The aqua control AC1 water timer is a flexible, programmable, battery powered water timer that automates watering your garden. Drip watering facilitates the slow release of water (hose pipe uses 91 litres per 10 minutes) and places water at the root, exactly where it’s needed. The Hozelock AC1 2705 is equipped with multiple features making it a versatile irrigation controller.The better your problem and question is described, the easier it is for other Hozelock owners to provide you with a good answer. Built with quality materials, the Hozelock AC1 2705 is durable, weather-resistant and suitable for use throughout the year.

The reason for chosing that one is the ability to have multiple watering periods per days right through to potentially one per week, and watering duration from a couple of minutes up.

The best time to minimise water evaporation and leaf scorch is at sunrise or sunset, but it is not always convenient to do it yourself at these times of the day. The replacement models are attempting to be more sophisticated but do not allow the same flexibility in the watering patterns.

This watering kit can be set-up in minutes and for larger areas, components can be purchased to create a bespoke watering system. The Hozelock aqua control AC1 water timer allows you to automate your watering at sunrise or sunset. The Hozelock Aqua Control AC1 Water Timer comes with a user manual that contains all the information you need to get you up and running. Water butt compatibility means this AC Plus water timer is fully compatible to be used with water butts.

I did look at dual/multiple timers but they were more than I wanted to spend and as you say, the reviews weren't great. The AC 1 Timer included in the kit, provides extensive control and flexibility to adjust watering duration, frequency and start time. This agreement is back to back with the courier and we will not be liable for any delays as per our terms. All my Hoselock connectors etc developed annoying little leaks after a relatively short period but the Gardena ones just seem a tad more robust.
