Do you have to remove the timer from the faucet if you want to use the water hose without having to use the timer?

No, you can just turn on the timer and water will flow. The problem is that the timer significantly restricts the volume of water to your hose. I bought a Gilmore timer the other day and its much better, but even it restricts the flow. When I have a lot of water to use, I take the timer off.

Probably you would have to take it off, but there are very few times when you would want to go to that trouble. How often do you have the water on for more than two hours?

No, you turn the knob counterclockwise to "manual" and it the valve will stay open, and then you control the flow with the faucet knob as if it weren't there.

The timer has a manual setting that allows you to use the hose without setting the timer.

Not for me, since the timer has never actually shut off the hose - it is useless.

There are two parts. You must detach the hose to use the faucet, but the mounting head that still remains on the faucet works just like a regular faucet head.

No, the black piece on the left side pulls down to release water into the hose; then you move upward to shut off. So, I believe if you do not have a hose hooked up to the manual side you leave it up. The right side is control by the dial which can be shut off. I have a hose hooked up on the right side that goes to 3 underground sprinklers and is automatically set by how I set the dial. The other side I have a hose set up that is controlled by manual up or down thing on the left that I use for mostly garden activity.

No, faucet head does not remove. It is one single piece that is threaded to fit things such as a hose etc...

The nice thing is the brass fittings are the same threads. It just unscrews (hold the outer brass ring keep the top brass fitting in-place and turn). Be careful to make sure the new rubber gasket is set properly, so you don't cut it. You don't need a timer--I just bought a grounded timer at one of many stores and use it to turn on the circulating pump a bit before my wife intends to use hot water (she has a firm schedule). Some timers can be set to go on/off several times a day. I thought the timer was a good idea, since there's no reason for hot water to be circulating through the house (i.e., heating the house and using energy from the water heater) if we didn't need it. The replacements come with a "flow dial". I called the company and they said the high setting is equivalent to the standard/set setting on the old pumps, so that's where mine is.

Rather than a cutoff, I went to the local hardware store and purchased an inexpensive timer that fits between the faucet and hose. This way no unwanted pressure on the hose that can cause it to rupture.

No, I remove mine regularly to attach a fish tank cleaner to the faucet. It simply screws on and off.

no it does not require a separate faucet, however you can add a separate one if you want it.

It does connect directly to the faucet. The connector is on top of the valve box. The timer is actually a separate piece that slides onto the valve unit. It's a piece of cake.

You can turn off the nozzle or when it stops retracting the water stops; however, if you want the water pressure off the hose, you must turn it off at the house.

No you don't have to use the timer. All you have to do is push the button in do not hold it in this is what sets the timer.

That should not happen unless the little water sprinkler icon is visible on the display OR if the batteries need to be replaced.. If that icon is visible it means that your timer is currently on and allowing water to flow. I had an issue with some cheap batteries not working well in the unit. I have to replace them with name brand batteries for it to actually shut the water off. hope that helps

Nope. There is just an on/off switch. You can leave it on with no hose attached but there is not a setting for it.

No shutoff but usually it's hooked up after faucet's shutoff so no big deal.

That depends how you want to use it. There is a waterfall and so In order for the waterfall to keep working a hose needs to be on the whole time. However, if you don't want to use the waterfall then you can just fill up the pool and turn off the water

Yes, you do not have to use timer with this particular unit. You can program scene or not and just use device to turn on & off

No the manual connection on the left is controlled by a lever. The black strip on the left side of the timer is a lever. You pull it towards you to turn on the water flow from the left connector. To turn it off you push it down until it is flush with the body as show in the picture. You can control the flow of water by pulling the lever up part way.
