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.

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

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

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.

No, but the timer only uses 1 AAA battery. If you'd like though, the battery is easily accessible so you could just take it out when you wanted to "turn it off".

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.

Yes, you just need to plug the pump into the output side of the timer or cut off the plug and "hard wire" the cord into the output side of the control box.

Yes, you program each zone independent of the other zones. We ran 3 zones on the timer and left one off the timer to be used with the hose.

No... the one control knob turns to use the shower head, jets or hose separately. We didn't hook up the tub faucet so I can't answer for that choice.

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.

At first, I couldn't get the water tank off - I had to fill it by putting the whole unit under the faucet. Then, my husband got it "unstuck," so yes, you can remove it. My problem with the unit is that I can't get enough pressure unless I put my hand in the water and keep the black plastic thing-a-ma-jig slightly raised on one side. Very annoying!

Yes. You can turn off the water with the handle at any position. I have only two problems with this faucet. One, the spout does not easy go back into the stand. And two, the water stops flowing out when I pull out the spout to rinse the back of sink. The hose is too ridge it that it cuts the flow of water.

I don't know about with a timer as I haven't used one, but the unit itself can be left unattended. That is its purpose. We have enjoyed great success with using it in our pump house unattended this winter.

This don't connect to a faucet. It is a timer for an underground sprinkler system.

There is no separate "water shut off valve" included as part of this set; you could buy what's referred to as a "gate valve" separately, if you wished. Or you can just turn it off using the dial on the gardena timer these attachments go with. (turn it to zero)

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.
