Rain and UV Resistant

The materials made to use all Gardena water timer and computers are protected against Rain and UV rays. Set it and forget it.

Safe Water Stop

The Water Control always works reliably due to the ‘Safe Stop’ technology. If the energy levels of the battery are too low to completely control an irrigation process, then this process is not commenced. The battery level indication in the display also tells you when the battery has to be replaced.

Easy Set Up

With a Gardena Water Computer, your garden will be reliably and conveniently irrigated – even when you are not home. You win more free time and have a lush, green garden and beautiful, healthy plants. With the automatic irrigation in the early morning hours or evening, less water evaporates. This saves money and allows targeted, optimal irrigation.

Auto Stop

Auto Stop function to prevent wastage of water.

A smart option !

Flexible

Water Saving

When a GARDENA Rain or Soil Moisture Sensor is connected, automatic irrigation is interrupted depending on the soil moisture and natural rainfall. This enables water-saving irrigation.

Easy Operation

Programming is quick and easy with a rotary knob or button layout. The selected data is shown on a clear LCD.

Customers find the timer easy to use. They mention it's convenient and easy to set. Some say the operation itself is easy enough. Overall, customers find the product to be a simple alternative to getting a fancy watering.

19 customers mention19 positive0 negative

Customers like the water filtering of the timer. They mention that it works well, helps to save water, and gently shuts the water flow off when the watering time is up. The water flow is not restricted, and it slowly decreases until it stops completely. It's easy to view, and even shuts down gradually at the end of the cycle. Customers also like the fact that it filters the water, so they're not getting rust or the danger of over-watering. That said, the waterflow did not seem any different compared to without having the time r attached to the sprinkler.

"...Over the years this product has saved us a lot of wasted water in filling the horse tub and in watering a young tree near the barn...." Read more

"...Turn on water, timer assuredly clicks down to zero, gently shuts off water. Great! I am happy!First failure...." Read more

"...But in this mode, the rate of flow is adjustable (from closed to wide open, just like a normal faucet -- or more like a ball valve) so it's..." Read more

"...They don't like to be left outdoors, drain well and put them in a tempered dry location for the winter...." Read more

18 customers mention13 positive5 negative

Customers like the shutoff of the timer. They mention that it does not shut off instantaneously, but gradually towards the last 5 minutes. They also appreciate the positive shutoff, saying that it automatically shuts off after a designated time. Some like the slow turn off feature, while others say that the pass-thru water pressure was not great.

"...While the timer function was great, the pass-thru water pressure was not. Off to Amazon I went...." Read more

"...The timer's spring mechanism is fairly accurate and has a positive shutoff...." Read more

"...started to malfunction, as shortly after it stopped flowing water at a volume it used to, no matter the setting...." Read more

"...The timer does not shut off instantaneously, but gradually towards the last 5 mins...." Read more

61 customers mention37 positive24 negative

Customers are mixed about the accuracy of the timer. Some mention it's accurate in timing, and simple. However, others say that it'll not move or tick, it gets stuck, and the timing mechanism literally blows up.

"...I can run both my Rain Birds and the lawn is thoroughly and evenly watered...." Read more

"...Is it still counting down? Yes, weakly and slowly. I’m sure you understand that I don’t trust it.A final test. I run it dry...." Read more

"...It is very accurate, easy to use, and when it shuts off, you can barely hear it...." Read more

"...and just plain half the work - it keeps up with the time and you don't have to...." Read more

33 customers mention20 positive13 negative

Customers are mixed about the value of the timer. Some mention that it's well worth the money, works well, and has saved them a lot of money. However, others say that it was a little expensive compared to other timers.

"...To backtrack: this timer gets lots of free-press, great reviews and expensive. What is not to love?..." Read more

"...It is definitely worth the difference in money to get some that you just don't have to worry with...." Read more

"...It's expensive, as was the Gardena oscillating sprinkler I purchased previously, but if it holds up for a few years it will be worth the price." Read more

"...However, it works well and for the price is good value. The fact that I ordered a third one says a lot about my positive experience with the device...." Read more
