Raindrip Set-N-Flow Analog 3 Dial Water Timer

Analog 3-Dial Timer with 72-Hour Rain Delay for Hands-Off Watering

Remembering to turn a hose bib on and off at the right times every day is one of the easiest parts of irrigation to get wrong, especially across a vacation or a busy week. Raindrip's Set-N-Flow timer takes that off the to-do list with three simple dials for frequency, duration, and start time, plus a solenoid and diaphragm valve that handles the actual on/off switching reliably in the background.

A built-in 72-hour rain delay pauses the schedule without losing its settings when the weather does the watering for you, a timed manual override lets you run an extra cycle on demand before automatically returning to the regular program, and a low battery indicator gives advance warning before a dead battery could cause a missed watering.

Key Features & Benefits

• 3-dial analog programming — sets watering frequency, duration, and start time without a digital menu or smartphone app.
• 72-hour rain delay — pauses automatic watering for up to three days after rain without erasing the programmed schedule.
• Timed manual override — runs an on-demand watering cycle and automatically resumes the regular schedule once it ends.
• Solenoid and diaphragm valve — provides reliable, repeatable on/off control for consistent watering cycles.
• Low battery indicator — warns before the battery runs out so a watering cycle isn't missed unexpectedly.

Who Should Use This

Home gardeners, greenhouse growers, and drip irrigation users who want dependable automated watering without programming a digital controller benefit from the Set-N-Flow's straightforward dial interface. It suits anyone who travels or has an irregular schedule and needs a system that keeps watering on time regardless.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I program the three dials?

One dial sets watering frequency (how often), one sets duration (how long), and one sets start time. Turn each to the setting you want and the timer runs the combined schedule automatically without any digital menus.

What does the rain delay feature do?

The rain delay pauses automatic watering for up to 72 hours after it's triggered, which is useful after an unexpected storm. Your programmed frequency, duration, and start time settings stay intact and resume automatically once the delay period ends.

What happens after I run a manual watering cycle?

Once a timed manual cycle finishes, the timer automatically returns to and resumes your regular programmed schedule. There's no need to reset the dials after using the manual override.

What powers this timer, and how will I know when to change the battery?

The Set-N-Flow timer runs on battery power, and a low battery indicator alerts you before the charge runs out. Replacing the battery promptly when the indicator appears prevents a missed watering cycle.

Can this timer attach directly to a garden hose instead of drip tubing?

Yes, it attaches to any standard outdoor faucet and can feed a garden hose, drip tubing, or a full drip system from the same connection. That flexibility makes it useful for mixed setups that combine hand-watering hose access with an automated drip zone.
