Detachable program unit makes it a must have... I have struggled to read other LCD water computer displays in the bright and blazing hot sun and program them while mosquitos attacking me - not a pleasant experience. The fact that this programming unit detaches from the valve unit makes this a must have. Just bring it indoors and program it in the comfort of your living room, then go out and plug it into the valve unit. That's it. Not only are you spared the outdoor elements, you are further assured the electronics are segregated from the water (Water getting into the electronics is the downfall of most devices of this type.). ^M
Dependable but... This is my first water computer purchase. I sided with this brand and model because of previous reviews of this and varous other brands. The housing for the computer itself appears be to water-tight. A huge bonus for this Gardena is the ability to remove the computer from the unit and program it where you want and when you want. It operates on one 9-volt batttery, in which the German manufacturers claim it should last one year. I'm dubious of this. If it were equipped with a pair of double A's... sure, it probably would.^M
Beautiful New Lawn I purchased this product in the early Spring to help water a newly seeded lawn which I wanted to water 4 times daily on hot days. |
