you explain that tutorial with pears and apples, thank you, finally I do understand how the timer work. I saw different tutorials and after watching them I was on point A again.
I'm in the same boat as you. Just doubled the number of raised beds and will be expanding my drip system. And I WILL be getting a timer this year. Thanks for the simple tutorial.
Awesome video! We bought several drip hoses for really cheap at an auction and I would love to use them for my new garden, great idea about the automatic timer! We have one of these for our chicken coop and works great! Good valuable video!
Thank you last year you taught me how to lay a drip system. I learned a lot playing with it this year I’m ready for the timer ! Thanks! Deb in California 🌷🌷🌷🐢🐢🐢🌻🌻🌻
Loud and clear on frequency and the time of day to do the initial setting. The one I have is different which will be perfect for the outdoor raised beds. I am going to purchase the same brand you have because the features are perfect for my green house.
I installed batteries...set as per ur instructions but it did not shut off ?? It just kept running ??? Obviously you need to keep the water on at all times. Thanks Glen
Sounds like they made these items for people going on vacation or folks just too lazy to get out in the yard to water their plants. THAT, or for the Forgetful. I however do happen to fall into EACH of the three categories. Great explanation of the item. 👍
Thank You for the great video and information. Does the timer have pipe threads or water hose threads? I'm looking for one with pipe threads. Again Thank You
i have too many questions to bother you with, but dang, that looks like it could save me many hours of manual labor when planting/watering time ever comes ;)
It looks like you still have the hose vacuum breaker (HVB) installed before the timer. I believe this is a bad idea. My understanding is HVBs are not designed to be under constant pressure (typically 12 hours max) and will almost certainly fail prematurely if so. With an automatic timer you usually leave the faucet turned on which results in the HVB being under constant pressure. The HVB should really be installed on the timer outlet so it isn't under pressure when the timer is off.
Thank u for ur video it’s very helpful but we have done everything and the timer is not working. We r wondering if our timer is bad? The batteries work but timer is not working
Thanks for this info. My hubby recently passed away, so I'm trying to take care of the garden and beautiful landscaping he left me. I wanted to test it to see if it worked at all anymore, but when I put it on "manual" nothing happens. The valve is open and the batteries are new. I thought at first the manual override wouldn't work until the auto timer kicks in, but your video indicated it would be within a few seconds. Any troubleshooting thoughts for me? Thank you!
Hi there. I just bought and haven’t yet installed this raindrip r675ct timer. I have no idea I would have wake up at 5:45 in the morning if that’s when I wanted to program it for… so, I’m waiting until tomorrow morning. But in the meantime, I was wondering if I can use manual dial today, to test that I have no leaks and everything is working properly. Then possibly take the batteries out, reinstall them at 6 AM tomorrow and program the timer at that point for automatic repetitive function. It would be great to have this question answered if you know it. Thx in advance
Yes you can run manual. In fact , running in manual doesn't affect the timer. So you don't need to remove the batteries. Just set it back to auto after you're done
Thanks for the info man! Wanted to see some information on this product before I bought it so this video helped a lot. Do you know how much rain it takes for the rain delay to kick in? I’m in an opposite situation in Florida. I have a feeling I will be wearing out the rain delay feature!
Not sure how much as far as the rain goes. Since rain is so sporadic here in So Oregon, I find myself usual the manual feature. Since I'm out there most of the day anyways, it not really a hassle. The system does work good though.
What if I change the frequency from 24hrs to 48 and I had it coming on at 6am. When I change it to 48 do I have to be sure to do the changing at 6am again?
@@Growyourheirlooms Well of course, I know what the difference between 24 and 48 hours is. Let me try to rephrase the question. So initially I set it at 6 o clock in the morning for 24hrs. Then a month later I want to change it to 48 hrs, but still come on at 6am. So when I change it do I have to change it at 6am again, or can I just simply turn it from 24 to 48 at a more convenient time for me and it still be set to come on at 6am?Another way I could put is, if it's set to come on at 6 and I was to accidentally bump the button to 48 hrs from 24 would that change the start time to the time that I accidentally bumped it up to 48? Please let me know thanks and God bless
It stinks if you put it on manual the timer don’t count down if you set it on 10 minutes you go back 5 minutes later it’s still on 10 minutes so I don’t know how much time I have left. 🤔🤦🏻♂️

Great clear technical info. just bought 2 of these timer kind. the Digital type are good but why over complicate things I recon. top video tho
Thanks. Yeah, I like these because less to go wrong.
Can this timer work indoors.I'd like to see the set-up. 👍
I'm curious if you're still using this timer or if you've found a better option.
Still using this one
Thank u for ur video it’s very helpful but we have done everything and the timer is not working. We r wondering if our timer is bad? The batteries work but timer is not working
You read the instructions completely? The water is on, the batteries are good and you've set it to automatic or manual?
Just got the same timer and I was really grateful for your video. The explanation on the official video wasn’t nearly as helpful :-)
I think you'll be pleased. Been using mine for a few years and still going strong
Thanks!
You're welcome!
I put in 2 good Duracell AA batteries, but no light shows on the front of the timer.

When you set it to manual, did you still set a length of time to have it run?
@@Growyourheirlooms Yes. I have it set to a 24 hour frequency with a 10 minute duration.
@@wpdartsy Ok set the button 2 at red. Reset and off. Then set the top one for manual duration
@@Growyourheirlooms Button 2?
@@wpdartsy sorry, bottom

Just read that a manual input is required, no sensor. Thanks again!

thanks very good device
YW
When I change the batteries do I need to reset everything?
Depends on the timer. Mine has to be reset
I’m confused on how this works. Do you turn the faucet on?
Yes, you leave the faucet on and let the timer do the work
Does the timer need to be plugged into an power outlet or does it work with just the AA batteries
Just batteries
What if I change the frequency from 24hrs to 48 and I had it coming on at 6am. When I change it to 48 do I have to be sure to do the changing at 6am again?
If you set it to 48, it will skip every other day

@@thestraitgateway Easy to test and verify, if done at 6:00 am on the correct day.
@@rafaelramos441 yeah it works without having to do at 6am again.
Do you leave the water on
Yes, all summer. The timer is what turns the water on and off for me
@@Growyourheirlooms Please...How long do your batteries last before you switch them out? Thanks
@@2Timothy3END I switch them out every spring whether they need it or not
@@Growyourheirlooms Wow Amazon has it for $30 and open box $16... Either way great deal and thanks for the Video 👍

Setting a timer on the cell phone will address this concern.
