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.

Would Not Recommendvery disappointed. lots of different ways to schedule up to 4 zones per day, but good luck getting it to consistently turn on. I schedule it to turn on every day, and it works 20% of the time. takes a long time to program, and then it doesnt work. put your money elsewhere, this product is useless.
Easy and fast set up

Easy to set up and program.
Would RecommendFour separate ports (zones) that are individually programmable with multiple start times. I got it set up and running in a few minutes. It uses two AA batteries that still show full after two weeks of continuous use. I highly recommend.

Does not last
Would Not RecommendI purchased one of these four years ago, and in the middle of the second year using it, it just stopped working properly. A valve would not shut offer properly, and another would come on, and then I would have two sprinklers going at the same time, but with half the water volume. After trying to repair it by disassembling and cleaning the valves, it started working again. But only for a short time before it fouled again. So I threw it away and purchased another one just like it. It worked well ...

Good timer with a fatal flaw
This should be a good water timer, but it has one fatal flaw which I'll get to in a moment. It has a different interface than the typical "dial" timers, so there is a learning curve to programming it. The programming is very versatile, once you figure it out. Flow is good. Now for the fatal flaw. If it gets hot, it goes crazy and essentially stops working. It will lose its time and it will randomly move the function off of "Auto" to something else. This has the effect of disabling the timer. Eve...

Great features and easy to use
Would RecommendI prefer the days of the week programming as opposed to every so many days because then I know what days it's coming on. This also has up to 4 cycles per day for each of the 4 zones, which is a feature I have used. You're going to want to buy quick connectors for this device because the plastic threads are easy to cross and mess up. Also, a quick connect is so much more convenient.

Don't waste your money on this leaky timer

Easy to use once it is programmed.
Would RecommendI really like this timer. Once you get it set and the water flow set it takes care of itself. This is my second one and I hope it lasts me a few years

Not good
Would Not RecommendIts overly complicated and has no manual valve controls. I like to have one zone empty for a garden hose if I want to use it. This has an empty zone but to turn it on you have to go into the menu settings select the zone enter a time for how long it will run the go to a different menu so you can select the manual option then start. Compared to my orbit system where i just turn the lever and the hose is running then turn it back and its not. I returned this one and went to big r to get another or...
