Pros & Cons
Pros
The timer seems durable, has a clear screen display and it has 3 modes, auto/manual/rain-delay. Comes with support bracket and clear instructions for installation as this unit is heavy. The timer itself is quality plastic housing that appears to be st... Read More
Installation is straightforward, and the timer comes with clear instructions, ensuring hassle-free setup. Was a little hard to finalize the set up.
Qr code on the inside cover of the user manual navigates to a website where you can download an electronic copy of the manual. There’s also a quick scan to an instructional video, in the pamphlet included. It is important to read the manual first. You... Read More
The restmo 4 zone water timer is huge. There are 4-zones that can be programmed separately as needed. The lcd screen has very intuitive programming for the different zones.
Cons
Used for maybe one (1) month, then disconnected from water tap. When i put this valve on my outdoor faucet, my sprinkler now only covers about a half of my lawn. Useless to me.
Highlights
Quality
Solid construction, definitely waterproof, and i suspect it will last a very long time.
The pure brass inlet ensures a secure and leak-free connection to my garden hose, while the sturdy construction of the timer it... Read More
It worked for about a week then failed to operate.
I found that there were very slow leaks (a drip every 5-10 seconds) from the zones that did not have hoses connected.
Price
You really can't beat the price ($31 on sale).
This one meets the basic need at a very good price.
99 with no discount/coupon currently being offered by the seller at this time.
Priced at $100 minus $5, expensive, but covering 4 zones.
Shipping
The unit arrived well packaged with a quick start guide and user manual.
The timer arrived within a few days.
Ordered the timer 3 weeks ago, it arrived the next day, and have been using it ever since then.
Packaging/appearance
It comes in a nice illustrated box, great gift for your gardener of the pack.
I included a picture of the back of the unit to show the opening and the battery housing that comes out.
Competitiveness
) a small discount/coupon would still be appreciated to help set this one apart from the competition.
This looks and operates very similar/the same to another i received on amazon.

Im not sure about the product images showing inground sprinklers that would be a very strange setup to have and inground system running off 4 hose bibs

I suppose a system could be set up this way but its not typically how inground sprinklers are done

While i find it effective i wish it had more options especially the ability to schedule watering during specific times and then turn off during the night

Unfortunately this feature is lacking

Another drawback is when setting up timed watering it requires inputting the duration in hours

Initially i had it starting at 7 am going every 18 hours but after realizing it was running at odd times i adjusted it to water every 24 hrs

Its a pretty large unit for a water controller

The weatherproofing of the battery compartment is done by a rubber oring around the battery tray
