Never over water again or worry about turn on watering or not. Simply program the digital water meter: one for cycle time and one for water time. For example, watering twice a day, one on 7:00am and one on 6:00pm, and water 30 min each time. Just setup set the timer to 12 hours and water time to 30 min at 7 am or 6 pm at first time. It will automatically water same way every day after. It will work with any type water device. Very easy to install, simply screw 3/4" female inlet end of a timer to your water faucet and quick plug or screw 3/4" male outlet end to your garden hose.
