I need a valve that stops the pump when the timers rods for water (pressure rises), and starting the pump when the timers allows for irrigation.

This pressure switch turns the pump on when the pressure drops below 30 pounds ands turns the pump off when the pump reaches 50 pounds pressure. The settings are adjustable within a few pounds either way. It will work on both 120 volt and 240 volt pumps. It works based on pressure only. A timer may interfere with it's operation. Hope this helps.

There is no need to set pump timers on hydro systems like this setup. That is to say, the pump should run continuously. Additionally, I would recommend getting another line connected to a circular (large) water stone to put in the bottom reservoir to hydrate the lower root system. Keep in mind that roots are divided into 3 sections: Water roots (found at the bottom of the root ball), Air Roots or root hairs (found at the top of the root ball), and Combination Roots (found at the middle of the root ball).

There is no shutoff valve. You can install one inline. It is not a good sprayer for seedlings, but it is good for watering shrubs and perennials.

I am not familiar with the "kees" sprinkler, I have the "National Walking Sprinkler", and it is not designed to automatically turn off when it does something like drive up a ramp. I set mine to go for hours at a time, and simply have a timer valve on the hose connection at the water supply. These can be purchased at most hardware type stores and are very inexpensive and are all mechanical so they don't need a power supply or batteries.

I would like this typr of timer ( spray every five minutes for the duration of one minute) to use on misting lines

Be careful attaching to a y; it makes the timer hang at an unnatural angle and with the additional weight/pressure of an attached hose could cause damage to the timer housing. Think about a water manifold.

The valve is normaly close. Electro magnt holds it open when it get the signal from the timer. The valve is spring loaded. Good chance it will work ok as long as no calcium deposit prev3nt it from working freely.if the source of water is faitly free from minirals, i ould try it.

Since this is a timer with built-in valve, anything it is hooked up to will be shut off when that is called for by the timer. Any other restriction will depend on what is attached to the outlet side of the valve. If you have another hose on the outlet side, it will flow just as well as if the timer were not there when it is open.

You could adjust your hose flow for the volume, there is no timer function. It's a pretty simple set up. It measures the water flow. Be sure to buy spare batteries as soon as you get it. I'm only using about one and a half a season, but they go out with zip for warning.

I use it to to run two sprinklers on my lawn at night. I have about 45 pounds pressure and it works well. You can probably test your situation by hooking your hose directly and checking how the watering works. The timer will not reduce the pressure very much. Charles

That didn't work in my case. I went with a 2 way shut off valve (find them in the garden center of your local box hardware store)

This valve is design for water only with high pressure. You need to find different valve.

They used to have one but it is discontinued.. I suspect that the reason is that many water systems have pressure too high and that would damage the hose. (btw I'm keeping my auto shut off as i have low water pressure)

The timer is installed between the outlet and your pump. I would recommend hanging onto the receipt. I usually get one, one and a half seasons from these things. I believe this has a one year warranty.

Sure - why not? Hook to hose - set timer - turn on water - Remember, it shuts off on time, not amount of water.

I have the same timer in my greenhouse to run misters. I have the orbit valve (Orbit 57100 3/4-Inch Female Pipe Threaded Auto Inline Sprinkler Valve) connected to it. The timer itself comes with an AC adapter. It has worked perfectly. I believe I did purchase an adapter since I have the orbit valve connected to my outdoor hose faucet and then another on the other side for the hose that runs to the misters. Of course it's meant to be plumbed with pvc and the 3/4" fittings, but the valve is versatile, just need imagination.

I bought two valves from Lowes. Same problem at first: as long as it's hooked, water just run through. What I found was this is the default status for the valve. To solve it, you need to connect it to the timmer, adjust to manual watering for 1 min, when 1 min is up, the valve shuts off. No problem.
