To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. A manual watering function means you don’t need to wait for your chosen program to water your garden.

Hozelock Aqua Control Plus Water Timer is an electronic timer with dial and button programming allowing you to select the current time watering start time watering frequency and watering duration.JennyJ - I could go for a cheaper one as you suggest but I'm trying to steer away from ones that have a small LCD control panel. It is designed to regulate the water supply in a systematic manner for up to 2 separate areas, ensuring efficient watering with minimal waste. The replacement models are attempting to be more sophisticated but do not allow the same flexibility in the watering patterns. This watering kit can be set-up in minutes and for larger areas, components can be purchased to create a bespoke watering system. If the valve works in manual mode but not in automatic irrigation, make sure to correctly set the desired irrigation program.

Simply use the dial to set the different programs: from maximum 4 times a day just 2 minutes up to once for 120 minutes per week. Turn the knob counterclockwise to adjust the duration of a single operation per day or select a program for all watering frequencies.I did look at dual/multiple timers but they were more than I wanted to spend and as you say, the reviews weren't great. The Hozelock aqua control AC1 water timer allows you to automate your watering at sunrise or sunset. Automatic drip watering is a form of automatic watering, and is the most sustainable and efficient form of watering for gardens, with tests showing that it is over 90% more efficient than using a spray gun or sprinkler.

If the knob points to ON but there is no irrigation, this may indicate that the manual operation in ON mode has reached the maximum duration of 60 minutes. Water butt compatibility means this AC Plus water timer is fully compatible to be used with water butts. The Hozelock AC1 water timer comes with 13 pre-set programs that can supply water anywhere from one to four times a day. Ranging from 2 mins every 24 hrs to 120 mins every 7 days the pre set programs cover the most popular automatic watering settings.

If you are in an area where there is a hose pipe ban this can be combined with an automatic watering system.
