Pros & Cons
Pros
Timer has a solid build and is very straightforward and easy to use. Time saver as well as a plant saver if you’re away from home. The functionality is basic; however the unit is reliable and sturdy.
Product is great when it is working correctly. Spacing them in time a bit resolved the issue. Settings and attachments for timed settings still work fine.
Once soaker hoses or sprinklers are set up, it is so much easier than dragging hoses around the yard. Manual override button allows you to turn on one of the programmed zones without interrupting programming. Manual faucet is very easy to use.
Timer is big and i have covered it with a cloth to avoid any attention from curious passerby. Since it runs on batteries, you need to remember to remove them at the end of the season to avoid damage due to battery leaks.
