HOZELOCK - Watering Timer Sensor Controller : Automatic and Easy Watering With Its Light Sensor, Daily Watering At Sunrise And/or Sunset, Manual Watering Function [2212 0000]

Had the previous model that worked well, but this model is even better.

Worked well in the first two years. At year 3, it seemed totally dead. But after cleaning up the battery connectors with wire wool, it seems to be working again.

Why the categories in the review have Warmth and Sherness is beyond me, back to the product.....the instructions were very confusing....had to phone hozelock ( I have fitted IKEA furniture so no stranger to confusing instructions 😭 the Hozelock support lady simply read the instructions over the phone, didn’t help at all, then she found some alternate instructions and eventually, between us we discovered how to set it up. There are 3 zones, the top left grey one is if you want water in the morning ONLY and set a time 2-60 minutes ( wish there was a 40 minutes setting ) the Right hand grey zone is if you want watering in the Evening ONLY again 2-60 minutes, the BLUE zone at the bottom is if you want watering Morning PLUS evening again 2-60 minutes.....there is an instant on water button, which I think is 60 minutes ( not sure yet ) also Hozelock told me pressing this resets the timer.....not sure what exactly it can reset ? Hopefully it resumes dawn dusk operation after the instant time has ended.....pressing and holding the instant on button gives a battery level indication.....green for ok and red for not ok......hope that helps...will update when I see if it actually works. The manual says something about not starting a cycle for 24 hours, not sure if that’s true or not, but can’t see why......looks well made and with a 2 year guarantee.....added a small piece of plastic pipe to insulate transmitted noise through the wall....

Have mine setup up with a pot watering system and a garden sprinkler via a Hozelock Multitap fitting, effectively covering my whole garden.Easy to use with diagrams on the timer.Either have it turn on for1) xx minutes at sunrise or2) xx minutes at sunset or3) xx minutes at sunrise AND sunsetYou also have an instant turn on / off button if you need water right there and then.Found it robust and very reliable and I don't have to manually water my garden at all. Brilliant

Actual hozelock products of this type seem to outlast some cheaper alternatives. This is the cheapest hozelock seem to do. It's also probably the easiest to set the timer on. As it only waters at daybreak and sunset. It's just the duration that you can alter. Good if you just want up to 2 waters per day. Upgrade to another unit if you need more than 2.

Only last a year really to much money 💰

I have bought one of these before that worked fine but this one must be faulty. Batteries only last about two days and it stops working. The sensor seems to be broken and it only waters when you manually over-ride it. I have to say this is the worst timer I ever bought.

With the recent hot weather we were rather concerned about our large grassed areaWe have fitted this timer to our outside tap along with a sprinklerIt’s secure and the timer works wellNo leaking and has kept the grass in good shapeGreat to use early mornings and late at night on a regular timed basis as well
