GalconBT timer

The Bluetooth connection drops as soon as I’m more than 2-3 feet away from the timer. In other words it’s a useless non feature that makes this unit an overpriced ripoff for what it can actually do. Very frustrated to have paid for this as part of the kit I ordered from dripworks.

Galcon Bluetooth Timer

I have two of these and both died during the third year of operation. Cords running to the battery fell apart on one, while the other stopped for no reason. Convenient when they worked, but connecting to the app was very iffy. I usually had to delete the app and reload. I also have a dial unit and it is still working, though it is a pain to program.

Love this timer

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.

Wonderful

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.

Satisfied

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 fine, then leaks

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.

Bluetooth lacks connectivity

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.

Good timer with some problems

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.

Unable to use bluetooth feature

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.
