Automatic outdoor tap on/off valve

[machtucker]

Hi,

 

I would like to buy a set able timer for the hose. I already have two timers but they don’t do what I want. 

 

All I want to do is to be able to set a on time and an off time. So literally a valve with an on and off time. I can’t for the life of me find one. 

 

Can someone recommend an option?

 

Many thanks,

 

E

I think you want an irrigation controller/timer.

 

Something like this: https://www.waterirrigation.co.uk/hydrosure-dual-outlet-water-timer.html?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21764483469&gbraid=0AAAAADwJ71ikFu5PrtG310ZSInZ4lToPM&gclid=CjwKCAjwi-DBBhA5EiwAXOHsGUHkfWXhPFlVW-g3nBmy-gSk2gL64pksDJG4X5uN31QXBxiwYOMElBoCyNoQAvD_BwE

Good morning!

 

Yes, I already have something like that but the one I have allows a run time of 240 mins and this one looks like 120 mins. I need something that will turn on a say 7pm and turn off at 7am. Any ideas?

You will get just time the house pipe ban.

Well this is to feed a cat water spray repellent device so will only be used when they are detected, but obviously needs a supply of water available for it to work. Also, I believe drip irrigation is not included in a hose pipe ban as it is a very economical way of watering.

Not sure why you need 12 hours of watering... But there are of course controllers that are more programmable, they just cost more.

 

We did the Rainbird RC2 and ran mains power to feed it.

Use something like this...?

If you use something with smart home type capability then you will be able to define your own on/off rules based on any criteria you wish.
