Save time and money with a water timer that allows you to water your lawn and garden on a recurring or automated basis. Ace carries many top-rated sprinkler timers that help you maintain healthy plant growth, while freeing you up for other activities. Read more below to discover exactly what type of water timer or monitor is right for you and your landscape.

What is a Sprinkler Timer?

A sprinkler timer, also known as a hose timer, irrigation timer or water timer, allows you to distribute water across your lawn or garden through a timing system. These irrigation timers easily connect to your garden hoses and can feature simple twist-dial operation or complex digital designs.

Types of Sprinkler Timers

There are several types of sprinkler timers you can choose from including mechanical, digital and Bluetooth timers. Below, we’ll outline the benefits of each type.

Mechanical Sprinkler Timers

A mechanical sprinkler timer uses a dial that you can set to a desired time duration for watering. Much like an egg timer, you simply turn the dial and the water will shut off when the time is up. Mechanical sprinkler timers work well with above-ground sprinklers.

Digital Sprinkler Timers

An increasingly popular option is the digital sprinkler timer. If you’re planning on watering multiple locations or would like the added benefits of enhanced customization, a digital water timer may be the ideal fit for your lawn. Many digital water timers allow for increased control of your irrigation system, letting you change the sprinkler settings based on rainfall or drought restrictions using the digital panel.

Bluetooth Sprinkler Timers

Make convenience your priority with a Bluetooth sprinkler timer. These timers allow you to adjust your sprinkler timer’s settings from your smart device. Whether you’re lounging on the couch or traveling the globe, you can easily shift your irrigation timer’s programming to accommodate a week of rain or a lengthy dry spell. You can typically set up zones as well, so you can better water different types of plants as necessary.

Benefits of Sprinkler Timers

Using a garden hose timer has many benefits, with some of the biggest advantages being:

  • Water conversation: Sprinkler timers help conserve water by reducing the chances of overwatering and shield you from any fines put in place in drought areas.
  • Less hassle: Spend your summer days the way you want without worrying about actively watering your lawn and garden.
  • Save money: Water timers are great for reducing your water bill because they only water your landscape as much as it needs to maintain its health.
  • Weed reduction: By keeping your lawn lush and healthy, irrigation timers reduce the chance for weeds to take root and spread.

How Do You Water Multiple Locations with a Water Timer?

Water hose timers are sometimes designed with multiple hookups that can accommodate numerous watering zones as needed. For larger properties, you can set up multiple irrigation timers but may require access to more than one outdoor faucet in strategic locations.
