Mechanical irrigation timers provide simple hose-end watering control without a programmable electronic schedule. Set the desired run time and the timer shuts off flow when the interval ends. Compare maximum duration, connection size, operating flow or pressure requirements, and any manual-on function.
Mechanical models are useful when each watering event is started in person. Choose an electronic timer when recurring schedules or multiple zones are needed, or browse all irrigation timers before selecting a controller.
