Questions & Answers

Is it possible to program this to spray for one minute every five minutes? Thank you for your help in keeping the birds out of my yard. ?

Raindrip R675CT, on the other hand, can be set to run for as little as 3 minutes every hour. There are electronic timers that operate on 120VAC (Nearpow NP-120). You'll need a 120VAC valve (or a 12v valve and transformer) to control the water flow.

Is there anyone who knows what the minimum psi is? I'd like to use a rain barrel with this. ?

According to the instructions, it should only be used with a maximum pressure of 60 psi. So anything less than that would most likely suffice. My house is kept at a constant temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit. It also appears to work well at higher pressures, such as 80 psi.

Is the pressure flow good enough to use a sprinkler for a large grass area, and how much water pressure restriction is there with this?

I didn't notice any. I used a single unit to run several sprinklers for a large yard, and there was some water, but no more than there would have been without it. When I ran one through the unit, there was not a single drop.

Is it possible to use this instead of a more basic timer on a water pipe that is used to refill a pool? Every few days, I'd like it to come on for 5 minutes. ?

This can be used anywhere a standard hose can be used, but it must be screwed on to the outlet. If the water supply you're referring to is a pipe that only fills the pool, I'd check with a pool supply company first because that type of water supply may not allow anything to be screwed on to it.

Selected User Reviews For Nelson 56607 Timer with LCD Screen, Large

I purchased this item on Amazon in July of 2015, and the company does not stand behind it
3/5

It had a 24-month warranty, according to the manufacturer. For nearly a year, it worked flawlessly. We returned home from vacation a little less than a year ago to find our yard (and the yards of our neighbors) flooded. It's especially bad because we're running out of water in California due to the drought. The shut-off mechanism did not appear to completely close at the end of each cycle. br>br>I sent Nelson a message through their customer service department, but I never received a response. As a result of this, the review was negative. Products do break down, but when a company ignores its customers and breaches its warranty contract, the public has a right to know before making a decision. In the same industry, there are trustworthy businesses.

As if it were a sieve, it leaks like crazy
3/5

This is my second attempt at constructing a unit. I'm not sure what kind of metal they used on the upper connection point, but it corrodes quickly and leaks a lot when it's turned off, no matter how tight you tighten it. Regrettably, this is true. Otherwise, it's a lovely design, with excellent programming and features. I'm afraid I won't be able to afford to fix all of the leaks. Water running down the back of the controller, over the battery compartment, and possibly into the controller can't be good for it either.

Now it's been four years
5/5

In March of 2017, I purchased this water timer, which has served me well for the past four years. It was controlling the water delivery to a 12-fruit tree "orchard" for the entire time that I had it in use. It's been through a lot of different things. Heat waves of over 100 degrees Fahrenheit and single digit frosts are common during the day. It has cycled 1 to 5 times per week since being purchased, depending on the season. I'm on my third set of batteries, and they're all fully charged. When I dismantled it, everything appeared to be in working order. The baffle appears to have malfunctioned in some way. The only flaw is that I had to pay $25 for it. In 2017, I was 28 years old. $32. 45 now. About 6. Annual inflation of 5% % You will not be sorry if you purchase this product and have the same experience as me.

This is a dependable piece of equipment
5/5

My most recent Nelson Timer has been in service for three years. The older one is still alive and well. br>br>For fun, I looked up the reviews on (fakespot (dot) com. This product's reviews appear to be extremely trustworthy. br>br>Now it's time to talk about how this product works, and so far there haven't been any issues. It's a breeze to set up. In the sun, it doesn't deteriorate. However, I would recommend rotating the face away from the sun or simply covering the readout with a cover. There's no need to be concerned. br>br>One of the useful features of this timer is the ability to press a button once (or several times) to stop the timer from running at the next scheduled time or multiple times. Is it possible that it will rain? You don't want to waste water, do you? Toggle the switch. br>br>Over the course of each season, the batteries appear to lose very little capacity. They'd be good for two seasons at the most. Who, on the other hand, wants to risk it? br>br>I have to give this product a 5-star rating from my point of view. Stars.

I work as an irrigation technician for a living
5/5

I've installed commercial irrigation systems and have a lot of experience with it. This is the best hose bib timer available! Both the Rainbird and the Hunter brands are superior. It's bulletproof! Use Teflon tape and a two-way splitter to keep your garden hose in place and avoid having to remove this. If water freezes in this, it will break, so remove it before winter.

It works perfectly
5/5

I was going out of town for about two weeks and had no one to water my vegetable garden while I was gone. This was a fantastic solution. I bought it a week before I left town and was able to try it out before I left. Programming is a breeze, and execution is flawless. My first test run resulted in some leaking near the faucet where the device was connected. I disconnected and reconnected several times to make sure I had a good fit - and everything was in a tight squeeze Following that, there will be some testing. There will be no leaks. As it turned on and off, there was no clanking or banging of the pipes. When I returned from my trip, my garden was in great shape - As a result, I'm content.

VERY SHORT LIFE TIME, AND INACCURATE WARRANTY INFORMATION
3/5

I bought this timer in October 2020, but we didn't start using it until April 2021 because we live in Wisconsin. The unit functioned normally until August, when it lost the ability to open its internal valve. Information on the warranty (two-year) Robert Bosch Tool Corporation should be contacted, according to the manufacturer's warranty. When I finally got through to someone there via text, they said they had nothing to do with Nelson timers and that I should contact Fiskars. Fiskars informed me that they do not take phone calls and that I should contact them via email instead. I've been told that the resolution will take 15 to 20 days. We'll have to wait and see.

It's great until it's not - Expect a flood if this happens
3/5

This was an excellent purchase for the first two months, when it performed consistently and predictably (after all, isn't that why you buy an irrigation timer?). It all went out the window yesterday, though, when I walked outside to find a completely flooded yard and the water still running after about 4 hours of uncontrolled irrigation. br>br>The main problem is that if (or when) this product fails, it does so by leaving the water running rather than turning it off. It's a good thing I was home to turn it off, because it could have continued to run for days. I bought it to save water during the drought in California, but I've ended up wasting hundreds of gallons (I'm not looking forward to my next water bill). This time, I'm not going to put my faith in it!.
