RAINPOINT Sprinkler Timer, Programmable Water Timer for Garden Hose, Outdoor Soaker Hose Timed with Rain Delay/Manual/Automatic Watering System, Digital Irrigation for Yard, Lawn, 1 Outlet

This garden timer works perfectly and has made watering so much easier for me. It was very easy to set up, and the instructions were simple to follow. I love that you can fully customize it, you can choose how long the water runs, how often it runs, and exactly what time you want it to start. That flexibility makes it perfect for gardens, lawns, or drip systems. It’s reliable, user-friendly, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. I would absolutely recommend this timer to anyone looking to simplify their watering schedule.

Fabulous timer! I would recommend it 100% easy to compute and it kept my garden watered all summer long coming on exactly what it was supposed to. Hooked it up to my faucet in my pasture and my hose to my garden and it never missed a beat. I would recommend it to everyone really is a great timer.

This worked great for me. I'm using it short term for new grass seed. It's very easy to install and program. I love that there is a small quantity of silicone tape to apply to the threaded connection points to prevent leakage. My main worry was having to leave the water turned on and potential continuous leakage. Other than a little leaking when it first kicks off, there is no leakage. The meter is easy to read and the battery power is still very good after two weeks of operation. The timing mechanism is a little off putting as some other reviewers had mentioned. If you interrupt the sequencing for a mechanical run or test, it does suspend/interrupt the rest of the day's schedule. Still, if you set it and forget it, it works perfectly. On one occasion, I noticed it wasn't sprinkling water at the designated time. I checked the unit and saw it counting down but no water was sprinkling. It took me a minute to figure out the problem. I had accidentally turned off the hose bibb/spigot off out of habit! My bad! Once you have a little experience with the programming and operation, it's a great sprinkler timer! I highly recommend.

The RAINPOINT Sprinkler Timer is an affordable, easy-to-use option for automating garden or lawn watering. It offers flexible scheduling, manual and automatic modes, and a useful rain-delay feature to save water. Setup is simple, though the instructions could be clearer, and the plastic fittings feel a bit light-duty. Overall, it’s a reliable, budget-friendly timer that works well for small to medium gardens, especially if you don’t need advanced smart features.

Simple and straightforward to setup and works as expected

This RAINPOINT sprinkler timer has been a great addition to my garden setup. For the price, it performs exactly as I’d hoped—simple to program, reliable so far, and it actually fits and seals properly on the spigot, which is more than I can say for a lot of cheaper hose accessories. I was pleasantly surprised by how well the washers and seals worked. I usually expect some degree of leaking or poor fit with budget-friendly timers, but this one connected cleanly and hasn’t dripped once. Setup took just a few minutes, and I love having the option for manual watering alongside the scheduled cycles. The rain delay feature is also a nice touch for saving water after a storm. Battery life remains to be seen, but so far, no complaints. If you’re looking for a no-fuss, affordable timer to automate your watering routine, this one is definitely worth it.

Nice quality. Works great!

I bought 15 of these to water a newly seeded lawn. I bought them because of the hourly watering feature thinking I could use the combination of the start time and frequency to achieve what I wanted: water every 9 hours starting at 7am for X number of minutes (different amounts for different sprinklers). I have my sprinklers daisy-chained with a 2-way splitter at each sprinkler and just staggered the start time for each one so they'd have enough water pressure to run well. I have them mostly hooked right to the sprinklers directly, but I also needed a few short (3') hose extensions to keep the all the timer controls accessible for all of them. The way this is built, though, the start time option in this timer only works on the first day of watering. It is ignored after that and it doesn't reset each day. What it's doing is just adding the number of hours you set in the "how often" option to the last watering time. This happens perpetually until the end of time after your first day's start time. It doesn't care if it's the middle of the night - it will continue to water every X hours nonstop forever. For example, in my case with the above settings: Day 1: 7am, 4pm (no problem - as expected) Day 2: 1am, 10am, 7pm Day 3: 4am, 1pm, 10pm etc, etc What I had expected is that the start time would be used each day: day 1: 7am, 4pm day 2: 7am, 4pm day 3: 7am, 4pm etc Since I programmed a "start time" of 7am and my frequency landed the third watering at 1am the next day, I would have thought the timer would think "oh! that's before the start time!" and ignore it and then pick up at 7am again. It doesn't. Again, the start time only works on DAY 1. My workaround is to go and reset them at the end of each day so the start time gets reset. I don't understand how anyone could use the hourly watering feature unless: a) They set it for every 12 hours - in this case, the time of day would never change. This works at the height of summer, maybe, but in the spring/fall it would be difficult to have this land during daylight hours. b) They manually turn their water on at their desired start time on Day 2 and onwards. And if they wanted it to stop watering (since there's no "end time" option) they'd need to turn off their water at the end of each day. c) If you have them daisy chained like I do, buy a different timer (not one of these) and install it at the hose bib before all the other timers and set that one with a desired start/end time to ensure no watering happens overnight (still doesn't solve for the shifting start time, though - would only work with even-numbered frequencies or every hour) d) They are okay with the system watering all hours of the day or night (I can't imagine this being useful) This could be solved completely by adding an "end time" feature to the device or even partly solved for by programming the unused "OK" button to add some sort of "reset each day" option. The "end time" option would require a change to their hardware which might be a big deal, but the "reset each day" would just be reprogramming to make it a little smarter and solve for more scenarios. Even simpler would be to make "reset each day" the default even if you can't control it. While it is partly on me for not understanding how their feature worked before buying, I think the description of the product's feature is misleading. They should make this a LOT more clear for those of us interested in the hourly watering feature. The description should say something like "START TIME ONLY WORKS ON DAY 1". I would've spent the $5 more for their multi-schedule timer had I known. Then I wouldn't have this problem. So I took off one and half stars for a stated feature that is poorly implemented. I took of another 1.5 stars because out of 15 units, 3 have failed. In two, water filled inside the LCD screen enclosure. In one, the manual water option does not work. I would have given a one-star rating, except these are about the cheapest watering timers you can get and the ones that didn't break work pretty flawlessly and simply (with above caveats). I can see some value if you only wanted these for the daily watering feature - at that point, I expect the start time is always the same and (expect for product quality issues) this might solve the need perfectly. For hourly watering timings, timings, I would not recommend this product unless you can deal with one of the workarounds.

Recibimos el temporizador automático en perfectas condiciones, protegido únicamente por la caja en la que se presenta y se agradece encontrar un film plástico en su pantalla digital que asegura lo recibamos sin ninguna marca. Antes de comentarles aspectos sobre el temporizador, ya les puedo adelantar la mayor crítica que he encontrado, y se centra en su manual de instrucciones que no viene en español, un detalle que no puedo llegar a comprender el comercializar un producto en España y no añadir instrucciones en ese idioma. El temporizador está construido totalmente en un plástico que se aprecia de mucha calidad y resulta convincente la anotación que encontramos en la publicación del producto, cuando indica que está realizado en un plástico de grado industrial. En su parte trasera, dispone de una tapa que podemos retirar para insertar las dos pilas de tipo “AAA” que no vienen incluidas, esta tapa cumple de forma muy fiable la estanqueidad necesaria para evitar una posible entrada de agua en este compartimento. Lo que más me ha llamado la atención es su facilidad de uso, con todo lo necesario y bien pensado para poder gestionarlo sin mucha complicación. Esta tarea sencilla se consigue gracias a su dial rotatorio en el que podremos acceder de una forma simple a sus principales funciones, para intentar facilitarles la comprensión en su manejo les indico las funciones principales de su dial: Set Lock: Para establecer la hora actual. Start Time: Se establece la hora de inicio. How Long: Podemos seleccionar la duración del riego, desde 1 minuto hasta 3h 59 minutos. How Often: Nos permite escoger la frecuencia pudiendo escoger de 1h a 23h o de 1 día a 7 días. La instalación resulta muy elemental, tan solo tenemos que enroscar en el grifo escogiendo una de las dos piezas que ya vienen colocadas con sus respetivas juntas tóricas y tendremos el temporizador colocado sin encontrar fugas de agua. Tan solo puedo transmitir mi experiencia con las pruebas realizadas durante dos días, su funcionamiento ha resultado exitoso y tan solo me queda la apreciación en cuanto a su durabilidad. Con anterioridad ya he tenido ocasión de probar un temporizador de una marca muy conocida en el entorno de la jardinería y aunque no existe una exagerada diferencia de precio, este temporizador cumple de la misma manera que el que he tenido, con la diferencia de ofrecer una mejor experiencia en cuanto a la facilidad con su manejo.

This is a great sprinkler timer. I have used it for 2 summers now and have not had an issue. I like that you can set it and forget it and your garden just gets watered. I am going to keep using it as long as I can! I don't even find that it uses the batteries very fast.

funciona como se menciona en la publicacion

Was looking for an automatic watering system for my garden. This was an amazing product and easy to set up. Has been monitoring it for the past weeks and it never fails to impress me. No leaks even with high pressure from water pump and super easy to setup in less than a min.

Simple and accurate
