Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Product Description:
Incredibly easy to use, this electric lawn and garden timer from Gilmour keeps your yard looking its best, even during hot summer months. The two-dial system with electronic keypad is a snap to set: Simply press Enter and listen for the audio beep to confirm program entry; the system will then repeat the watering cycle at the interval set. You can set the program to repeat every 24 hours or you can set it to skip a day. You can also choose a repeat interval from once every six hours up to once every seventh day, and you can set the watering duration from two minutes up to 120 minutes. There are also manual on/off settings that let you water exactly how often you wish, and a swivel nut for easy connection to the faucet. The timer requires two AA alkaline batteries (not included).

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - only one major flaw
The Gilmour Water timer is simple to use. It has a major flaw in my mind, it must be started at the time you want to water each day. They did not include a way to set the time to start watering. if you want to water at 5:00 AM you must be up to start the timer. After that it will start watering at that time each day.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Gilmour Timer for Drip System
I have found this product to be easy to use. Consistently dependable. I have purchased three of these timers. After one year one stopped working so I bought the fourth. So far it is working well, as are the other two that I am using now. The store where I purchased the timers no longer sells them. That is when I went online and foumd them through Amazon.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Sub-standard product
I purchased this product and rush shipped it so that I could install it before I went out of town. I spent about an hour trying different things to make it work and I was totally disappointed. I wasted my time. I understand that things could go wrong with products. I got a taste of what the company thinks about their product when I called the Gilmour customer service the next day. The customer rep suggested that I buy another model of their product which is more reliable. Reading between the lines ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Bad valve
Worked well first year. Next year the valve would not shut off water and allowed for unwanted slow and steady stream. Also, it tends to freeze up if you play with the buttons too much. The remedy is to take out the batteries for a few minutes.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very good product
The Gilmour Electric Water Timer is a quick and easy way to get your watering on a regular schedule. I had invested a significant amount of money and effort in soaker hoses and needed a way to regularly water my vegetable garden without forgetting to turn the water off each time! I have this water timer setup to water every 12 hours (morning and evening) for 20 minutes. It works great.
