Rain Bird1ZEHTMRP Premium Professional Grade Electronic Digital Hose End Timer/Controller, One Zone/Station, Battery Operated, Brass Inlet/Outlet

Good product. Works well for the drip line.

Works as expected, no funny business. Exactly what we needed to simplify lawn care

Wow, I wasn't aware that they still made the quality rubber garden hoses, but the Rain Bird PGH75HF premium high-flow garden hose was certainly one exception to the rule. Yes, even though the Rain Bird PGH75HF rubber garden hose is undeniably more expensive than the cheap imitations, you simply get what you pay for. I mean, this top quality rubber garden hose is going to last a life time while the cheap imitations will simply find their way to the curb in considerably less time. If you prefer leaks, kinks and messing around with garden hose repair kits, then the Rain Bird PGH75HF rubber garden hose would not be for you. As for me, I purchased one of the Rain Bird PGH75HF rubber garden hoses a couple of months ago for my mother, and her Nelson 1865 'Rain Train' Tractor Traveling Sprinkler made a splendid combination. So, as I was saying, why settle for the cheap imitations, and let them spoil your day? Stay ahead of the game, and get the Rain Bird PGH75HF top quality rubber garden hose now!

This purchase was my second. The first worked fine for probably 5 years to water my garden several days per week. Worked far better than me remembering to turn the water back off.But then --The design is meant to fail safe. If the battery dies or whatever, the timer fails to turn on. Awesome idea.Mine however failed ON! The rubber diaphragm had a groove worn in it from the plastic seat which had a couple burrs on it, and it stuck open with the water running. I got so lucky though because I parked my car on the hose - so unlikely - and my neighbor noticed it slightly on at the wrong time of day and let me know. Given the years of good service, and hopefully unlikely to repeat, I bought the second unit.

The Rain Bird 1ZEHTMR Professional Grade Electronic Digital Hose End Timer/Controller is an excellent tool for automating garden watering, especially beneficial when you're away from home. After purchasing this device, I set it up to manage my garden's watering schedule during our vacation, and it performed flawlessly, activating and deactivating at the programmed times.User-Friendly SetupThe setup process was remarkably straightforward; I managed to configure it without consulting the instructions. The device features a large, intuitive screen that makes programming easy. I was pleasantly surprised by its affordability, allowing me to maintain daily watering without having to manually tend to the garden.Reliable PerformanceKudos to Rain Bird for creating such a reliable product. The timer effectively waters my garden each day as scheduled, ensuring that my plants receive the necessary hydration without any hassle. I highly recommend this timer for anyone looking to simplify their gardening routine while conserving water resources.

After putting batteries in and setting it for a quick cycle to see if/how it worked, I connected it first to one and then to a different hose bib. I snugged down the connector by hand until the body would no longer rotate under it's own weight, both times, then turned the hose bib on. Both times, it immediately leaked from several openings on the device housing. From the area around the connectors, as well as around the buttons to the right of the display. The timer function and valve actually worked as expected. I didn't expect a free flow of water from every little opening of the housing at all times, however. Not sure if I'll try another of this brand or not. Pretty disappointed.

This is not your typical garden hose you will find at a big box store. Indeed, the level of quality in this hose with 100% EDPM rubber is unbeatable, and hard to find except on Amazon. The high flow is due to the larger inside diameter of the hose than the common hose. This increases the volume of water. You will find the pressure with a good nozzle is extremely strong -- almost strong enough to "pressure wash" sidewalks, pool decks and more with the right nozzle. The rubber quality is exceptional, making the hose easier to handle and avoid kinks. The only drawback is the weight of the hose should you require moving the entire hose on a regular basis. Consider buying the length you will actually need to control its weight, or buy two shorter lengths instead of a heavier longer hose. This will also avoid kinks. This is a "lifetime" hose.

Ive had close to a dozen automatic water timers and have lost most from some sort of crack or leak forming over time. Usually the hose gets knocked around and puts pressure on it causing thin internal plastic parts to crack (usually near the hose or spigot connections, which are metal on this one, so Im happy with that. When I saw this one, i decided to give it a try since it’s “pro duty” and will hopefully last a little longerUpon receiving it I decided to open it up to inspect why this one is considered “pro duty”. The internals are all pretty basic with the back casing attached to the front with 5 screws. The compartment for the two AA batteries seems to seal well to keep out water. And aside from the thin wiring attached with some hot glue, nothing really alarmed me. I will say that the part that typically breaks (between the two end fittings that contains the mechanism to open and close the valves) is still plastic like others, but seems to be a little thicker plastic with four ribs on the outside (visible in pictures) to reinforce it. Aside from the metal connections and slightly reinforced plastic valve column, im not sure what all makes this pro duty though. Once reassembled, i hooked it up and there weren't any issues there. Easy to set the timers and no leaks so far. Overall the build quality seems better than most but admittedly I was hoping for a little more metal parts and reinforcement at the collars but again, it seems slightly better than most so time will tell if it’s adequate. I’ll try to update this if there are any issues in the future.
