Product Description

Incredibly easy to use, this electronic water timer from Gilmour offers four on/off watering cycles per day so your yard looks its best, even during hot summer months. The electronic keypad is a snap to set thanks to the easy-to-read digital display that indicates program steps and selections. The one-week clock repeats the cycle every seven days, or you can choose the skip function for watering every second or third day. There's also a convenient countdown timer running through the duration of each water cycle and the option of manual or timed on/off, so you always control the watering amount and duration.

To help make programming even easier, the electronics are removable (just squeeze the side grips and pull), and the swivel nut allows for a quick connection to the faucet. Change your mind about the program you chose? Select the program override function to temporarily suspend watering. For added convenience, this Gilmour timer runs on four AA batteries (not included) and includes a low battery indicator when power is running low.

I scheduled to run every 3rd day (2x per day) and have had no problems at all at the time of this writing in July '08. Battery life is good and I replace the batteries… More reviews

Agree with weekend woodworker: This is the second Gilmor model I have used, both relatively short lived. This particular unit is in it's second year. And having a problem similar to WW's - the timing unit seems to be working ok, but apparently does not have sufficient power to turn the ball valve, which seems to require an inordinate amount of pressure to turn by hand. It is also not possible… More reviews
