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

I couldn’t be happier with this sprinkler timer! The RAINPOINT Sprinkler Timer has made watering my patio plants so much easier and more consistent. I have quite a few plants out there, and before this, it was a daily chore trying to keep up with everything—especially during hotter days. Now, I just set the schedule and let the timer handle it. The programming is straightforward, and I love the flexibility between automatic, manual, and rain delay modes. It’s been super reliable so far, and I’ve noticed my plants actually look healthier since they’re getting watered on a consistent schedule. I specifically use it with my patio setup, and it works great with my hose—no leaks, no hassle. If you’re looking for a simple, effective way to automate watering (especially for a patio full of plants like mine), this is definitely worth it!

Installation was simple and straight forward. I've had it hooked up for months and have not had any issues with it yet. Doesn't leak and has been pretty reliable. The display is easy to see. 10/10 would recommend. No complaints on the Rainpoint timer.

Have bought multiple of these to help me with watering beds in my yard. They work well and are very straightforward with how to use. I even bought my 78 year old mother one and she loves it.

The programming options available on this timer are awesome! It turned on and off when it was supposed to and was easy to read The shut off mechanism works fast and created a nasty water hammer every time it shut off. If I were using it for a long time I would definitely install a hammer arrestor. If the threaded end of your hose bib (water spigot) is at an angle versus straight up and down, you will need a short length of hose so the device can connect directly into the top if the timer. If you don’t do this, the timer will leak. It was clearly called out in the instructions, I just wish I knew before I tried to install it. Overall it’s a decent timer for short term use.

Excellent product and oh so, simple!

Super easy to navigate the programming of the RainPoint watering timer because the directions are clear and concise, also containing corresponding pictures for the user to reference every step of the way. The dial is easy to turn but not so much that something will get changed by accident. The set up modes are clearly marked around the dial and the display is easy to be read, just as it is in the product picture. The real test is installing it to the faucet and turning it on. Just be sure to test the internal water valve as the directions state. I will have to update this review later to be able to write about reliability or water resistance because I am just installing it today.

This has saved me so much time and effort. Great value for $$&. Easy to program and can use manually too without having to cancel programming

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.

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.

Vorgestern bestellt, heute schon geliefert bekommen - ein dickes Lob an Amazon/DHL-Logistikteam! ich habe eine Serie von Fotos gemacht, um einen ersten Eindruck von diesem Gerät vermitteln zu können: Unboxing, Batterieeinsetzen, Uhreinstellung, Anschluß am Gartenwasserhahn und Erstinbetriebnahme.... in 10 min. läuft so weit alles. Die Bedienungsanleitung braucht man wirklich nicht. Das ganze macht einen sehr soliden Eindruck. Beim Einschalten macht der Ventil einen kleinen Knack, das Wasser fließt dann sofort - ohne merklichen Druckverlust. So weit funktioniert alles wie aus der Produktbeschreibung. Manualler Betrieb ist etwas umständlich weil man mehrere Tasten drücken muss, aber es geht. Anders als in manchen Rezessionen falsch beschrieben, die Zeit des manuellen Betriebs läßt sich mit +/- Tasten hoch- bzw. runter setzen, also kein Problem. Programmierung ist sehr einfach, allerdings in der Flexibilität/Varibilität etwas eingeschränkt - für die meisten Anwendungen m.E. ausreichend. Garantieanspruch läßt sich von 2 auf 3 Jahre kostenlos verlängern, Sie brauchen nur ein E-mail an den Händler schicken und die Verlängerung aktivieren lassen. Bleib abzuwarten wie lange die Freude an diesem Gerät hält.

Il programmatore funziona con 2 pile mini-stilo AAA (non in dotazione). La programmazione è intuitiva e veloce. Il manuale di istruzioni è in inglese e tedesco. Ruotando la ghiera si può accedere alle varie funzioni. Una volta impostato l’orario, possiamo scegliere l’ora in cui iniziare l’irrigazione e per quanto tempo. E’ possibile anche scegliere quanto spesso farlo attivare (ogni x ore oppure ogni x giorni). Si può anche accendere manualmente (ed in questo caso il programma si attiva per 9 minuti). Posso inoltre ritardare l’avvio (per esempio in caso di pioggia) del tempo desiderato. Sempre ruotando la ghiera posso metterlo in posizione OFF per spegnerlo. Sono davvero soddisfatto e lo consiglio.
