This purchase was my second. The first worked fine for probably 5 years to water my garden several days per week. Worked far better than me remembering to turn the water back off.But then --The design is meant to fail safe. If the battery dies or whatever, the timer fails to turn on. Awesome idea.Mine however failed ON! The rubber diaphragm had a groove worn in it from the plastic seat which had a couple burrs on it, and it stuck open with the water running. I got so lucky though because I parked my car on the hose - so unlikely - and my neighbor noticed it slightly on at the wrong time of day and let me know. Given the years of good service, and hopefully unlikely to repeat, I bought the second unit.

The people that designed this really thought about how to make this simple. It does exactly what I need. Set the time and date. Set what time(s) you want it to turn on. Set what days you want it to turn on. Set how long it should run for. Turn it on auto and you are done. The only other button is a manual override on/off which helps me test the system and see what parts need replacing without affecting the schedule. It takes AAs that last at least a season so cheap to operate. I now run 4 of these to cover different areas. Only issue is 2 in a riw showed up with cracked LCD screens probably due to some errant package tossing en route. Just look them over when they arrive. Once they are mine they are solid.

Does not work to program any longer, button and wheel selections simply no longer work. Very poor quality for a 50 dollar timer, worked for just over a year and a half. Will go back to Orbit timers have several of those and all work at 5+ years old.

This is not your typical garden hose you will find at a big box store. Indeed, the level of quality in this hose with 100% EDPM rubber is unbeatable, and hard to find except on Amazon. The high flow is due to the larger inside diameter of the hose than the common hose. This increases the volume of water. You will find the pressure with a good nozzle is extremely strong -- almost strong enough to "pressure wash" sidewalks, pool decks and more with the right nozzle. The rubber quality is exceptional, making the hose easier to handle and avoid kinks. The only drawback is the weight of the hose should you require moving the entire hose on a regular basis. Consider buying the length you will actually need to control its weight, or buy two shorter lengths instead of a heavier longer hose. This will also avoid kinks. This is a "lifetime" hose.

Due to recent lawn repair for cable work, we got a section of new sod. Happens to be dry season in SoFlo which is ultra hot and dry this year. Irrigation pump died and it’s not really worth replacing. Sod immediately started to die so I setup a hose end sprinkler which has been a pain to remember to turn on/off each evening. After looking up options for timers, I decided a simple mechanical wasn't really much of an improvement and we certainly don’t need a high end wifi type, seemed like a basic digital type is best bang for buck for simple needs and this unit might be worth spending the extra since it’s the only one I found with brass inlet and outlet which will hold up to the extreme uv exposure here better than plastic. Figure we will need it at new house later this year to water the new lawn so hoping the rest of it holds up as well as the brass fittings. Anyway, unit feels well made, took all of maybe 5 min to setup. Instructions are not really needed but available online. Just attached it 10 min ago, used manual button to set water flow and it seems fine. Manual on/off worked without any problem, has a bit of a delay but it’s only seconds. Will see how it does on auto in a couple hours. Update: it came on and shutoff just as I programmed. Certainly appears to be a well made timer. No leaks at either end, just double check the washers and maybe add a second washer if a fitting doesn’t tighten up before the point of bottoming out.
