Rain Bird 1ZEHTMR Professional Irrigation Controller

This is the best hose timer in the galaxy! We bought it to help us with some major lawn rehab and maintenance going forward. I have been frustrated with every mechanical timer I've tried so far because they restrict water flow so much, but this battery powered unit still allows 5 gpm + flow thru my 5/8 x 100' long hose which is great because it means I can run a high output impact sprinkler in my front yard and water the entire lawn, without concern of forgetting to shut off the sprinkler. Great for those of us who are busy and/or easily distracted (I see a lot of squirrels).... The user interface is PERFECT. The large dial on the left allows you to toggle quickly and easily thru all the settings, and the buttons are easy to push. The display screen is easy to read so no squinting/scratching your head or second guessing about what it is your doing. You can set this puppy to water everyday, every other, or whatever, and once or twice per day depending on what you're trying to do. For newly planted grass, the twice a day is perfect. Once my new grass is established I'll be able to use this thing for "deep watering" during dry spells because the timer can be set for some really long run times, and I can set it to go off at 4 or 5 AM if I want to. My timer is getting dripped on a bit from the old spicket it's attached to, and so far it really doesn't seem to care. Maybe after a year or so it might die on me, but at around $35 I would probably just buy a new one and not be too upset about it. This is a product I can recommend to others with no reservations at all - this thing is a great buy for anyone with a need to irrigate their lawn or garden.

The people that designed this really thought about how to make this simple. It does exactly what I need. Set the time and date. Set what time(s) you want it to turn on. Set what days you want it to turn on. Set how long it should run for. Turn it on auto and you are done. The only other button is a manual override on/off which helps me test the system and see what parts need replacing without affecting the schedule. It takes AAs that last at least a season so cheap to operate. I now run 4 of these to cover different areas. Only issue is 2 in a riw showed up with cracked LCD screens probably due to some errant package tossing en route. Just look them over when they arrive. Once they are mine they are solid.

Bought this to dedicate one of my water faucets outside my house to water my tomato plants. Reliable and easy to use! If you are trying to use rechargeable double AA batteries, make sure they are rated at 1.5 volts.

This purchase was my second. The first worked fine for probably 5 years to water my garden several days per week. Worked far better than me remembering to turn the water back off. But then -- The design is meant to fail safe. If the battery dies or whatever, the timer fails to turn on. Awesome idea. Mine however failed ON! The rubber diaphragm had a groove worn in it from the plastic seat which had a couple burrs on it, and it stuck open with the water running. I got so lucky though because I parked my car on the hose - so unlikely - and my neighbor noticed it slightly on at the wrong time of day and let me know. Given the years of good service, and hopefully unlikely to repeat, I bought the second unit.

I first bought this sprinkler timer about 9 years ago at HD on sale because it was an opened package. It performed reliably and the batteries would last several years. Eventually, it became unreliable with watering only intermittently. So, it was time to purchase another one. This sprinkler is so easy to operate that reading the instructions is unnecessary! You set the date and time, then what days you want to water, when and for how long and that's it. You can easily turn it off and change the settings at any time. When set on "auto", you can also do a "water now" for as short or long a time as you want. This new timer has performed flawlessly and I expect that it will operate for many years to come. The only thing you will need to occasionally replace is the hose gasket.

The Rain Bird 1ZEHTMR Professional Grade Electronic Digital Hose End Timer/Controller is an excellent tool for automating garden watering, especially beneficial when you're away from home. After purchasing this device, I set it up to manage my garden's watering schedule during our vacation, and it performed flawlessly, activating and deactivating at the programmed times. User-Friendly Setup The setup process was remarkably straightforward; I managed to configure it without consulting the instructions. The device features a large, intuitive screen that makes programming easy. I was pleasantly surprised by its affordability, allowing me to maintain daily watering without having to manually tend to the garden. Reliable Performance Kudos to Rain Bird for creating such a reliable product. The timer effectively waters my garden each day as scheduled, ensuring that my plants receive the necessary hydration without any hassle. I highly recommend this timer for anyone looking to simplify their gardening routine while conserving water resources.

I really wanted to like this irrigation timer because it was super easy to install and set up. Unfortunately, it leaked right out of the box. I tried all the basic fixes—checking the washer, tightening the connection properly, even making sure everything was aligned correctly—and it still leaked. At that point, it’s clearly a product issue, not user error. For something designed to connect directly to a water source, it should come fully equipped to work without extra troubleshooting or additional materials. I shouldn’t have to go buy plumber’s tape or replacement parts just to stop it from leaking. Now I’m stuck having to replace it, which completely defeats the purpose of buying something “convenient” in the first place. Would not recommend.

This is the third Rain Bird timer I have purchased. They function as designed and are easy to use. Solid quality. Good value.

The Rain Bird 1ZEHTMR Electronic Hose End Timer has proven to be an essential addition to my gardening toolkit. Setting up watering schedules for my garden has never been easier. The timer is straightforward to program and offers consistent and reliable performance. It helps conserve water by ensuring precise watering intervals, which is a win for both my garden and the environment. A solid investment for any gardener looking to automate their watering system!

Had two for a few years and they are reliable. Much better than the other choices I had tried over the years.
