Aqualin Electronic Water Timer Garden Irrigation Controller Digital Intelligence Watering System LCD Waterproof, No Water Pressure Required

Simple and easy to use

Once programming is mastered this is very good. Well constructed with good flexibility with the timer, and there lies the issue I had. I only wanted it to operate for 15 minutes, twice a day, but somehow after programming the two on & off times it set the next on time at 00:01, which I didn't notice, do had the sprinkler going been midnight and the next off time I'd set. Not good when you're on a water meter!My advice, set every on/off pair, with those you don't want to use as 00:00/00:00 and the last one 00:00/00:01.

No leaks, very easy to set (I mean really easy!), logical, clear display and as many as 8 on/off times which is a lot more than some other more expensive models from other makers.I had this set up in no time, and I love it. Waterproof, with an easy to fit cover that just screws over the top. Batteries easy to change. I decided to route my device into our garage, as you can see from my picture. This is for extra weather proofing, though I still won't be able to use it all year round, as it needs a minimum of 5 degrees C to operate, and our garage can drop below that. I still wanted to afford it full weather proofing, so went the extra mile to install it indoors.I've also attached (see my photo) a water meter, so the Aqualin timer comes on and passes through the meter as well. All in all, a great combo!If I had just one wish, it would be that it would operate lower than 5 degrees. But I can see that it is sensitive to cold, and I'm sure most devices of this type would be similar in this regard. I love it and am very happy with it. Also terrific value.**UPDATE** : I've now stuffed good insulating material into my enclosures, and packed it tight, as well as a "wrapper" of same over the top. Now I can use the water time all through the year, from within a dry garage, and keep my pond topped up automatically all year round. Perfect solution, and this gets round the "minimum 5 degrees" issue.

I bought these a while back, and now, in their third summer, they are still working well. Initially, I was concerned by some reviews about their durability, so I waited before writing my own review. Typically, the batteries last for one summer. These devices work great with water butts, eliminating the need for pressurized water. I use them with a self-watering drip feed system and am pleased to report that I’ve been very happy with their performance.

Bought this to run the greenhouse irrigation system while we were on holiday. Worked absolutely great for exactly 30 days and then failed to turn on the water, fortunately we were home was was able to water the greenhouse manually. Cannot trust it anymore. Do not recommend.

Struggled with water leaks initially, had to buy a 3/4 soft rubber washer as the timer tap interface coul not handle the house water pressure when the timer valve is closed. The supplied o ring for timer nut needs to be a bit thicker is you need MAX hand pressure to tighten enough to make a suitable seal.That being said programming and set up is easy and it works a treat. See if it lasts till next year will be using over the summer on my refurbed lawn

I used this to provide measured and timed watering to my greenhouse from water butts. It works a treat. Easy to setup too.

Happy overall
