The Galcon High Flow LCD Timer (7001) delivers commercial-grade watering capacity with the straightforward reliability of standalone LCD programming. Designed for high-demand residential and commercial applications, this water-resistant timer boasts a robust built-in hydraulic latching solenoid valve capable of handling flow rates from 0.5 up to an impressive 28 gallons per minute (GPM). This makes it the perfect solution for running large sprinkler zones, extensive drip irrigation networks, roof gardens, and expansive flowerbeds. Because of the substantial build of this assembly, we strongly recommend using a high-flow hose extension to relieve physical weight from your spigot, along with a water filter to protect the internal valve from debris.
Programming is made exceptionally easy thanks to the removable LCD controller—simply pop the faceplate off, program your schedule comfortably in your hands, and snap it back onto the valve. Built to withstand challenging outdoor environments, the unit natively features 3/4" female pipe threads (FPT) but crucially includes adapters to convert it to standard female hose thread (FHT) inlet and male hose thread (MHT) outlet. With a manual override function and low battery indicator, this timer guarantees precise control over your system's hydration.

Follow these steps to safely install and program your high-flow LCD timer.
Step 1: Install the Battery
Detach the removable LCD controller from the valve body and insert one fresh 9-volt industrial alkaline battery into the rear compartment.
Step 2: Program Your Schedule
While the faceplate is detached, use the buttons to set your current time, desired start times, run duration, and watering frequency according to your garden's needs.
Step 3: Connect to Water Source
Thread the included Female Hose Thread (FHT) adapter onto your outdoor spigot (or onto a hose extension if relieving weight). Attach the timer's inlet to the adapter, ensuring the entire timer rests in a strictly horizontal position for proper valve operation.
Step 4: Reattach and Test
Snap the programmed LCD controller securely back onto the valve body and perform a manual override test to ensure water is flowing correctly through your downstream system.
What is the maximum flow rate for this Galcon timer?
The Galcon 7001 can handle a massive flow range from 0.5 up to 28 gallons per minute (GPM), making it ideal for large sprinkler zones and extensive drip systems.
This high capacity allows you to water substantially more plants on a single timer compared to standard residential hose-end timers.
Does this model connect to my smartphone?
No, this is the standalone LCD model that is programmed manually using the buttons on the removable faceplate. For wireless smartphone control, consider the Galcon Bluetooth High Flow Timer.
The direct LCD programming is highly reliable and perfect for users who prefer localized control without needing an app.
How do I install this on a standard garden faucet?
While the valve body features 3/4" female pipe threads, it includes specific adapters that convert it to a standard Female Hose Thread (FHT) inlet and Male Hose Thread (MHT) outlet.
For large, heavy setups, we also recommend using a high-flow hose extension to take the physical weight off the brass spigot on your house.
Does the timer need to be installed in a specific direction?
Yes, this timer must be installed and operated in a strictly horizontal position for the internal hydraulic valve to function properly.
Installing it vertically can cause the latching solenoid to fail or leak over time, so ensuring it sits flat is a crucial setup step.
