Smart Rain-Aware Garden Water Timer

Constructed from durable ABS plastic, measuring approximately 9 x 16 cm (3.54 x 6.3 in). Powered by two 1.5V AA alkaline batteries (not included), engineered for ultra-low power draw — supporting up to 10 months of uninterrupted use. Offers fully adjustable watering duration from 1 second to 99 minutes 59 seconds per activation. Designed for water pressure ranges of 0.05–0.8 MPa, compatible with standard UK 3/4" garden hoses — internal thread inlet and external thread outlet. IPX5-rated enclosure withstands outdoor exposure including rain and hose spray. Integrated inlet mesh filter captures sediment, sand and small particulates before they reach the pulse solenoid valve, preserving internal components and performance over time. The embedded rain sensor chip delivers responsive, accurate weather-aware irrigation — suspending cycles when moisture is detected, with optional manual deactivation for user-defined control. A dedicated low-power safety mode forces valve closure when battery levels fall critically low, preventing uncontrolled water release. The large, high-definition LCD screen provides immediate visual feedback of all active parameters. Child lock function adds essential usability safeguards in family-oriented outdoor spaces. Optimised for UK residential use: compact enough for balconies and patios, robust enough for full-size gardens, and calibrated for typical UK water pressure and seasonal rainfall patterns — supporting sustainable plant care across herbs, flowers, vegetables and container greenery.
