TAKE THESE CHECKS TO THE SHOP

Before you choose

Use this checklist with the current manual and listing. Borrowing, renting or keeping working equipment may fit the job better than buying.

  1. Connection and supply

    Check faucet thread, operating pressure, required batteries and weather limits in the exact manual.

  2. Schedule and restrictions

    Check whether the available interval and start settings can follow your watering rules. One outlet does not mean independently controlled zones.

  3. Manual test and rain

    Test shutoff and the manual mode while present; use rain delay where appropriate. A timer is not a soil-moisture sensor.

  4. Keep or replace

    Keep an existing timer if it meets the job. Fix leaks and uneven sprinkler coverage separately.
