The Galcon Flip Open LCD Timer proves that full-featured irrigation control can come in a brilliantly compact package. Designed specifically for smaller watering setups like raised garden beds, balconies, and patios, this hose-end timer lets you completely automate your watering schedule directly from the built-in LCD screen. For the best performance and longevity, we highly recommend pairing this timer with a hose thread pressure regulator and a home garden filter to protect your downstream drip irrigation lines.
Built with sturdy, solid construction, this timer features a protective flip-open front panel that shields the display and programming buttons from dirt, direct sunlight, and accidental damage. The intuitive LCD display is engineered to automatically power down when not being actively programmed, significantly extending the life of your 9-volt battery. Quick and simple to install on any standard outdoor faucet, this reliable timer ensures your plants receive consistent hydration week after week.

Get your automated watering timer running in just a few simple steps.
Step 1: Install the Battery
Open the watertight battery compartment and insert one fresh 9-volt industrial alkaline battery. Ensure the seal is secure when closing the compartment to keep moisture out.
Step 2: Attach to the Faucet
Screw the female hose thread (FHT) inlet of the timer directly onto your outdoor spigot. Hand-tighten only to avoid damaging the internal threads.
Step 3: Connect Head Assembly
Attach your water filter and pressure regulator to the male hose thread (MHT) outlet at the bottom of the timer, followed by your mainline tubing adapter.
Step 4: Program Your Schedule
Flip open the front panel to reveal the LCD screen and programming buttons. Set your current time, desired watering days, start times, and duration according to your garden's needs.
What is the flow rate range for this timer?
The flow range is between 0.5 and 5.2 gallons per minute (GPM). This makes it ideal for small garden beds, balconies, and compact irrigation 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 instead.
Does this timer connect to Bluetooth or Wi-Fi?
No, this is a standalone LCD timer that must be programmed directly using the buttons on the unit. For wireless smartphone control, consider upgrading to the Galcon Bluetooth Flip Open Timer.
The direct LCD programming is straightforward, reliable, and perfect for users who want simple, localized control without needing a smartphone app.
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 you are done programming to help extend the life of your battery throughout the entire growing season.
Can I set different run times for different start times?
No, all programmed start times on this timer will run for the exact same watering duration and on the same selected days.
For example, if you set the timer to water for 15 minutes, it will run for 15 minutes at every start time you program for that specific day.
