Irrigation Timer Frequently Asked Questions
Are Tap Timers Temperature and Weather Resistant?
• Irrigation timers are water-resistant however, during prolonged forecasted wet weather conditions, disconnect your timer from the tap and irrigation system and bring it indoors. This prevents saturating the internal mechanisms that affect the longevity of your tap timer. Alternatively, a timer installed in a sheltered position or with a DIY protective canopy can be left out during such conditions.
• Bring your timer into a frost/damp-proof shed or garage after the watering season has finished and before the first frost. Your timer features complex internal mechanisms and valves easily damaged by cold weather.
Can the timer be installed horizontally or on its side?
For best results, install your tap timer to the tap in a position where the outlet is facing directly towards the floor. Installing the unit horizontally, on its side or even tipping it upside-down interferes with the direction of water flow and can cause damage to the internal mechanisms.
How do I attach irrigation pipe or hose pipe to my irrigation timer?
Hosepipe Connection: HydroSure Timers arrive complete with a male outlet tap connector for a simple connection to a Garden Hose using a Hose End Connector. Use any size hose pipe and quick-click connector as the included tap connector is fully compatible.
Irrigation Pipe Connection: Most irrigation systems are built using LDPE Pipe. This is easily connected to HydroSure Tap Timers by replacing the included tap connector with a Barbed or Nut Lock Tap Connector with a ¾” female thread. HydroSure has a range of barbed/nut lock tap connectors to fit multiple pipe sizes - choose an irrigation pipe that best suits your requirements. Top Tip: HydroSure timers are compatible with Irrigation Filters and Pressure Reducers – Further customise your irrigation system by attaching it to the male threaded outlet of your timer.
