Average Rating: Rating: - Amazing Flexibility I love this timer. I've had many others over the years. Some require you to press a button for each 15 minutes of watering time, and then another for each hour of delay. You press, and press, and press. This timer, on the other hand, is simple and astounding to program. There are a bunch of pre-set programs. Or create your own. You enter a start time and a stop time. Because you set the day/date, you can tell it to water on Tuesdays and Thursdays, etc. It has tons of other features, and seems reasonably well made. (I confess that I would love a hose timer like this with brass couplings...) Rating: - One of a Kind This is the only timer that has a "Mist" feature, which allows you to set it for one long cycle per day still have it go on and off many times during that cycle. For example the cycle can start at 9 AM and end at 6PM. Using the "Mist" feature the water can go on for 2, 5, 10 or 15 minutes and off for 10 minutes during the whole cycle. This is especially useful if you have birds or animals which need to be kept cool but not soaked during the day. Our organization rehabilitates injured and orphaned birds of prey and this piece of equipment is invaluable to us for running our misting systems to keep our birds cool. Rating: - Most versatile timer/mister I've seen I own two of these and love them. This has the most flexible scheduling I've ever seen. You can use the mist setting which allows the timer to run for 2,5,10, or 15 minutes then set off for 10 minutes then turn back on again. This is the best feature as it allows the water to soak into the ground instead of run off not to mention lower watering bills for the same green lawn. If you have weak water pressure, using this mist setting to have two of the timers alternating between on and off. One is on for 10 minutes while the other is off. For large sod installations, this timer is great. If you buy a 4-1 splitter of the main pipe, then attach these timers, then a 2 to 1 splitter, you can run 8 sprinklers on alternating time patters that allow each set of sprinklers to maintain high water pressure. No more moving sprinklers around! You can set 6 different on/off times during ONE day if you need to. Great for new sod or overseeding a yard. Keeps it wet all day. You can select which days of the week to run or odd/even. It saves 5 different schedules. There's even a schedule that only runs once. The other feature I love is the elmination of "water hammer." With other timers, you know when it stops because of that loud THUD! This timer has a more gradual open and shutting of the valve that elimnates that loud thud in your pipes.
