Helpful additions to the Automatic Tap Timer with Rain Sensor
This Tap Timer not only detects when it rains to prevent your irrigation system from coming on unnecessarily, but it also allows three separate watering schedules to be set up for specific days, so you can put your feet up!
This Timer is the perfect accessory for any irrigation or sprinkler system set up in your backyard. The Timer helps to conserve water and ensures you NEVER forget to water your garden again.
It is easy to use and quick to set up with interval programming options.
Features
+ Large, clear LED display screen.
+ The timer has a manual on/off watering feature, which allows you to water manually in between your set schedule.
+ Rain sensor built into the top of the timer, which will cancel your watering schedule if you are experiencing wet weather.*
+ The LED screen will turn off when not in use to prolong the battery life.
+ You can set the watering session to run for any time between 1 second and 99 minutes.
+ Watering frequency can be set from as little as every hour, up to 15 days.
Installation
Insert 2 x AA batteries (not included) by opening up the cover on the back of the unit. Once inserted, press the cover down until flush with the timer casing to ensure a watertight seal.
The Timer comes with both a 3/4" and 1" tap thread to fit any standard Australian tap. Screw directly on to the garden tap and proceed to set up.
Set up
After the batteries are inserted into the timer unit, a default screen will appear. Press the ‘SETUP/OK’ button and configure timing using the ‘PLUS (+)’ and ‘MINUS (-)’ buttons. Then, once the correct times are entered, press the ‘SETUP/OK’ button to confirm and move on to the next setting.
To turn the timer off, press and hold the 'ESC/OFF' button for 3 seconds or until 'OFF' shows up on the screen. To reactivate, press and hold the 'ESC/OFF button again.
Recommendations
*Rain sensor will only work if the Timer is out in the elements, should the Timer be sheltered from the weather, it will not work efficiently.

Product works exactly as it was described
Got this to control the watering of our garden be. It’s easy to use and set up, and works as well as promised. So far so good.
Larger size instructions would make it easier to read.. More information on setting up the timet. Lastly a photo of timer explaining all the functions of the buttons would also be helpful.
Hi Kurt, thank you for your review - this is some really great feedback and things we can do easily. Thank you for sharing, greatly appreciated. We have passed this over to our product team for review, they can make these adjustments. Kind regards, The Hoselink Team
Simple and complex to use. Meaning you can just use it manually quickly, or as I have done, hooked it up to 1 line and spurred off 3 independent lines to water the fruit trees, every second day. One less thing to think about on these 40 degree days
The product was fitted, programmed and sadly did not work. I contacted Hoselink by phone and spoke to Sara who immediately committed to supplying a replacement which I am waiting for. Great service. I believe this to be an unusual case as my previous purchases have operated perfectly.
