BN LINK Outdoor Water Timer for Garden Hose, Programmable Sprinkler Timer

This sprinkler timer works great and was very easy to install on my garden hose. The programming is straightforward and the dial makes it simple to set the watering schedule. The display is clear and easy to read, and the manual watering option is very convenient when I need extra watering. It feels well built and waterproof for outdoor use. Overall, a very reliable timer that makes watering the garden much easier. Highly recommended!

The description covers all of it's features exactly. It did come with some teflon tape, but if your rubber GHT gasket is doing it's job, the water shouldn't be getting to the threads to leak. If you do get leaks, be sure the rubber gasket is in good shape or you might HAND tighten the connections a little more. Do NOT use tools to tighten as the plastic threads could break or strip. In my mindset, the teflon tape isn't necessary if installed correctly. I was able to set it up without reading the instructions (a guy thing). It does ask you to activate it or dry cycle it 3-5 times manually before applying water pressure. Don't know why other than to verify the valve can be heard to click or open. I did all of the programming and dry cycling at the kitchen table so I don't have to crouch down to see it or if the faucet is behind a bush and hard to see. Once it was all set up, I hooked it up to the hose and then to the hose bib and and did a manual cycle. It worked perfectly or as expected. Remove it during freezing temperatures drop. The "Rain Delay" feature to me is kind of bogus if you can really trust the weather forecast to delay the watering cycle from 1-3 days. If you are at home and going to manually set a rain delay, you might as well just turn it off and then back on again after you find out how much rain you actually got. If you are going to be out of town for a few days and they are forecasting rain, the feature could come in handy. The instruction manual is well written and easy to follow. As a side note, if you have it set to cycle at a particular time of day and then repeat X amount of hours later, when you do a manual water cycle it defauts the next water cycle to the beginning of the start time and NOT to the next water schedule. i.e If you have it set to cycles at 7:00 and repeat every 8 hours and you do a manual cycle, when that manual cycle is over, the next cycle time would be 7:00 the next day and not the next 8 hour repeat. I recommend this product. If I have problems later on, I'll update this review.

Well, a few days and I go out while it is supposed to be running to discover that there is water gushing from every crevice of the device. It's dark outside and while water is getting to the hose I will now check to verify if the supply cuts when it should, it explains why there was a lake of water on it this morning that I could not explain! As it stands there is a failure point, it doesn't last. So while it is easy to set up,, a few days before it fails it saddening!. Setting up was easy, setting the time and the activate and deactivate times were easy to set up and it kind of keeps accurate time, it does lose time though, it was set for 1800, each day it started a little earlier and by today it was running and the area was soaking before I walked out to discover the water gushing out everywhere from the unit.

I had a leek initially but after installing a second round washer it has stopped leaking. Overall it seems to work good and for the price you can't beat it

This is my third programmable timer. I have them on two spigots with drip irrigation. Overall I’m very satisfied with its performance. It’s easy to install, feels sturdy and waterproof, and has handled daily use through summer without any issues. Pros: Easy Programming: Once you get the hang of the interface, setting schedules is straightforward. The digital display is clear, and the buttons are responsive. Manual Mode: I really like the manual watering option – it's perfect for when I want to water a specific area without changing the main schedule. Sturdy Build: The unit feels durable and has held up well in outdoor weather. No leaks or signs of wear. Cons: Slight Learning Curve: The instructions could be clearer. It took a little trial and error to understand the scheduling logic. Limited to 1 Zone: It’s a single-outlet timer, so it’s best suited for smaller yards or gardens. Not ideal if you have a more complex irrigation setup. -my solution here was to buy a dual spigot adapter. Bottom line: It’s been dependable and well worth the price. A great option if you need a simple, weatherproof hose timer with enough features to keep your garden on track. Just give yourself a few minutes to learn the programming.

Works but, After it turned off like I set it to . It worked. I picked it up to move it and when I did it turned on by itself . It said offbut it was definitely on!. Yes I got wet. Today 2nd time too use it. It says off but was still on. I took out the batteries and then it finally stopped spraying. Not happy, I won't buy this brand or product again.

Setting it up was super easy—just pick the start time, how long you want it to run, and how often. The options are really flexible, whether you want to water every few hours or just a couple of times a week. I love the rain delay feature—it automatically pauses the schedule during wet weather, which helps save water and keeps my plants from getting overwatered. The manual mode is also really handy when I want to give the garden a quick soak without messing up the programmed settings. The large LCD screen is bright and easy to read. It shows everything clearly, including battery life, which is great for peace of mind. The overall build feels solid, and I haven’t had any leaks thanks to the built-in metal filter and tight seal.

I bought this programmable sprinkler timer to replace my old sprinkler system, and it’s been a great solution. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on a full system replacement, so this was the perfect low-cost alternative. Setup was easy—I just attached a garden hose to the timer and connected it to an oscillating sprinkler attachment, and it’s been doing the job really well. The manual and automatic modes are both intuitive, and the rain delay feature is a nice bonus to avoid overwatering. Overall, it’s a simple, waterproof solution that works exactly as advertised. Great for anyone looking for an affordable and hassle-free way to automate lawn or garden watering.
