works well – no water hammer,
This timer works as advertised. Programming is limited but simple to do. It has a nice slow-closing valve, so there are no issues with water hammer. I had first purchased an Orbit brand timer that had more programming options, which was nice, but the valve on that one slammed shut, causing bad water hammer. I was afraid my pipes might burst. The one button I miss from the Orbit is the one that cancelled watering for 24 hours.

Hard to program,
This item works ok but you better not lose the instructions, because programming is not intuitive. Also there is no cover over the control panel, so sunlight and water exposure could be a problem. I cover mine with a piece of aluminum foil. It is valve-operated rather than the superior diaphragm type. Valve types use more battery power than the diaphragm types, and some (not necessarily this one) are short-lived.
After one year the toggle lever that opens the battery compartment broke off in my hand. Very fragile.

Low Pressure (no pressure) option for Rain barrels. Few timers work with gravity or low pressure. This one does.,
While it may not be the greatest timer out there. There are few options for running drip systems from rain barrels or gravity feed tanks. The ball valve in this timer can handle these low pressures. All timers from Orbit, Nelson and Melnor rely on the water pressure to assist in opening the valve. They may work for a few days but the batteries die quickly. The only other low pressure (or no pressure) timers are the toro and a few discontinued timers that are still floating around out there. So this timer is worth trying if you have a rain barrel. Just hold onto the sales receipt.
