Easy-to-Set Water Timers

Quality and versatility set these timers apart.

The analog model takes seconds to program. One dial sets watering frequency, with nine options ranging from every 3 hours to every 14 days. A second dial controls watering duration, with a range of ten settings from 2 minutes to 9 hours. A delay-start button postpones activation for 1 to 23 hours, so you don't have to wait for the right hour to set the unit.

The digital model's flexible programming makes it ideal for use in areas with daily water restrictions. With LCD display and easy push-button programming, it can be set to water on any or all days of the week, up to four times per day, for a duration ranging from 1 minute to 12 hours (in 1-minute increments). Manual override buttons let you water between cycles, or pause them, without altering the settings. It has a low-battery indicator, and it stores settings for 30 seconds while you change the battery.

Each model has a weather- and UV-resistant ABS housing and requires a 9-volt battery (not included). They deliver 5.2 gallons per minute at 30 psi, and may be used with water pressure from 10 to 80 psi. The timers should not be exposed to freezing temperatures, and we recommend changing the battery once a year.
