Nur immer im Trockenen überwintern, sonst leidet das Material und damit auch seine Funktion (Dichtungen, Uhr etc.). Review: Este temporizador no funciona correctamente. 201 m3 de agua perdidos y 737 euros de daños - Aunque este temporizador Gardena era nuevo (comprado en agosto de 2024 en desertcart.es), se averió a mediados de mayo de 2025. Fuimos informados por nuestro hombre de la piscina que la piscina se había desbordado y el agua había estado corriendo durante aproximadamente una semana. ¡Se perdieron 201 m3 de agua! Recibí una factura de Hidraqua de 738,00 euros... ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Gardena | | Colour | Brown/a | | Item weight | 220 Grams | | Material | Plastic | | Number of settings | 1 | | Product dimensions | 7.6D x 11.4W x 30.5H centimeters | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Brown/a - **Brand:** Gardena - **Material:** Plastic - **Product dimensions:** 7.6D x 11.4W x 30.5H centimeters - **Item weight:** 220 Grams ## Images ![(31169) Mechanical Water Timer with Flow Control - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61PYvLRzzAL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I need a timer that waters the veggies deeply through a hose system a few days/week while we are on vac. Will this timer allow me to do that?** A: This Gardena timer is probably the best manual timer on the market. Perfect for one watering at a time! You'll need a programmable timer, and I've tried those ones at Lowe's and Home Depot only to return them as they leaked and dripped. **Q: Can this timer be set to come on every day at same time ?** A: You manually set this timer each time you use it. I have this connected to the fill line for my pool. This lets me run the water for a specific amount of time without worrying about forgetting to shut it off. **Q: Is this manufactured in the US?** A: I believe they are manufactured in Europe. **Q: How do I use the flow control on this water timer?** A: Flow control can only used in manual mode not timed mode. Meaning, if the faucet is turned on all the way, you can use this unit to meter water instead of disconnecting it, using the faucet, then reconnecting it. But when the timer opens, it just lets the amount of water through that the faucet is set to let through. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Macht was sie soll. *by A***M on 6 May 2026* Sie macht was gewünscht.
