What Customers Are Saying

The product has mixed reviews. Many users find it easy to program and appreciate its ability to control up to 4 watering zones with customizable schedules. However, a significant number have experienced issues such as stuck valves, leaks, and the timer failing prematurely. The quality and durability of the product seem to be a common concern, with some users needing to replace it multiple times. Overall, the timer works well for some, but the high failure rate makes it difficult to recommend unreservedly.

Nice Idea, Bad Construct

Would Not Recommend

The product worked well at first. Not very confusing, and really nice if you want to do different zones, at different times, and different days - can be very specific. But then about a week in some of the screen stopped working, so I'd have to guess at what the selection was on. I eventually couldn't see any of the zone numbers, so I was guessing constantly. Then finally (thankfully a week before my return window closed) it stopped working altogether. Water on, timer scheduled - nada. Manual...

sometimes doesn't turn on channel

channels sometimes may or may not work. 2 of them I've returned BC I've had to reset several days in a row. Old ones with a dial controller was much easier and channels always turned on.

Decent Timer, but it does leak.

Would Recommend

Program is reliable and easy to figure out. However, this is my second of these timers, and it leaks but at the spigot connection unless faucet is turned completely off. That is okay when I am home, but when I need to leave the faucet on whether going to work or on vacation for a few days I have to keep in mind this thing will drip the entire time. I went to Lowe's to replace, and they are not great with that. Also, the hose connections need to be metal, not plastic. As others mentioned, the pla...

Good to Go

Would Recommend

Easy to program and use. Well made. Easy to hook up. Easy to enter into manual mode. Performs flawlessly. Soaks up the Texas sun and has yet to falter. The hoses hook up easily. There is enough room to access each one while hand tightening. No leaking or dripping. I like it.

Great timer for good water

The timer was easy to program but I was using on a shallow well and the strainer clogged quickly.

Distributor works as advertised. Day after day at the programmed times the manifold distributes water as it is supposed to do. Distributor has been exposed to rain or shine. I have used only during the summer and I will disconnect it in the fall, I do not intend to test it when the water can freeze.
