I
got the Gideon Electronic Dual-valve Hose Irrigation Water Timer
Sprinkler System – Simple Hose Connection with Easy to Use Digital
System so that I can water my flowers easily. When I go on vacations
my husband never remembers to water the flowers so I come home to
dead flowers. Or if I have someone else water them I feel like I am
imposing. My daughter-in-law suggested I try this. I am now hopeful
that I will have nice flowers this summer instead of ones I am
fighting to keep alive.
Unfortunately,
it is the middle of winter here so I have to wait to really test out
this with water and hoses but I got to play around with it and wanted
to do review which I can edit later if I need to.
I
first noticed that this is heavy enough and seems sturdy even though
it is plastic. I think it should hold up very nicely to the weather.
I will bring it in for the winter though. It has a cover for the
face which is nice.
I
had a hard time figuring out where the battery compartment was. It
was very difficult to open. I imagine that is what makes it
waterproof. If you have trouble get a pliers out and pinch the sides
and pull. It takes 2 AA batteries which are NOT included. I hate
when they are not included.
Once
the batteries where in it was clear how to set up.
I
like that 2 hoses can be attached and set at different times. I
don't have to go out and change or move hoses. I will have to
remember that if both are going off at the same time the water
pressure will be different so if you are using a sprinkler it will
not throw the water as far. Either set it to go at different times or
put the sprinkler in a different spot.
There
is no limit to the number of times it can be set to go off each day.
And it will go for 4 hours max at a time. If you want it to go
longer just set it to start again.
There
is also a manual setting so you can use your hose for something else
without disconnecting the monitor.
I
am excited to have nice flowers again.
