⚠️ Important: Choose the Right Thread for Your Region
- 🌱 NH Thread — Suitable for USA, Canada & Mexico (North America) only.
- 🌱 BSPT Thread — Suitable for all other countries outside North America.
- 🌱 Please select the correct thread option at checkout — an incompatible thread type will prevent a proper connection between the timer, faucet, and hose.
⚠️ Water Pressure Note
All hose timers require a minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar / 7.25 psi to open the internal solenoid valve. Standard municipal tap water easily meets this requirement. If using a water tank, ensure it is elevated at least 3 floors high to generate sufficient pressure.
Key Features
🌱 Easy to Program
Use the simple rotating dial and push buttons to configure your schedule: set the clock, watering frequency (every 1 minute up to 23 hours 59 minutes, or 1–7 days), watering duration (1 minute to 23 hours 59 minutes), and start time. Programming takes just minutes — no tools or apps required.
🌱 3 Flexible Watering Modes
- Auto Mode: Runs automatically on your pre-programmed schedule.
- Manual Mode: Override the schedule temporarily (1 min – 23 hrs 59 min) to use the faucet for other tasks without losing your saved settings.
- Rain Delay Mode: Pause your watering schedule for 1–7 days during wet weather, then automatically resume when the delay period ends.
🌱 Large LCD Display & Child Lock
The generously sized backlit LCD screen makes reading settings and status effortless, even in bright sunlight. The built-in Child Lock prevents accidental changes to your schedule by curious kids or pets. Powered by 2 × AA 1.5V alkaline batteries (not included) for over 6 months of runtime per set.
🌱 Long-Lasting & Durable Construction
Upgraded to IPX7 waterproof protection with a sealed battery compartment to guard against moisture. The connector is reinforced with 35% fiber content, capable of handling water pressure from 7.25 psi up to 116 psi. Each timer ships with a reducing hex bushing (3/4" Male NPT to 1/2" Female NPT), a 3/4" GHT male thread adapter, and thread seal tape for a leak-free fit with virtually any standard faucet or garden hose.
🌱 Versatile Multi-Scene Use
Ideal for a wide range of outdoor watering applications including: garden drip irrigation, lawn sprinkler systems, greenhouse misting, raised bed watering, potted plant irrigation, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between NH thread and BSPT thread on this garden water timer?
A: NH (National Hose) thread is the standard for garden hoses and faucets in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) thread is used in most other countries worldwide. Selecting the wrong thread will prevent a proper, leak-free connection between the timer and your faucet or hose — always choose based on your country's standard before ordering.
Q: Does this automatic sprinkler timer work with low-pressure water sources like a rain barrel or elevated tank?
A: The timer requires a minimum of 0.5 bar (7.25 psi) to open its internal solenoid valve. A rain barrel or gravity-fed tank will work as long as it is elevated at least 3 stories (approximately 9 meters / 30 feet) to generate sufficient pressure. Standard municipal tap water easily exceeds this minimum.
Q: How long do the batteries last in this garden hose timer, and what type are required?
A: This irrigation timer runs on 2 × AA 1.5V alkaline batteries (not included). Under typical use, a fresh set of quality alkaline batteries will power the timer for over 6 months. For best results, use a reputable alkaline battery brand and replace them at the start of each growing season.
Q: Can I use this water timer for greenhouse misting or drip irrigation systems?
A: Absolutely. This versatile garden programmer is well-suited for drip irrigation, greenhouse misting, lawn sprinklers, raised beds, potted plants, and more. Its wide pressure range (7.25–116 psi) and IPX7 waterproof rating make it reliable across a variety of outdoor watering setups.
