Gilmour 857006-1001 Lcd Dual Zone Irrigation Timer

Product Description

The GILMOUR 857006-1001 is an electronic dual-zone irrigation timer with an LCD display, designed for residential outdoor watering systems. It supports two independently controlled zones, each with up to three programmable schedules, allowing six total watering cycles. The countdown display shows elapsed and remaining run time, ranging from 1 to 360 minutes per session. A built-in flow meter tracks water consumption and can trigger an alarm to alert the user of abnormal usage or potential leaks. The unit runs on battery power, making it simple to install at any spigot without routing low-voltage wiring. Licensed irrigators and knowledgeable DIYers both handle installation of this type of controller.

This timer is suited for residential landscape irrigation where two separate watering zones need independent scheduling. Common applications include splitting front-yard and back-yard drip or spray zones from a single hose bib, or managing separate garden beds on different watering frequencies. The Eco Function supports water conservation, and the Rain Delay feature lets the user pause scheduled watering without erasing programmed settings. The swivel-connect metal fitting allows the unit to mount at the spigot without tools beyond hand-tightening. ASA plastic construction resists UV exposure and impact, making it a practical choice for year-round outdoor use in varying climates.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed irrigator or experienced DIYer familiar with hose-end irrigation components. Shut off the water supply at the spigot before attaching or removing the timer. Hand-tighten the swivel-connect fitting to the spigot and verify there are no leaks before programming. Replace batteries before the battery indicator reaches low to prevent loss of programmed schedules.
