ProFix Mechanical Tap Timer

What it is for

A timer is the cheapest way to keep a garden alive through a hot spell, and the differences that matter are mechanical rather than electronic: whether the valve is a proper solenoid or a plastic paddle, whether the housing is sealed against the weather, and whether the manual override works with wet hands.

This listing is the Mechanical Tap Timer, in ABS plastic, with G1/2 / G3/4 threads for standard UK and EU taps and a working pressure of 6 bar. A tap timer is only as good as the pressure behind it — below about one bar the valve may not close fully, so check the run of the system before relying on it unattended.
