Although I have been a fan of Hozelock for years (I have one on my large balcony for over a decade and it still works perfectly), unfortunately, this model disappointed me. 4 programs and a removable face are positives, but the batteries are AA, very weak for an electric valve, and they drain quickly, plus it broke very soon and got stuck open with brand new batteries. I reset it, but after 3 days it got stuck again and remained open, running water, so now I don't trust it and I'm looking for a replacement.

It does its job very well in a network with natural flow. You can adjust it for days of the week up to 3 times a day. Be careful, not all irrigation programmers are suitable for natural flow.
