Which Watering Timer Is Right For You?
By automating your system with an appropriate watering timer, you can save time, money and minimise water wastage.
Keeping your garden looking great and well cared for can be very time consuming without the aid of a decent watering timer. It is always best to water either late in the evening or in the early morning, away from the heat of the day. |
It might be better for the garden, but how well does it fit in with your own busy schedule? Perhaps there’s a great programme on TV that you didn’t want to miss, perhaps you just have too much to do in the morning before work and you just don’t want to stand there for a couple of hours with a hose in your hand.
Water restrictions can mean that you might not be at home or available during the time that you are allowed to water. What do you do then? 
Whether it’s called a garden timer, hose timer, faucet timer, tap timer or water irrigation timer, they all serve the same purpose: to turn your hose on and off. You attach the water time to the tap and to your hose. Then you set the water timer for how long you want your water to run. All you have to do is to turn on the hose and let the water timer turn it off for you.
During periods of water restrictions remember to choose a timer system that enables your programmed watering schedule to comply with local regulations.
Automatic watering timers are convenient, especially for those who travel. If installed and programmed properly, automatic timers can save you money and help in water conservation. Dead lawn grass and plants need to be replaced if not looked after correctly, and that can be expensive.
