Take control of your irrigation system from anywhere in the world! Even if you're not at home or on holiday, this innovative Wi-Fi-enabled Timer allows you to manage garden watering using the app or voice control.
Irrigation Control From Anywhere In The World!
Please Note: The Timer must be purchased alongside a Connection Hub (not included).
Begin by pairing the Timer with your smart device or web browser using the “Homgar” app for IOS and Android.
Upon initial device setup, ensure the Connection Hub (not included) and Timer are next to each other and once installed, are permanently positioned no more than 60 metres (depending on obstacles) away.

Choose between Mist and Irrigation Mode for tailored watering based on your plant’s watering requirements. In Irrigation Mode, you can select a single start and end time to water large areas and lawns. Alternatively, you can opt for Mist Mode to maximise soak time with multiple start times and repeated watering intervals ranging from 5 seconds to 59 minutes.
For instant irrigation outside the pre-programmed watering plan, select Manual Mode to switch on temporary irrigation with a settable duration time.
Real-Time Control
Customise irrigation and change up your pre-set irrigation schedule in case of wet weather. Use the in-app controls to delay the irrigation cycle for 24, 48 or 72 hours to avoid unnecessary water wastage and protect against overwatering plants.
The Statistics section allows you to fully maximise irrigation efficiency and review daily or monthly water usage. For a thriving garden, you can also track your plant’s irrigation requirements, set the watering plan by water usage and flag any possible system errors using the built-in flow meter.
Smart Voice Control
Fully compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, this innovative Water Timer enables quick access and convenient hands-free control over garden watering without having to manually adjust the system.
Watertight Tap Connection
The Timer connection points are engineered using 30% reinforced nylon material capable of providing a watertight seal under working pressures between 0.5 to 8 Bar.
Effective Irrigation Control
Monitor irrigation progress according to soil temperature and humidity by pairing your Timer with a Soil Meter or Rain Sensor (not included). This device is designed to halt the irrigation program and protect plants from overwatering if the soil moisture level exceeds the set amount.
System Maintenance
The Timer has a working temperature between 3 to 50 degrees and must be removed from the tap and drained of any sitting water before the first frost. Store over winter indoors in a frost-proof garage or shed in an upright position.
At the end of each watering season, remove the internal filter and clean under running water ensuring the mesh and rubber seal are intact before replacing it inside the Timer.
The Water Timer is water-resistant, not water-proof. Do not submerge your Timer underwater.
Ensure the Timer is installed vertically to the tap, not horizontally or on an angle.
Do not install the Timer in an underground valve box as this will impact the Wi-Fi connection.
How long do the batteries last in an Irrigation Timer?
At the start of every watering season, install brand new good quality batteries and remove the batteries at the end of the watering season whilst the timer is in storage.
Depending on how often and for how long the watering cycles are set, the batteries should last up to 6 months without needing replacement.
You may find that batteries require replacement more often if your timer is set to water twice a day every day as this requires the timer to generate significant amounts more power to operate the internal valves.
Top Tip: Internal mechanisms that start to make a lot of noise indicate the timer requires a new set of batteries.
Are Tap Timers Temperature and Weather Resistant?
• Irrigation timers are water-resistant however, during prolonged forecasted wet weather conditions, disconnect your timer from the tap and irrigation system and bring it indoors. This prevents saturating the internal mechanisms that affect the longevity of your tap timer. Alternatively, a timer installed in a sheltered position or with a DIY protective canopy can be left out during such conditions.
• Bring your timer into a frost/damp-proof shed or garage after the watering season has finished and before the first frost. Your timer features complex internal mechanisms and valves easily damaged by cold weather.
Can the timer be installed horizontally or on its side?
For best results, install your tap timer to the tap in a position where the outlet is facing directly towards the floor. Installing the unit horizontally, on its side or even tipping it upside-down interferes with the direction of water flow and can cause damage to the internal mechanisms.
How do I know if my Irrigation Timer is working?
Most timers arrive complete with a test feature allowing you to check the unit is working. Often this requires you to turn the run time dial to the ‘ON’ position. If you can hear a buzzing noise and the LED light indicator is flashing green, the unit is working correctly.
Top Tip: Before going away on holiday, have your timer fully set up to irrigate your garden for at least a week beforehand. This will allow you to check the system is adequately watering your plants and is switching on at the required times.
How do I attach irrigation pipe or hose pipe to my irrigation timer?
Hosepipe Connection: HydroSure Timers arrive complete with a male outlet tap connector for a simple connection to a Garden Hose using a Hose End Connector. Use any size hose pipe and quick-click connector as the included tap connector is fully compatible.
Irrigation Pipe Connection: Most irrigation systems are built using LDPE Pipe. This is easily connected to HydroSure Tap Timers by replacing the included tap connector with a Barbed or Nut Lock Tap Connector with a ¾” female thread. HydroSure has a range of barbed/nut lock tap connectors to fit multiple pipe sizes - choose an irrigation pipe that best suits your requirements. Top Tip: HydroSure timers are compatible with Irrigation Filters and Pressure Reducers – Further customise your irrigation system by attaching it to the male threaded outlet of your timer.
