Mechanical Water Timers
Two hour mechanical tap timers in single outlet and three way versions with a soft coated dial
The Complete Water Timers Range
A mechanical timer is the cheapest way to stop a customer flooding their lawn. No battery, no app, no programming. You turn the dial to the number of minutes you want and it shuts the water off by itself. It is a reliable impulse purchase next to the sprinklers, and it is the product that makes an unattended sprinkler safe to sell.
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Customers who leave a sprinkler running and are then afraid to use it again
- Battery powered timers that fail outdoors and get returned
- Sprinkler sales that stall because there is no simple shut off next to them
- Households that want to water two zones from one outdoor tap
Why This Range Is Built This Way
- Mechanical two hour movement with no battery to fail or replace
- Three way version splits one tap between two lines and the timer
- Soft coated dial versions for the higher price point
- Double blister packing with 24 pieces per carton
Buyers This Family Is Built For
- Garden retailers cross merchandising with the sprinkler wall

- Distributors supplying allotment and community garden customers
Application Scenarios
- Timed lawn watering with an oscillating or impulse sprinkler

- Holiday watering for container gardens

Water Timers Questions Buyers Ask
Do these timers need a battery?
No. They are mechanical. You turn the dial to the running time you want and the movement closes the valve when it reaches zero.
How long do they run for?
Up to two hours. That is the full range of the dial on all three models in this family.
What does the three way timer do?
It combines a two way tap split with the timer body, so one outdoor tap can feed a timed sprinkler line and a second untimed outlet at the same time.
How are the timers packed?
In a double blister, 24 pieces per carton, in a 65 x 30 x 24 cm carton at 0.041 to 0.047 CBM depending on the model.
Will the timer fit our taps?
The timers are built for standard domestic outdoor tap threads and pair with the tap adaptors in our hose fitting family. Send a photo of the tap you are designing around and we will confirm before you order.
