Would recommend testing before leaving because our initial thoughts on watering would have been too heavy. Originally had it set to run two hours twice a date. Testing we found we only needed to run it 45 minutes, twice a day. It is easy to program and we hooked it on the end of a hose rather than at the faucet to make it easier to get at. The timer and drip hose combined cost less than paying the person who watered the plants. Wife was skeptical at first but now is a believer and happy that her plants are healthy. Can’t speak to durability yet but so far we are pleased.
1. You want one with a cover like this one.
2. Connections are always plastic on these. I recommend getting quick release connectors on both sides, so you can easily unhook for winter months and not risk breaking the plastic. I also used pipe fitting tape on the connectors to keep a waterproof seal.
3. In my case I was running drip lines, so I needed a pressure regulator to reduce the PSI, I recommend installing this above the timer to reduce the pressure on the unit as well as the line. I also installed a back-flow valve underneath the unit as required by my local area but think it is a good idea, even if not required to keep back pressure off the unit.
In the end I no longer have to worry about getting out to water on a routine basis. I am utilizing better water usage practices and my plants are happier. It is worth the time and cost to install items like these. If I end up having issues in the future, I will update my review so people know.
The device itself is perfect for my application (daily one event watering with a "demand" over-ride)
PRO:
- so simple to program
- extremely accurate ( all digital)
- built-in instruction simply by the way it's designed (best I've ever seen and I don't see how to make it any better)
- over-ride programming for both rain and for "demand use"
- program allows for additional watering and you can set the interval and walk away
- simple single button press to turn on the water say for a hose *
* in my case, I use a water manifold, (see enclosed picture) so when I need the hose, I just press the button on the lower right. (press it again to turn it off or the timer will also run the programmed interval and shut off)
If I have any concerns about this device at all, it's that, "it's plastic at critical points." It hasn't been an issue but I would say you definitely wouldn't want to carelessly pull on the hose. I'm not about to "test stress" the two connection points (where the hose attaches and even more so, where the device attaches to the faucet - You can see in the picture how this could really risk some serious stress) I will be adding some stress protection. I really like this thing. I obviously don't want anything to happen to it.

this can then be cranked onto and then sealed well against the rubber seal inside uk connector.
