I have had a few of these burn out on me from using the dehumidifier into a sink with this pump attached. The vendor that I purchased from has been excellent in replacing the faulty units. After several replacements, I stopped keeping it on the automatic switch and just plug/unplug the unit each day. In my opinion, the sensor unit cannot handle the load. Hope this helps.

I have had many electronics' problems with Melnor "battery watering units" over more than 10 years. Finally switched to Orbit 62061N-91213 Single-Dial Water Timer. I'm on my second year with it and still OK.

The unit has flow control to limit GPM (gallons per minute) flow. Depending on whether your previous unit had flow control it may reduce how much water is flowing compared to previous unit. Many municipalities have a GPM requirement now. Whether this piece can be removed from unit is unclear.

The other answers are incorrect. This unit turns itself on and off every couple of minutes to sense the water. because of this they burn themselves out after 3-4 years I am now on my 3rd one after 6 years.

The timer lets you shut hot water flow when not needed. I have had 3 Laing and they all went bad within a year. I would look into another product. Amazon replaced the first two then refunded my money the third time. Great service.

Yes, this Timer will work for you. You can select which day you would like to water individually.

For water, you could use this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Web-Based-Water-Metering-with-ioBridge/

While there are no speed settings, you can put a ball valve on the output. Doing this will give you flow control. Never restrict the input.

It has a dial for up to 120 minutes...turn the water on and set dial for what amount of time you want the water to run...at the chosen time the unit will shut off the water flow...the dial needs to be set every time you want the water to run...it is not capable of setting a time of day to turn on, that is done by you each time you want to water the grass or whatever...

My unit has two channels to heat the water. This is my second unit. After a few minutes the max temp drops and comes back for brief periods. I believe the electronic control is doing a poor job of output temp control and is dropping one of the heaters off.Bosch and other brands using the same unit, is poor quality unit and I would not buy again. I do not know who makes a better unit. The cost to put a unit in and then swap it out is very high. Both of my units did not work well. I once had a gas powered unit from Japan and it was perfect.Cheers, roy

You turn on the water, and it will mist continuously until you turn the water off. If you added a digital timer, you could do intervals.

Late response to old question, but if anyone is still interested in also monitoring water and/or gas metering, check out Brultech and in particular their GEM product.

Margaret, I don't believe this can change the flow rate of the water that passes through it. It's just a mechanical timer that you wind up which opens the Gardena valve and allows the water to flow through it. When the timer ends, it mechanically shuts off the water. I think any flow (rate) control would come from adjustments to the faucet handle. Hope this helps. Tom

This is not what you need. This timer lets you manually set a duration to water.

No the manual connection on the left is controlled by a lever. The black strip on the left side of the timer is a lever. You pull it towards you to turn on the water flow from the left connector. To turn it off you push it down until it is flush with the body as show in the picture. You can control the flow of water by pulling the lever up part way.
