Description
Plan two watering zones from one tap
Set a watering routine for two areas with the Cost Wise double-outlet water timer. Zones A and B have separate cycle settings, so a lawn and a bed, or two groups of containers, can have different start times and run durations.
The display shows the selected zone, cycle, start time and duration. Programme the timer first, connect your hoses and run a short test of each zone before relying on the schedule.
Build the schedule around each area
Choose specific weekdays, or watering every second or third day. Each zone can have up to four cycles with their own start time and duration, giving eight cycle slots across the timer. A run can last from one minute to four hours.
The optional Eco function breaks watering into water and pause periods of up to 19 minutes each. Use the pauses where they suit how your soil absorbs water; test the setting rather than assuming the same routine suits every bed.
Switch to manual mode for an extra watering session. A rain delay of up to six days lets you suspend the programme when watering is not needed. Select AUTO when you want the programmed routine active.
Read the two-zone programming instructions for the complete setup sequence. Holding OK for about ten seconds changes between 12- and 24-hour clock display; it is not the programme-reset procedure.
Fit, test and store it with care
Fit two fresh AA alkaline batteries in the rear holder, following its polarity markings. Batteries are not included; the instructions specify alkaline batteries and advise against rechargeable types.
Check the listed female tap-thread sizes against your tap. The two supplied outlet adapters provide male garden quick-connect nipples for compatible female hose-end connectors. Hoses, those hose-end connectors and the tap are separate. Both zones draw from one supply, so check the available flow if their cycles overlap.
Use the timer outdoors with water pressure under 100 PSI and water at 0-38°C. It controls watering times; it does not regulate supply pressure for equipment that needs a lower pressure.
For winter or the non-watering season, turn off the tap and remove the timer. Use manual mode to open the valves and drain remaining water, remove the batteries, then dry the unit and store it in a dry place.
Questions about the two-zone timer
Are there eight cycles for each outlet?
No. The instructions provide four cycle slots for zone A and four for zone B: eight in total. Set each required cycle’s start time and run duration, then activate AUTO.
Can I water manually without waiting for the next cycle?
Yes. Manual mode lets you select the zone and watering duration. Follow the instructions to complete the manual setting, and check the programme mode afterwards if you want scheduled watering to continue.
Are batteries and hoses included?
The timer includes its two outlet quick-connect adapters and instructions. You need two AA alkaline batteries, hoses and compatible female hose-end connectors separately. Choose hose connectors to match your hose size.
Can I leave it on the tap over winter?
Remove it for the non-watering season. Turn off the tap, remove the timer, open the valves in manual mode to drain the water, remove the batteries and let the unit dry before storing it in a dry place. The stated operating water temperature is 0-38°C.

What is BSP?
What is BSP thread size?
BSP (British Standard Pipe) is a nominal pipe-thread size, not a direct measurement of a fitting’s bore or outside diameter. For example, a ½-inch BSP male thread measures about 21mm across its outer thread crests.
These figures are approximate outside diameters of male BSP threads, to help identify the nominal size. They are not inch-to-millimetre unit conversions:
- 3/8" BSP → 16.66 mm
- 1/2" BSP → 20.95 mm
- 3/4" BSP → 26.44 mm
- 1" BSP → 33.25 mm
- 1.25" BSP → 41.91 mm
- 1.5" BSP → 47.80 mm
- 2" BSP → 59.61 mm
- 3" BSP → 87.88 mm
- 4" BSP → 113.03 mm
All our BSP threads are parallel (BSPP, to ISO 228), not tapered.
Measure across the outside of a male thread, then check its pitch and whether it is parallel or tapered. Diameter alone does not confirm compatibility. Check the product’s stated thread specification before connecting.
