Great concept for deep watering - 98% of the time I bought this because I wanted to deep water my trees without forgetting. I wanted to make the accidental 8 or 20 hour watering a thing of the past. This timer works well to stop it. It is really easy to use and works great most of the time. However, a few times, maybe 1 out of 50, it does not stop on time. I think that it is when the dial is touching the ground. So make sure the dial is up and it is a great way to save water.
Gardena water timer We have these water timers on all our hose bibbs; they have cut down on our water usage, yet made watering more efficient. (Can't space-out and forget to turn off the water...) Everyone should use them.^M
This one is a winner Over the past 2 and 1/2 years I've purchased and installed a total of 8 units. So far, none of them has failed. They are as simple to use as an old fashion egg timer and require no batteries. As I'm futher expanding the irrigation system in my properties, I'm presently ordering four more units. Incidentally, to avoid some discoloration of the body under direct sunlight and possibly to prevent the plastic to become brittle over time, I've built a small wooden protection around each unit. |
