Down and Dirty Guide to Drip Irrigation Equipment

Have two and they are easy to program and use.
I've been using this timer for years now, it works good, the app works well. You have to remember to disconnect them before it drops below freezing and store them indoors fulls drained out and remove the battery. They work and last more than one season.
We now have 3 Galcon Bluetooth timers. Once we figured out the program, we have routinely watered an array of containers and vegetable beds on schedule. Great find for senior gardeners.
I have been using these for over 10 years and I love their durability and the ease of programming the timer. I will keep on using them because the timers are the best on the market.
Worked great for a month? Having not moved it or touched it, it developed a leak where the garden hose attaches. Tried new rubber washer. Still leaks. Frustrating.
In order to use bluetooth with my Galaxy phone, I have to shut off wifi and be within 10-15 feet of timer. Not convenient.
This is my 3rd year with this timer. It works well. The Bluetooth has poor range so that if I want to skip a cycle I often have to go outside next to the timer to initiate the rain delay. If it’s cold it seems impossible to connect so you have to manually initiate the change. A battery will typically last the whole season but last year I came home to find the irrigation system running continuously, apparently for a few days. The battery dead.
Timer works well manually, but the app for Galcon has so many bugs and glitches and I have yet to be able to pair the timer with the app. I've reached out to Galcon several times with no response. This appears to be a common issue per other reviews. Wish I have purchased a different timer.
I purchased one of these before and it works wonderfully! I am expanding the farm and need a second timer that is easy to use and set up.
works nicer than I expected, the programming is efficient and flawless. :)
This full-featured battery timer is proof that good things come in small packages. Compact, solid construction and flip open front panel help protect the controller from accidental breakage.
