Product Overview and Features
- Durable Brass Inlet/Outlet: The Diivoo watering timer is equipped with robust brass inlet and outlet ports, offering superior resistance to corrosion and aging. It supports water pressure from 7.25 to 116 PSI. The timer comes with a plug, a metal filter, and a sealing kit to effectively prevent leaks and ensure a secure connection to garden hoses.
- Larger, Clearer LCD Screen: This automatic watering timer features an enhanced, large LCD screen that clearly displays essential information such as watering time, frequency, battery level, and other key settings for simple and intuitive reference.
- IP67 Waterproof: The sprinkler timer boasts an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating, protecting it from rain, dust, and dirt, and preventing water damage and short circuits.
- Rain Delay & Manual Mode: The digital watering timer enables you to program a rain delay from 1 to 7 days. Automatic watering will pause for the specified duration to avoid overwatering, then automatically resume. In manual mode, you can customize watering time from 0 minutes to 4 hours without altering your scheduled program.
- Easy to Program: Schedule watering by setting the local time, start time, watering duration (from 1 minute to 3 hours and 59 minutes), and frequency (two options: every 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, or 12 hours; or a daily cycle: even days or odd days). This provides precise control over your specific watering needs.
- Low Battery Protection: The automatic watering timer operates with two AAA alkaline batteries (not included), providing a battery life of 6 to 8 months. When the batteries are low, the water source operation will automatically stop to prevent waste and overwatering, thus protecting your plants.
