Hose Timers: 5 Fast Facts

Fact #1. Water is a precious resource. As any Californian can tell you, conserving water is a worthy cause. If you're growing a garden or a lawn, it's your responsibility to do it in the most efficient way possible. A hose timer can ensure that you're watering your lawn just the amount it needs, and not a drop more.
Fact #2. Sprinkler systems are expensive. You need to pay for the labor of getting it installed. And if anything goes wrong, chances are you won't be able to fix the problem without hiring a repairman. Attaching your hose to a rotating sprinkler and a timer can create the same effect, without all the hassle.
Fact #3. Consider the number of valves you'll need. Few of these devices allow you to control more than three valves at once. So if you have a large property, or a garden that requites intricate watering, you might need to consider getting multiple hose timers. This will give you the control and adaptability you need to help your plants flourish.
Fact #4. All standard units can be simple screwed onto a standard outdoor spigot. Make sure the threads of the spigot and the timer are clean and in good shape before attaching the timer. Poor threads and a bad connection will result in leaking, which wastes water. You can use a bit of Teflon tape to improve the seal between the threads, if need be.
Fact #5. There are both analog and electric models available. Analog versions are affordable and simple. But they do require in-person interaction each time you want to use them. Electric timers can be programmed ahead of time. They make it easy to change the frequency of watering, or to set a rain delay if the weather decides to water the lawn for you.
