What It Is

This is a solar-powered, dual-outlet programmable timer that connects to a standard garden hose, not a lawn mower part. It automates watering for sprinklers, drip systems, or soaker hoses in residential gardens or small lawns.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Hose connection: Fits standard 3/4-inch garden hose threads (GHT) on both inlet and outlets. No special adapters needed for most US hoses.
• Power: Built-in solar panel with backup battery compartment (typically requires 2 AA batteries, not included). Works without direct sunlight if batteries are installed.
• Brand/model: Universal—works with any brand of hose, sprinkler, or irrigation system that uses standard GHT fittings.
• What to check: Verify your outdoor faucet has 3/4-inch threads (most do). If using a drip system, confirm your tubing adapter fits the 3/4-inch outlet. Measure available sunlight at the timer’s location—full shade may reduce performance.

Key Things to Know

• Installation: Tool-free—screw onto faucet, attach hoses to outlets, set program via buttons and LCD. Expect 10–15 minutes setup.
• Quality: Brass inlet is durable and corrosion-resistant. Solar panel is small; battery backup is essential for consistent operation in low light or winter.
• Common gotchas: The timer may skip cycles if batteries are dead and solar charge is low. Rain delay feature works manually, not via sensor—you must press the button. Two outlets are independently programmable but share the same schedule type (e.g., both run same duration).
• Winter care: Disconnect and store indoors to prevent freeze damage to brass threads.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you need a simple, cordless timer for two separate watering zones (e.g., lawn sprinkler and flower bed dripper) and have decent outdoor sunlight. Skip it if you require a rain sensor, Wi-Fi control, or heavy-duty metal construction—those features cost more. Good value for basic automated watering.
