Rain Bird Electronic Garden Hose Watering Timer

Rain Bird Electronic Garden Hose Watering Timer is a professional-grade digital controller engineered for automating hose-end sprinklers, drip irrigation systems, and soaker hoses. This 7-day programmable unit provides sophisticated scheduling flexibility, allowing users to set up to two watering times per day on specific days of the week to comply with local watering restrictions. Technical specifications include a working water pressure range from 15 PSI (minimum) to 90 PSI (maximum), with a high-flow design that minimizes pressure loss, ensuring optimal performance for various landscape requirements. The hardware is constructed with a rugged inlet collar to maintain leak-tight performance and is intended for outdoor use with cold water, supporting temperatures up to 110°F.

Functionality is centered around a large, high-visibility digital screen that displays program status, including the next scheduled cycle and remaining time for the current cycle. For immediate control, the timer features dedicated “Water Now” (manual watering) and “Cancel Watering” (rain delay) buttons, with the rain delay function adjustable up to 96 hours without interfering with stored programs. Powered by two AA batteries, the 1ZEHTMR is optimized for efficient water management on slopes or clay soils by enabling multiple cycles that allow for proper soil soaking. Its compatibility with standard garden hose threads and specialized drip irrigation kits makes it a versatile solution for residential yard maintenance and precise water conservation.
