Can I set both a time and increment I desire, e.g. once a day for one hour or every other day for one hour?

There is no "daily function" ... this is a mechanical device that works like an old-fashion kitchen timer or mechanical alarm clock ... there are no batteries, no digital display, no date or clock function .. you must turn a knob to set the mechanical spring that sets the watering time. There is no "set it and forget function. You must actively set the timer every time you wish to use it. BTW, here in Texas, the State Legislature passed a bill requiring HOAs to allow xeriscaping ... many HOAs still require applications for "landscape modifications" but those applications cannot be reasonably denied. (Texas S.B. No. 198)

This timer is a simple set the time to water. Mine has worked very well and does shut off as expected. This one does not have a multiple program capability.

This timer is a manual set timer. You set it for 1 hour or fifteen minutes or whatever, and it ticks down like an egg timer as stated in the description. You reset it every time you want to use it. Ours lasted for several years and was a great value for the price.

No. It's is a mechanical time. If you want to vary watering by day of the week, hour of the day and watering time you should look at electronic water timers that attach to your hose bib. Hope this helps. (BTW we suggest you go organic, reduce your lawn size and use native plants that require less water thereby minimizing your overall watering needs and work, too.)

No, it's s pretty simple timer(I love mine!) but it's kind of like a kitchen timer.

Yes, you can program it to go on and off several times a day if you like. I use it in larger increments twice a day; but it does allow you to program it in 15 minute increments.

Yes, fairly easily. You can have it set on a daily basis, just for one day, or different odd days. You have to read the manual a little but it's not hard.

You can set it to run the program every day. Mine is set to run every morning and every evening.

Yes, programming can be done in as small as 1 minute intervals. Each on/off is an event, and up to 8 events can be set per day.

We run our system 24/7 so we have it on both. You just set the interval you want and the duration of each event.

Just hit the min button to the desired time and hit start. If you want to have the timer set for multiple different times at once, just choose T1 through T4 and set the time for each.

It has a program button that you hold and set a time. We have not used it before.

You can't specify 8 hrs etc, but you can set it to do intervals by using schedule. For instance I water every other day at 6AM. By using the schedule you can program it to wTer every day at say ten and six, or monday thursday at ten and tuesday froday at six (36 in between). You can schedule more than obe time on one line, you just have to follow the rules spelled out in book that comes with

Yes - you can set each of the 2 intervals for any lenght of time you want. You cannot set multiple sets of intervals.

I guess we only have a choice of two -- the automatic one on which you can set the total time and then the custom one that we set however we want it. Yes, they are a pain to set.

Yes, you can clock in and out more than once a day. You can clock in/out for breaks and lunch if you desire.

You can change the time. In fact, you will need to adjust it from time to time, as it does not keep perfect time.

You can set date and time which is in the menue list, you need to set both by scrolling to "date/time" menue.

Yes. It is set via a text file. Which then updates automatically as time passes.
374505
Oh yes - definitely !! You choose the date and the specific time. In fact, you can even program it to turn on (and off) for up to eight different times during various days (and times) of the week.

I believe that both the on and off time can be set to whatever you want. I use on a sunset and off at midnight. The sunset/sunrise times are programmed into it already. You just have to tell it where you live.
