Orbit 62034 Mechanical Water Timer for Lawn and Garden Watering

I love how easy this timer is to use — no batteries or apps needed! Just turn the dial and walk away. Works flawlessly and has helped me conserve water while keeping my garden healthy. Great quality, affordable price. Simple and effective.

Just love these SIMPLE timers. They are like kitchen timers, just turn to the amount of minutes and so far they very reliably turn off. If you put the timer at the hose bib, the pressure in your hose will drain and release. I recommend that installation for single sprinkler heads. If you put it right before the sprinkler the hose will stay under constant pressure. The item seems durable enough as long as you don't go bashing into it with shovels, garbage cans, etc. If you don't want to use the timer function you don't have to uninstall it, there is a setting to simply turn it on and off. I wish I bought one more.

This keeps your water bill from going thru the roof. It is not as precise as the LED display ones, but there is no brainwork required. I use it to fill a drain 100 gallon tub for our fish. I let water sit and let the chlorine evaporate; then I slowly drain it to the pond on a drain line. The problem is when I forget to turn the faucet off..... . My friend uses it to water a few pine trees. He sets it for 30 minutes+- and he can leave it unattended. No batteries, just manual on and manual turn off crank timer.

I have a cistern for our water supply and it only gets about 1 quart per minute intake. I still try to water around the house once in a while, in my very rural, arid climate. Unlike other brands I've tried, some taking batteries, others using the water pressure itself to make the mechanism work, this one is just a basic timer. You can also turn it on without the timer function if for some reason you want the water to continuously run. I usually set mine to run for 15 minutes first thing in the morning, make coffee, and it has never failed to shut off as expected. This is critical for us because if the water is left to run and I forget, our entire house will literally run dry. This is a life saver for my use case, and I actually have a small patch of green lawn in the middle of the summer now.... a first where I live.I didn't want to have to worry about batteries or electronics. Keep this dead simple, as they did and it just works.

This is a great little manual timer for putting sprinklers in remote parts of our large yard. Simple, effective, and a sale price I couldn’t resist.

This products works well in making sure you do not overwater. I attached to all three hose bibs on the outside walls and set them for the length of time needs for each section of my yard. In the past, I would forget to turn off the soaker hoses and they would run for a day or two. This has saved me a lot of money and wasted water.

We have been using these Timmers for more than eight years now, and they work very well. The only thing I want to warn you about is that they will deteriorate in hot sunlight. They will only last a couple of seasons if not protected from direct sunlight. We live in the high desert area of Central Washington State where the land is scab rock, sage brush, wheat fields, and rattlesnakes, with hardly any shade. The summer temperatures commonly reach the high 90"s up to 117 degrees with little to no rain for months on end from mid-May through the first part of October. What I have found that saves these Timmers is a 2 gallon bucket that I hang on the faucet so that it covers the Timmers from the hot direct sunlight. I hope this advice will help you to make your Timmers last for many years.

I got tired of finding half-dead plants because the batteries ran out on my water timers. I found these egg-timer types and they work great! I sometimes have to run them twice a day in summer since I live in AZ, but that's okay. It's better than not watering them at all, and it's better than a $300 water bill because I forget to turn it off. While it's not completely hands-off, that's okay. It's very affordable as well, which is another bonus.Unfortunately, the latest one I bought doesn't work. It does not turn itself off. It worked for about two weeks before it stopped turning off. I can hear it ticking like it's supposed to, but the gears are apparently not connected or something, because it just runs until I have to turn it off manually. I'm pretty disappointed.
