About this deal

Would be nice if it had an optional second water port built in – for the more serious gardeners with multiple dripper loops set up as well as sprinklers. I really like that this timer is compatible with different brands and can be connected straight to your water butt. I am definitely in support of saving water wherever possible and using recycled rain water from a butt without having to stand there filling a watering can is music to my ears! Pros

There are a number of options available. For help choosing, speak to a garden 4less expert who will be able to assist you. Many outside taps are positioned at an awkward height to be being for a period of time to set the time functions. – Being able to lift the panel off and walk around the garden with it or perhaps sit on a bench is such a simple but useful feature. If you’re already invested in an Apple smart home through the Apple HomeKit or have an Apple TV, then the Eve Aqua Smart Water Controller fits right in. The watering schedule options, plus the additional ability in the app (plus an extra product) to water different garden zones on their own schedules let you build a complex and demanding irrigation system. Once programmed, the Eve smart timer works in the farthest reaches of your garden if you have a tap there because it doesn’t need to be close to a wifi source. Suitable for use with garden sprinklers, low-pressure micro-irrigation systems and water butts irrigation.I hope this Top 8 Irrigation Timers post was useful to you. When I first decided to get one, I thought they would all be really complicated and annoying to set up. The flow control valve (shown bottom right) isn't strictly a dripper but as it's adjustable it is ideal for use with low pressure as the valve can be opened right up so that there is little resistance. Six watering modes give you flexibility in setting up your schedule, including scheduling by specified calendar days, days within specified months and days by intervals.

The number of times I have seen our next door neighbours grass sprinkler going for what seems like ages – thinking has he forgot to turn the tap off?) Its also worth noting that if your internet goes down or the gateway stops working or even if there is a powercut. The water timer will still water as programmed so its not reliant on the router or internet to water. Pros This Orbit water timer looks pretty basic on the surface, but it actually does a fantastic job and suits all type of irrigation needs, from basic beginner to semi pro gardeners. What can it offer? The Eve Aqua Smart Water Controller is the Runner-up in our review of the best wifi water timers. We like that it’s part of a smart home series of products for Apple iOS enthusiasts and that it’s not dependent on being near an internet connection for use once it’s programmed. The app (mobile and web) lets you view 90 days’ worth of flow rate, water usage and water cost so you can modify your watering schedule to suit your budget.Your leak looks like a poor connection as said. My experience with complicated connection on hoses is that they all hate working, and I am useless with them. You can take the settings screen off the main unit and adjust settings without having to bend down.

They are quite similar in price too, the main difference is the design, and the slightly better digital screen What does it do? The manual “Water Now” button on the timer box lets you water the garden for the chosen amount of time right there and then. The Darlac Electronic Water Timer allows you to water your garden without moving a finger thanks to its time delay feature, simply select how long and often you want to water and our timer will do the rest. The easy to use and simple to install garden water timer has a two dial function that offers multiple watering options, watering frequency and run time, and can be set to run up to 24 times per day and for 2 hours at a time. The timer will also operate from a water butt gravity fed system (requires a 3/4″ threaded water butt tap). An integrated temperature sensor notifies you if frost is likely so you can protect your vulnerable plants overnight.

The functionality of this timer is pretty basic, for considering the low cost, you can’t really ask for much more. The Kingfisher timer can do all of the things that the more expensive timers can do, like set the time to water, the frequency and the length of time to water for. The Rain Skip Watering mode lets you skip your scheduled watering sessions if it has rained or is forecast to rain in a specified future period. There is also a instant water button on the water timer so you can water without the app too. Its worth noting you can also disable this feature in the APP. This could also be useful if you have children who like to mess with the tap and timer. The settings are the usual – select number of days or with the Gardena – you can select specific days of the week.

I have a shallow ground level birdbath (18" plant pot saucer) in the run to give me a crude guess when the soil might be a bit drier when that is dry, and that lets me see how much water has come out of the 2 nozzles feeding it at a their current setting if I need an indication. Though I tend to just look how far the butt has gone down. I appreciate and I’m sure you will too, the days of the week that are permanently on the screen – the current day is underlined. Very easy to set up, barely need to even look at the instructions as it is pretty self explanatory.

Instruction Booklet

The best smart water timers take all the worry about whether your garden is being watered on schedule as they tell you what’s going on as it’s happening. You can change the watering timetable via the app on your smartphone or other mobile devices wherever you are as long as you have a phone or Internet connection. Scheduling options include multiple watering cycles per day for closely controlled watering periods. One final thing that makes the Gardena irrigation timer stand out for me above the rest (for the more serious gardeners). The good thing is that you can isolate one of the water feeds, or programme them both to a separate time pattern. Pros
