Literally just bought that timer, mines branded Melnor but is identical for $50. I run drip tape on 1 zone, poly tubing with drip emmiters 2 zones, and one for a sprinkler or hose...
Perfect. I will try this out. For some reason, May has been very wet for the past 4 years - and we had flooding the past 3 years (on other areas in my province), so, I haven't needed to water at all for about 4 weeks. I do need it though so that my gardening can be less work and I can plant more things and not worry about taking 2 hours to water my garden in summer. Excellent work.
This year, I ended up running that rainbird tubing to all my raised beds, then attaching soaker hoses (which I already had). Works way better and looks better than having short lengths of garden hoses all over the place to run soaker hoses. Still need to pick out a timer to water while I am on vacation.
I’m trying to grow an entire lawn. It’s HOT outside and No shade. Don’t wanna waste money on watering trying to get grass seeds to germinate. Will this work to grow/germinate grass seed?
Awesome this looks so easy… you saved me a bunch of time and money! TY! Now I can make sure my new tangerine, blueberries and lemon trees are getting watered!
Though easy to set up and makes life easier in terms of watering. I stopped using watering timer because of malfunction from one of the plastic sections of the Rainbird timer i bought years ago. I came home one sunny afternoon to discover that the plastic part of the meter that connects to the water supply loosened and disconnected due to overheating from the sun. This led to gallons of water wasted. I wish the timer parts were made with brass.
I have used the two outlet timers on two lawn renovations. One, 150 miles from home at a lake home which is basically used on weekends. I've had to rely on my sprinklers to function without error which they have. I have confidence they work without having to be there to watch them. I've had four sprinkler zones requiring two timers. This new timer has eliminated the need for both timers and free up my dual units for other areas I previously could not cover. My new four outlet timer is as dependable as my others that I have been useing for two years now. Programming is easy and dependable. I do wish all hose connections were brass as I am sometimes concerned I might break the plastic connection. That would make the best timer I've found even better and perhaps longer lasting. You will not be disappointed with this timer.rainpoint sprinkler timer
What’s the best way to water a side walk that has a fence, I tried to drill some hoes using a Old garden hose but kind of worked but I trying to get a water spray effect.
Is it good to use when your plants could get powdery mildew? I’m just asking because I’m trying to figure out my watering system that I have here and I bought a single what time in line?
I'd love to have that but can't have a hose running over my lawn at all times, just mowing would be more of a hassle moving it out of the way instead of hand watering. It's nice though.

I totally need this!! Thank you!! I don’t know why but watering systems are intimidating. This helps a lot. It actually looks easy.

Good idea to pick up a pressure regulator too.
Awesome this looks so easy… you saved me a bunch of time and money! TY!

Does it have a Backflow within it? And a Pressure regulator?
Don’t forget a backflow preventer and a psi regulator.
Not needed

Does this require a backflow preventer and pressure regulator for each line?
Do you have a full video about this topic? It's so fast :D
Hey Sarah! I'm going to film one over the next week or two to go through it in greater detail!
I want to see this too!!
@@MindandSoil Did you ever do this? Can you share the link? I don't see it in your videos.
How do you connect the “main line” to the small tubing?
Thank you!
So do you leave the tap running
Thank you
Can you share the link of the product?
What adapter would I need if the water is coming from a hose not a faucet?
Sorry, this might be a dumb question. But, do you keep the water running? Will it damage the lines?
The timer controls your water on/off with its own valve. You leave the spigot on all the time.
What’s the name of the timer ?

How can i order this automated water system
Is it good to use when your plants could get powdery mildew? I’m just asking because I’m trying to figure out my watering system that I have here and I bought a single what time in line?
That would cause that, a way around that is to have a slow drip system at the base of the plant or a below ground watering solution
Do I just turn on the hose faucet indefinitely or will that explode? How does it control when the water turns on and off?
yes you keep them turned on the electronic device will control the waterflow as you set it up to be
I'd love to have that but can't have a hose running over my lawn at all times, just mowing would be more of a hassle moving it out of the way instead of hand watering. It's nice though.
so run the main line in a trench and bury it
Check the batteries periodically.
I'm looking have a solar powered timer that has drip feed out out water bucket. Any body know of a set up like this
Please tell me where you got those male and female connecters i cant find anything like it
You can get it at Walmart, Home Depot and Lowes.
love it
So glad to hear! Thanks for watching :)
Why is this not the most efficient system? What do you mean by that?
Do you need a water pressure regulator?
Yes you do
@Lafox23 if you need a pressure regulator, why didn’t you include that step? 🤔
@@Couchfarmer just listen to the professionals and not some guy making UA-cam Shorts
Trying to plant a lawn.
Will this work?
I would suggest overhead sprinkling for germinating lawn seeds :) Thanks for watching !
Amazon is likely cheaper.
No anti syphon on the spigot?
They make one that uses Bluetooth and app on phone to program
Oh interesting! Thanks for watching :)

I bought a 2 zone vigoro timer and it broke down in. 1 week. Garbage product.
Oh dang! I haven't had that experience before :( I hope they were able to replace that for you. Thanks for watching!

The longer your line is, the lower pressure yours is. This is why I left it to the professionals.
Drip systems are actually pretty DIY friendly if you know what you’re doing and have the proper knowledge before hand.
Is this a watering system for ants?
