Frequently asked questions

• What kind of scheduling does this Blue Bird-Altadex timer offer?

  It is an analogue timer with weekly scheduling: you set which days of the week you want it to water and the unit repeats the cycle on its own. Operation is straightforward, with no menus or complicated settings.

• What kind of growing is it designed for?

  It is aimed at automating watering in vegetable gardens, terraces and small gardens without any fuss. If you want to leave your plants looked after while you are away for a few days, it does the job perfectly.

• What kind of tap does it fit?

  It screws onto 19 mm taps, that is 3/4 inch, which is the most common size in the garden. Check the thread on your outlet before ordering to be sure it fits.

• Does it need mains power?

  No. It runs on 2 AA batteries, so you can install it at any watering point without running cables or transformers out to it.

• Does the sun end up damaging the plastic?

  Its black body has a UV-resistant treatment precisely so it can take continuous sun exposure without degrading. That matters in a unit that stays outdoors all the time.

• Is it heavy or bulky?

  It weighs just 0.282 kg, a light format that puts no strain on the tap thread. You can leave it fitted for the whole season without worrying about the weight.
