Summary: So far so good 2008-08-12
Comment: Although I've owned this item for over a year, I just put it into use a week ago. So far quite pleased with it.
Instructions: Like most things now-a-days the instructions are bilingual and in this case, Claber decided to cover 9 languages!!!! The english version is quite simple to follow, the programming pretty straight forward and the "daily mode"(only mode I've used so far) simple accurate and so far spot on.
Size and Construction: The size is decent (about the size of a "pop tart" box) and weight surprisingly substantial for such a small item (which is actually good since I'm quite sure it won't get blown around in a hefty breeze or torrential down-pour). The plastic housing is rather rugged and yet smooth to the touch (has already survived a fall from the roof of my wife's saturn Vue). Flip-top front cover stays open when needed and closed even after being in the line-of-fire from my sprinklers "arc" pattern.
Capabilities: I like the fact that it can control 2 lines/zones and the built-in filter I'm sure is a life savor for folks with really hard water. After reading the instructions it only took me about 5 minutes to program (3 on/off times per lines)the first time and since I've already changed the program twice since it's initial installation deleting and changing and programming new times was simple and straight to the point.
I finally put this thing to use because i had installed some new Zeon Zoysia sod and wanted to be sure it was watered properly and during it's growing cycle (early morning hours). So far it's working like a champ!!! New sod is gettig the water it needs and I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn to turn the water on - Win Win in my book!!!
I also like the quick disconnects it came with for the two lines it controls, makes it simple to take in the house or garage if I need to replace a battery or want to reprogram it out of the relentless NC summer heat.
I had also purchased a Claber rain sensor when i originally purchased the timer - it too was a breeze to install. Hasn't been put to the test yet, but perhaps once i feel comfortable that my new sod is established and I can back off the initial watering regime, I think i'll pour a cap or 2 of water in the sensor during one of the programmed cycles to see if it actually shuts it down as advertised.

Summary: Works great! Just what I needed. 2008-08-11
Comment: I recently had my lawn seeded and needed to run a sprinkler several times a day to keep it from drying out. I really didn't want to spend my day turning the hose on and off and moving the sprinkler all around. I found this timer to be just the ticket. I was able to program it to run at three separate times of the day for whatever length of time on any day I chose. I also had a large area and needed two sprinklers for adequate coverage. I found the timers easy to program for both the sprinklers and can tell they will not be hard to modify when I need to water less later. I have literally programmed it and left it without any problems. Where they attach to the tap does not leak and the quick couplers provided for the hose-ends are good quality with no leaking as well. Admittedly, I do not know how easy it would be to switch over to manual watering because I have not tried it. I have another hose I use for this and really didn't want to be bothered with having to fiddle with the timer. So, I never even read how to do it. Enough said, just to clarify... I would buy another if ever I had the need.

Summary: VERY useful 2008-08-04
Comment: Living in a very hot, dry climate makes taking time away from home during the summer a risk to my landscaping. After a terrible experience hiring someone to install drip irrigation last summer while I was gone and coming home to a backyard mess, I decided that this year I would go with my own much cheeaper make-shift plan. I got some rotating sprinklers, some short hoses to connect them and this water timer. I couldn't believe how well this water timer works! It took me a little while to get the hang of setting the timer, but once I did it was a breeze. Works as good as the installed sprinkler system in my front yard, yet was much cheaper.

Summary: claber dual hose timer 2008-06-09
Comment: I have previously purchased 4 of these things for a home we have in the mountains. The original purchase 3 or 4 yrs. ago gave up the ghost last summer and I am now replacing it with 2 additional timers. When these things work, they work flawlessly but when the display has been exposed to direct sun light the digital read out is impossible to discern and the life of the unit is short. Still cheaper than installing an underground system for the three months it is used.
