Aqua Joe 2-Zone Watering Controller, Customizable Programs, Scheduled Programming

Easy to program. Like it alot

I enjoy having the ability to program two different hoses and for different times and for varying lengths of time.

Works slick and dependable. The best timer I've ever had. Worth every penny!

[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.

Seems to work properly, which is good. But it has VERY limited options for timing and duration, which makes its effectiveness probamatic for me

In the description it says it can water up to 12 times a day for 7 days. We could only get it to do 4 times a day(2 for each side)

the timer won't work for mw. It has ONLY pre-set times none of which are late at night. Watering during daylight here is wasteful and that's all that's available with this timer.

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?

No water pressure when two hoses are hooked up. Very little water pressure when one hose is hooked up and the other side is turned off. Water is on full blast. Does not work for a garden.

Very disappointed! The "programmable" ability is a joke! There are only 13 preset times/durations to choose from: 4 times (6AM, 7AM, 6PM
