[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Aqua Joe products. I have several different ones. The AQUA JOE - Zone Electronic Water Timer is great. The battery compartment was difficult to open. The hose and spigot attached very easily. I love this little timer! It helps those of us who forget things!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is so handy for your sprinklers! I used to have to set a timer on my phone to run my sprinkler for 15 mins and then move it to another part of the yard and run it for another 15 mins and do this over and over. This has helped eliminate for me to have to do that. Thing this is great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this automatic timer in just in time for gardening season! Our last one wouldn't hold up to the weather so I'm really hoping this one does! I like the fact I can hook up 2 hoses and still have the timer set foe the garden without messing it up!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Aqua Joe 2-Zone Electronic Water Timer takes water from one faucet and allows that water to be provided to two different locations (two hoses required) or two separate starting times with the dual timers. The timer runs on 2 AA batteries, so you will have to watch the battery capacity marker on the digital front display. Setting up the timer is very easy. Install 2 batteries, close the battery door all the way, to make sure the seal on the door closes, so no water enters the battery compartment. Set the current time using the + and - buttons. Press the "water drop" button to set the watering frequency. There are 7 possible settings for watering frequency (1= once a day, 2= once every two days, etc.) Then you get to set the water cycle on the preset time dials for each timer setting. Then turn on the water, and the water will start flowing when the correct time is reached on each of the timer settings. This is an easy to use timer with various presets, yet I would like more flexibility with the intervals and time settings, so it fits my schedule for watering, and the manufacturer's determined settings. What if I don't want to water at 6am, 7am, 6pm or 7pm? And what if I want to water the same location three times per day for 5 minutes, instead of the 15, 30 or 60 minute presets? There is little flexibility on intervals and time settings, which is why I took off one star from my review. Overall, it appears to be a solidly made and easy to program timer. I would just like more flexibility instead of 13 factory presets.
Would not work in manual mode on ether station and only worked one time on station B Don't waste your money.

There is a frequency button, that appears to apply to both connections (so not independent). According to instructions, this frequency determines which days the schedule on the dial is applied. In other words, the settings on the dial are applied every 1 day, every 2 days, every 3 days, etc. The schedule can either be once a day in AM or twice a day in AM and PM. Putting this together, both connections will have the same day schedule. They can be watered either once or twice a day. Putting this together, how do you water "up to 12 times per day"? What am I missing?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use and makes my life easier. I can set it to start watering early in the morning so I don’t have to get out of bed to turn on the hose manually. I also like that I can leave the house while part of the lawn is being watered and I don’t have to come home to turn it off. Also helpful for all those times when I would forget I had the sprinkler running and wouldn’t turn it off for hours. It does need 2 AA batteries. This sprinkler timer takes a lot of the work out of having to live without a sprinkler system.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only has 4 times to use: 6am or 7am or 6pm or 7pm. And limited time settings at 15-, 30- and 60-minutes. You can change the time, by simply setting it to the "wrong" time. On a positive note, it works great and goes off exactly when set.
