Automatic watering with Rain Bird irrigation controller

Have you installed an irrigation system, but don't want to keep turning the tap on and off manually? Or are you going on holiday and want your irrigation system to run automatically at set times, without having to ask friends or family? Then a Rain Bird irrigation controller is the ideal solution.

With this tap timer, you can easily automate your watering schedule by setting custom start times. This allows you to water your garden and plants on your own schedule without having to turn on the tap yourself.

Position the water timer between tap and hose

Simply connect the water timer between your outdoor tap and the irrigation hose. Leave the tap open, and the irrigation timer controls when water flows through. No need to ask anyone to water your lawn, pots, or planters while you're away. The timer threads directly onto a tap with a 3/4" connection and connects to a hose with a 3/4" connection.

Program the controller to your preferences

You can easily program the Rain Bird irrigation controller to suit your needs. Thanks to the display screen and intuitive controls, setup is quick and simple. The included Rain Bird manual provides clear step-by-step instructions.

The irrigation controller offers the following settings:

• Set up to 2 start times per day
  
• Option to select specific days of the week to water or skip
• Watering duration adjustable from 1 to 119 minutes
• Instant manual watering with the 'water now' button
• Rain delay function: manually delay or cancel watering for 6 to 96 hours (e.g. when it rains)
