Automate your drip system and enjoy worry-free watering with the Hose-End Automatic Water Timer. Programming your watering schedule is easy with the simple, straightward interface. Use the "How Long" dial to set frequency and the "How Often" dial to select run time. The Manual Water/Rain Delay dial allows for manual watering (for 3 to 90 minutes) or to postpone watering (from 24 to 72 hours). An indicator light blinks to confirm changes are made, so there's no need to second guess. The battery-operated timer signals when batteries are running low, and has a unique water-saving feature that turns the valve to the “off” position and stops the flow of water when batteries run out so water is not wasted. Drip irrigation systems are easy to customize, install, and operate. As part of a complete drip system, the Automatic Timer works with other Raindrip components for trouble-free watering solutions to help your plants grow and thrive. Raindrip is a leading manufacturer of drip and micro-irrigation solutions and the trusted brand of landscapers since 1972. Build, expand, or repair your system with our rigorously tested products designed to save you time and money.

I have had too many fancy digital timers go out on me after 1-2 years. Once I found this analog timer, I stuck with it. I now have 3 operating in different areas of the yard and they are easy to set and are dependable.

I have two of these, entering the third year of use and still on original batteries. Analog dials are more reliable than digital and super easy to program. It is also a breeze to install. This year my entire watering work was turning them on at the beginning of the dry season and turning them off with the first rain. They do what they are supposed to do. My garden is happy.

I started with a mechanical (no battery) years ago and it didn't last a single season before something broke inside. So I bought one of the Raindrips at a big box store that came with a micro-watering system. It worked great. Then I bought another Raindrip timer from Amazon to hookup to a hose bib and water plants with a sprinkler while I was away on trips. It worked perfectly. So I bought another and then another!!!! I now have 4 of these! Battery's last all year and setting the timer is as easy as it gets. Note: I did buy another brand with a digital readout that has places for two hose connections (2 zones) and it's very complicated to program so I don't use it anymore. Another note of caution: Do not leave the timers outside when the winter freezes come. I made the mistake of leaving one outside last year and the water inside it froze and caused a leak in the device. It still works but has a slight drip. I'll probably replace it nest spring. Anyhow....I definitely recommend this timer!

This is fairly simple to use. The instructions are not very good. There's no protection from the elements, so you can be sure that after a few years the dials will fade. It won't work if the water pressure is too low.Having said that, it's simple to use. There's no clock, so if you want it to water once a day, you go out and turn it on at exactly the time you want it to start. What they don't tell you is that if you go out at 7pm, hook it up, set it to 24hrs *nothing* will happen. You have to wait 24hrs to see if the thing is working. You can still use the manual override to make sure it will turn on and water will flow. You are exchanging some options for simplicity of use, but if you want something to run your drip system once or twice a day, it's basically easy.*Supposedly* it turn off if the battery dies. I haven't tested this but I bet it will do exactly that--my old one didn't.There is a battery gauge built in but it isn't clear how it works. I'm guessing that it will start blinking at you if there is a problem.Basically, a simple device with new dreaded menus, but I doubt it will last more than a few years without a protective cover. Take a magic marker and put a red mark on the black dials because they are impossible to read.

Update 5/7/2020 . 5 years later after ordering my first 2, I ordered them again after they finally burned out ( even though they outlasted the garden hose, the splitter/combiner and other connectors). I really love the ease of setting frequency and duration and the manual option, and rain delay. They lasted exactly 4 seasons (4.5 years). I do live in Texas where there is an extremely wide range of heat ( 110 f or more) and cold (16 f ) which is almost a 95 degree span. The green faceplate fades in the texas summer baking heat so after year 3 it becomes difficult to read the meter. On year 4 the battery compartment and cartridge had rusted out due to a leak from the connector, or possibly just from the high humidity we have here. The prementioned issues are why I decided to replace.I have also used Orbit and Melnor in the past, but those seemed to only last 1-2 years in the same location as these. I use these for drip irrigation and am very happy. I would say this is a great bargain for the $24 dollar price tag.5/17/2015 Really liked it, so I ordered another. Simple to use and perfect for drip or mist watering.

Works like a champ and is super easy to "program." Since there is no included clock to set the time of day that watering takes place, it is dependent on when it is programmed. Want the water to go on at 6 AM, you need to be out there at 6 AM to twist the knobs...Programming is self-evident, just remember to go through reset when setting it up. If you set a manual time-out of 1-2-3 days, or set a manual watering time period, it will do what you set, and then revert back to automatic mode. For instance, it is raining out, you might set a rain time out for 24 hours and it will do nothing for 24 hours then resume regular watering (even though the manual switch is still showing 24 hours time-out). Two flashing red leds let you know when it has resumed timed watering or is still on manual.The inlet leaked when I had four garden hoses connected to the outlet - too much weight for it to support. I made a short hose to take the load off and put a conduit clamp on it for strain relief, moved the three "Y" connectors to the ground, and had no leak. One garden hose would probably be OK as long as you don't pull on the hose.I assume the plastic lettering on the front may fade if left in sunlight, so that may be another consideration in mounting locations. it must be face up or with moderate angle on it or water may infiltrate the electronics or battery - you can't just connect hoses and throw it in the dirt.
