InArt Automatic Water Timer for Garden Tap, ABS Digital Tap Timer 99x57x105 mm, Black, Battery Operated

An automatic water timer for a garden tap helps you water plants on a fixed schedule without standing next to the tap every day. This digital tap timer fits between your outdoor tap and your hose, drip line, or sprinkler connection, then opens and closes the water flow as per the programme you set on the LCD screen. It is ideal when you want consistent watering for balcony plants, terrace gardens, lawns, or a small greenhouse setup—especially when you are busy, travelling, or simply want a more reliable routine.

With easy button control and a clear LCD display, this automatic water tap timer makes scheduling more precise than basic dial-style timers. You can set watering duration from 1 second up to 300 minutes and choose a frequency from 1 hour up to 15 days. A rain delay option lets you pause watering for 24, 48, or 72 hours to avoid overwatering during wet weather and to help reduce water wastage. Built with ABS material and an IPX5 waterproof design, it is made for outdoor use in heat, rain, and dust, and it is compatible with common Indian tap sizes (garden tap timer 1/2 inch and garden tap timer 3/4 inch).
