URBAN Digital Water Timer Non-Pressure, digital timer

Product detailed description

Urban Digital Water Timer Non-Pressure is a digital timer for automatic irrigation which, thanks to its ball valve construction, can also operate at very low or zero inlet pressure. It is therefore suitable not only for connection to the mains water supply, but also for gravity-fed irrigation from tanks, barrels or rainwater storage containers.

The timer allows you to set the precise start time, irrigation duration and interval between individual cycles. Once programmed, it operates fully automatically, regularly opening and closing the water supply according to the selected mode.

Main benefits

• Operation without pressure: the ball valve also allows use in low-pressure and gravity-fed irrigation systems.
• Automatic irrigation: set the start time, irrigation duration and repetition frequency.
• Irrigation duration of 1–240 minutes: allows you to adapt the water dose to a specific irrigation system.
• Flexible intervals: irrigation can be repeated every 1–12 hours or every 1–7 days.
• Manual irrigation: the water can be started immediately without changing the saved automatic programme.
• Rain Delay: temporarily pauses automatic irrigation for 24, 48 or 72 hours, for example during rainy weather.
• Clear LCD display: shows the timer settings, current status and power information.
• Low battery indication: alerts you when the batteries need replacing.

Simple programming

Using the rotary selector and control buttons, you can set the current time, irrigation start time, required irrigation duration and repetition interval step by step. When switched to AUTO mode, the timer automatically starts running the set programme.

The manual irrigation function allows you to open the valve whenever needed without cancelling the saved programme. In unfavourable weather, the Rain Delay function can be used to temporarily postpone irrigation; once the set period has elapsed, the automatic programme resumes.

Suitable for gravity-fed irrigation

Unlike conventional irrigation timers with a solenoid valve, this model does not depend on a minimum water pressure. The direct ball valve opens mechanically and allows water to flow freely, so the timer can be used, for example, between an elevated tank and a drip irrigation system. This makes it suitable for gardens, greenhouses, growing systems and irrigation from rainwater tanks.
