time you want it to start (say 4 AM). Set the timer the evening before at 4 PM. The timer will start working 12 hours later at 4 AM. A little confusing, but easy enough.One BIG missing item is "run manual now". Not there. And there doesn't appear to be any way to do that.Another missing item is "rain delay". The only way to pause the timer is to turn off the water at the faucet.The main reason I bought these timers (got 3), is the fact that they are not digital. The digital timers I've bought in the past work for one year (maybe 2), then the screen becomes unreadable due to sunlight (??). Once that happens, when you need to change the batteries, there's no way to change/adjust the settings. Can't read the screen.Overall, I'm happy with them so far. Hopefully, I'll get more than one or 2 years out of them before I need to replace them.

I bought this to set up while out of town for a couple of weeks. It worked fine for a couple of weeks before our trip. While out of town, though, one of the timers quit working and flooded our garden. Thankfully our neighbor noticed and turned off the water.The thing is also just flimsy. The lid broke off when I lightly bumped it with my leg. The knobs also fell off easily.Lastly, this was a pain to use. You need to set the timer at the time that you want it to start running, then wait for the next day to see if it worked.Just buy a nicer one. It's worth the extra $15-30.

The timer system delivers water at low pressure making them ideal for rain barrel irrigation systems. Read the manual. If you want to start watering at 0600, you must physically set the timer at that exact time in the morning. WRT to FREQUENCY, the timer will not activate until the next cycle. (If you set the FREQUENCY at 24 hr, the cycle will not start until the next day at 0600.) When installing the batteries, carefully pull out the battery compartment as wires are attached at the bottom. The dual timer is great -- I switch the irrigation line to the second timer when I need to water manually thus preserving the timer setting on the first connection. I bought two dual timers and they work great. Great price, too.
