RAINPOINT Sprinkler Timer, Programmable Water Timer for Garden Hose, Outdoor Soaker Hose Timed with Rain Delay/Manual/Automatic Watering System, Digital Irrigation for Yard, Lawn, 1 Outlet

I'd been using a basic Orbitz timer on my faucet to replenish my fountain basin every 6 hours.Unfortunately, 4x a day hasn't always been frequent enough - - - especially during the hotter summer days and when there are strong winds that blow the fountain stream in directions outside the well catch basin.I don't need a tech-y, complicated timer system. I just need a timer that allows programming more than 4x a day.I bought this and gave it a try.It works perfectly!Super easy to program (even without reading the manual), and so far it's working perfectly.It comes with absolutely everything you need even including a small roll of teflon tape too.I bought the timer with brass fittings and I did have a bit of trouble physically connecting it to my spigot. The threads on the female end of this did not seem to align with the threads on my spigot. It kept wanting to screw on at an angle so it was askew to the spigot. Of course this meant that it leaked.I must have tried, backed it off, tried again . . 4 or 5 times before I was able to get it on straight and tight. Once I got it on, it's leak free and working great. My pump is no longer in danger of burning out because the water level has dropped too low, the birds are happy because their fountain flows constantly, and I can go about my day without needing to keep an eye on the fountain's water level.Pros:- super easy and self explanatory programming- flexibility in programming in hourly increments- clear and easy to read display screen (even in sunlight)- all parts included (teflon tape too)- leak free connectionsCons:- initial difficulty making the physical connection to my spigot- I know this is just a basic timer, but whatever settings for frequency & duration you choose, are the settings for the entire day. In other words, you can't set it to turn on for 2 minutes every hour during the day, then only for one minute every 4 hours at nightTo me, the cons are piddly and miniscule compared to how awesome this timer is.If it's really important to schedule for more specific or irregular settings, there are other more complex and expensive timers out there that allow for multiple programs to be set.

I recently purchased the RAINPOINT Sprinkler Timer, and it has truly transformed my garden maintenance routine. This programmable water timer provides exceptional flexibility with its rain delay, manual, and automatic watering options, making it ideal for both my yard and lawn.The digital interface is user-friendly, allowing me to set precise schedules without any hassle. The rain delay feature is particularly impressive as it helps conserve water during rainy days, which is both eco-friendly and cost-effective. Additionally, the manual mode is convenient when I need to water specific areas without altering my preset schedules.Installation was straightforward, connecting seamlessly to my outdoor soaker hose. The single outlet design is perfect for my needs, and the durable build assures me it will withstand various weather conditions. My garden has never looked healthier, thanks to the consistent and efficient irrigation provided by this timer.Overall, the RAINPOINT Sprinkler Timer is a reliable, efficient, and smart investment for anyone looking to maintain a lush garden with minimal effort. Highly recommended!

This RAINPOINT sprinkler timer has been a great addition to my garden setup. For the price, it performs exactly as I’d hoped—simple to program, reliable so far, and it actually fits and seals properly on the spigot, which is more than I can say for a lot of cheaper hose accessories.I was pleasantly surprised by how well the washers and seals worked. I usually expect some degree of leaking or poor fit with budget-friendly timers, but this one connected cleanly and hasn’t dripped once.Setup took just a few minutes, and I love having the option for manual watering alongside the scheduled cycles. The rain delay feature is also a nice touch for saving water after a storm.Battery life remains to be seen, but so far, no complaints. If you’re looking for a no-fuss, affordable timer to automate your watering routine, this one is definitely worth it.

I picked up two singles and a double RAINPOINT timer to automate my yard, and honestly, it’s been a game-changer.Setup was easy across the board—each unit programmed quickly, and now I’ve got the front, back, and side zones on their own schedules. No more dragging hoses or forgetting to water until the grass starts begging for mercy.Everything’s working great: solid build, intuitive controls, weather-resistant, and the AA batteries are still going strong.Only surprise? A sharp water hammer thunk when the valve shuts off. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it definitely made me jump the first time. Just something to be aware of—your pipes might throw a little attitude.Still, for the price and convenience, these timers are a win. Set it and forget it… until your lawn starts showing off.
