I’m a little gunshy about watering remotely. Our Model 21005 Hose Timer had been working splendidly for years. We used it to give our garden a 10-minute squirt while on road trips many states away.
Then one day we turned it on for our usual 10-minute squirt before leaving. When we came back a few hours later it was still running!
We turned off the water supply, of course.
The Hose Timer had failed; we never got it to work properly again. This failure mode could have caused damage if we had been on a road trip and it had run for days!
