I need a timer that waters the veggies deeply through a hose system a few days/week while we are on vac. Will this timer allow me to do that?

This Gardena timer is probably the best manual timer on the market. Perfect for one watering at a time! You'll need a programmable timer, and I've tried those ones at Lowe's and Home Depot only to return them as they leaked and dripped.

In a word, no. It's basically a one-time use dial. Turn it to the amount of time you need and the dial moves down to zero and shuts off.

This is not what you need. This timer lets you manually set a duration to water.

Babyjoy, this is not the timer you need as this one needs to be set manually (like an egg timer). For your purpose, you need a programmable timer. I've tried many brands and think the Clabers are the best even though they're pricey. Melnor makes some decent ones but I replaced one after about 3:seasons. Digi also makes a good one and is available at The Dripstore if you can't find it here on Amazon. Good luck.

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.

Yes. Each of the triggers represents a 15 minute duration. I used mine to power a water pump inside a plant cloning unit. You could definitely set an on 15, off 15, on 15 etc., cycle for a two-hour period, and have the remaining triggers in the 24-hour cycle set to off. Works like a charm.

Yes, it has two timers, each can be used to control a motor (the filtration pump and the cleaner pump).

Device timer have 2 sets one is frequency, second one is watering time. Frequency of watering you can install from 2.4 hours ( set day to 0.1) thru 720 hours (set day to 30) Watering time may be set from 1 second to 99 seconds I'm watering weekly for 90 second 3 big plants and 2 small Timer set: day =7 , sec =90 Correspondingly timer will powering pump every 168 hours for 1 min 30 sec But you need different volume of water to different plant. You can resolve it by different way: - use 2 nozzles for every big plant and 1 nozzle for medium - split one pipe(nozzle) to two plant (you need create splitter for this) - make long pipe for small plants (read table in instruction) - or/and put them more higher then big one. In any case measure volume of water delivered by every pipe into jar by pushing test button and adjust to desired using methods above In my case used 1 nozzle for every big plant and one splitted nozzle for small plants that also stay one foot higher and have longer pipe

I bought this hose and have used it with a MELNOR Digital Water Timer - Set it to water every day for 20 minutes in the Summer and my plants thrived. B/c it's a soaker hose you don't always see it as doing a ton of watering (esp if you bury it under the mulch) but it did give my plants the water they needed at the root system.

Hey Anna, I put a Meyer Lemon in it and they need superb drainage. There is no on/off solution with this product, I used a drill.

Yes, it's perfect for using with a hose. You can set the timer and then go on to do other things without having to worry about leaving it on all night, as I have done before buying this timer.

It will possibly work IF you can connect the hose to your vac with an air tight fit. The outside diameter of the hose end is 1 3/8" and it includes two adapters with O.D.'s of 1 5/8" and 2". On the other hand, I think the filter bag might clog up right away. I had to clean my larger filter regularly.

Likely yes, if you can have keep the strainer on the pot above the surface of the water. Test it after 2, 3, 4,5 or so minutes to ensure the veggies aren't turned into mush.

It is a very simple mechanical timer. It will stop the flow of water when the timer runs down. I don't see why it wouldn't work...

This timer is for an entire sprinkler system, not just a hose. Underground valves and sprinkler heads are required.

I have one zone with a small drip setup for my potted plants. It only runs for about 4 min. Once a week. So far no problems.

Yes. It is very simple: There are two "buttons" for manual watering. One is labeled "water one zone now" - select the zone and push the button (and you can vary the time easily). The other button is labeled "water all now" - push the button and your entire water schedule is initiated.

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

I'm using one of these with the suction attachment shortened and it works well. Ideally I would like to attach a hose to drain into another container rather than filter through the bag and use it while doing partial water changes, but it is working quite well for the price as is after I cut the teeth down most of the way on the bell like suction attachment for the bottom.

A timer doesn't work so well. Unless you manually bleed the system, there is still one spritz left in the sprinkler after the timer goes off.
