The Gilmour Mechanical Water Timer measures gallons or approximate minutes. The dial can be set for automatic
shut-off at any point up to 1,400 gallons or 4-1/2 hours.
There are no batteries, LCD readouts or operating
manual. Simply line up the tab at the top with either 'off' or 'on', for
either metered gallons (inner ring of numbers) or metered time
(outer ring) and turn on the hose.
Includes
manual on and off settings. Slow shut-off feature protects hose and
plumbing from damage. Attaches to faucet, hose, or sprinkler. Swivel
nut for easy connection.
Minimum flow rate is 2 GPM for proper
operation. Flow rate varies with water source and sprinkler used. Works
with water pressure ranging from 15 PSI to 120 PSI. May not work with
small drip irrigation systems. Not for use with hot water.
Watering Tips: For best watering results, it is best to soak to at least 6 inches deep. Porous sandy soils require smaller amounts of water frequently. Heavy, clay soils should be watered longer, but less often. Normally, apply 1/2" to 1" for clay soil and only 1/4" to 1/2" for sandy soil.
