GardenaWater Control Select, Automatic, Time-Saving Watering, Flexible Watering with 3 Schedules, Water Now Function (1891-28)

Slightly more than I wanted to pay, but proably the only timer that will water for two short periods during the night.It is so easy/simple to program that I didn't open the instructions and found it no problem at all.One comment about the display - if you hold it a particular angle to the light, all of the characters available on the screen can be seen, rather than just what you have selected.I want it for a low pressure misting/watering system, and the pressure reducer (Hozelock 7022) screws directly onto the bottom of the timer.Also, a couple of words of caution from bitter personal experience.Never attach any plastic gizmo bigger than a hose connector directly to a tap - one slight knock and it will crack. Fit a 3/4G adapter/male hose connector to the top and then use a short length of hose to connect to the tap with standard hose push connectors. I used about 4 feet of hose and the timer is hung from the wall a couple of feet from the tap and above it.Drain it for winter.Get a black plastic bag - a bit of a compost bag or one that has been used for a mail order delivery - cut an inch across one corner and fit the bag over the timer, the supply coming in via the cut corner. The timer should last many years not being exposed to the sun.

Quality Product that is easy to install. Operation is simple and intuitive with programming really straight forward. Controller can be removed from base for ease of adjusting.

Just like the master units, we got a bunch of these in the summer. They worked flawlessly until the first frost when over half of them burst. There's a small icon on the packet to indicate they should be protected from frost but it's an expensive mistake to make and it should be much more obvious that they have minimal resilience to the cold.

Very good, simple to use.Three timers, seven days a week for how ever long you want to water for. Battery will last for two years if remove and store over winter.Good quality reasonably priced.

Good value and very speedy delivery.This unit easy to use and installExcellent

Bought to replace its big brother the 1874 which has become too expensive to consider. It is crucial to take the whole unit indoors overwinter they are not frost proof. The item I bought was £39 so ok. Would recommend.

The Gardena water control started leaking from the top after a short time. I contacted Gardena directly, and they admitted it’s a common issue but offered no solution or help. Very disappointed with both the product quality and customer service. Would not recommend.

I love this timer, works very well. Quality item. I do cover it because it’s outside, just to protect it. Easy to program, value for money
