Product Information

Water timers are an absolute game changer, especially if your going on holiday or away at the weekends with work, or simply not around when you would prefer to water, such as early morning. They are also very useful if you lay new turf or reseeded your lawn, as I recently did in spring. I connected my water timer to my lawn sprinkler, so I could ensure it got watered twice a day for a certain period of time until it was germinated and established. I always used to recommend this to my clients, and they often asked which water timer I would get, so this guide answers that. Functionally, it delivers the most consistent performance with its app, and how it syncs to the faucet or hose for smart watering. The biggest negative remark of the product is the timer leaking water as it does not always remain tight on the faucet. When installing it be sure to snuggly fit it to your house bib. As with most of these devices, a few other customers faced the problem of getting disconnected from wifi or Bluetooth. Often that is a result of the home network not being powerful enough outside.

You can change the watering timetable via the app on your smartphone or other mobile devices wherever you are as long as you have a phone or Internet connection.

The compact design of the timer and the sturdy valve gives you complete control over the water flow. It takes around 10-20 minutes to install and connect it to the app. The main advantage of the device is that you can connect it using both wifi and Bluetooth. Thus, if your wifi is not working, you have Bluetooth access as a helpful alternative. The system does have some limits as the timers need to have unobstructed access to each other so that they can exchange Bluetooth signals.
