Smart Control for Decks, Patios & Small Gardens

The Galcon Bluetooth Flip Open LCD Timer proves that full-featured irrigation control can come in a brilliantly compact package. Designed specifically for smaller setups like decks, patios, and raised beds, this hose-end timer lets you completely automate your watering schedule either directly from the built-in LCD screen or wirelessly using a smartphone app via Bluetooth. For the best performance, pair this timer with a hose thread pressure regulator and a home garden filter to protect your downstream drip lines.

Built with a sturdy, solid construction, this timer features a protective flip-open front panel that shields the display from the elements and accidental damage. The intuitive LCD display is engineered to automatically power down when not in use, significantly extending the life of your 9-volt battery. Whether you prefer the convenience of app-based programming from 14 to 90 feet away, or the simplicity of pushing buttons at the faucet, this timer ensures your plants are perfectly watered every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the flow rate range for this timer?
The flow range is between 0.5 and 5.3 gallons per minute (GPM). This makes it ideal for small decks, patios, and compact garden setups.

If you have a very large irrigation system that requires a higher flow rate, you may want to consider a high-flow timer or an inline valve setup.

How far away can I program the timer using Bluetooth?
You can program the timer from 14 to 90 feet away using your smartphone. The exact range depends on physical obstructions and your surroundings.

Thick walls or heavy foliage between your phone and the timer may slightly reduce the maximum communication distance.

What kind of battery does this Galcon timer require?
It requires one 9-volt industrial alkaline battery, which is not included. We strongly recommend using high-quality, name-brand batteries and avoiding rechargeable options.

The LCD display powers down automatically when not in use to help extend the life of your battery throughout the growing season.

Can I program the timer without a smartphone?
Yes, you can program the timer directly using the LCD screen and buttons. The flip-open front panel provides easy access for manual operation and setup.

This dual-programming capability ensures you can always manage your irrigation, even if your phone is unavailable.
