Claber 8410 Aquadue Duplo Dual Hose Water Timer Review

I bought this unit to water two zones of crops. I had not seen any other timers that had dual outputs, and would much prefer the integration of having to only program one unit.This unit did the trick.

I was pleased at the quality construction of the unit.The hose thread went on easily to my spigot with no leaks.I have very strong water pressure of 120psi and this unit is rated to 150psi so no problem there. There are quick releases for the lower portion, which again, is wonderful since you don't have to contort you hand to get on the hoses.

The unit is heavy, so you want to ensure your spigot portion is well supported.failure to support your unit could cause issues down the road.In my case, I had the orbit 4-port manifold attached, and this has a metal frame bracket exactly to do this purpose.

The timer itself has 6 settings, however only 3 can be used for each line.So if you have more than 3x/day water for your zone, this is not the unit for you!Fortunately I only needed 2x a day for each zone.It was a little complex at first to figure out how to program but didn't take long to master.Note the LCD does NOT detach from the housing, at least not easily.

Unit is powered by a 9V battery which supposedly will last a year. I tested by removing the 9V and replacing quickly -- the settings WERE retained, which is a blessing so you don't have to worry about reprogramming each time you put new batteries in.

The unit has a rain-gauge port and I did purchase the rain gauge unit as well.It hasn't rained so I cannot attest to the effectiveness but it was easy to install.

You might also want to know that the valves are smooth turning rather than abrupt -- this means the water cuts off slowly rather than slams the valve shut immediately.Extremely important factor for old homes with piping that hammers when the water valve suddenly closes. Very nice!

Overall, I'm pleased with the unit. It would've been nice if the LCD detached, but other than that I'm happy with it.
