About Product Overview

Running eight zones off one controller means fewer compromises on where sprinklers and drip lines go, and this Rain Bird timer is built to handle that load from a single wall-mounted unit. It runs on standard 120V AC power but keeps a battery backup on hand, so a power blip doesn't wipe out your programming or leave zones unwatered.

The digital display and three separate programs give you room to set different schedules for turf, beds, and drip zones without juggling one generic cycle for the whole yard. Automatic rain delay skips watering after a storm so you're not running sprinklers into already-soaked ground, and the system is expandable if your irrigation footprint grows. It's a solid fit for homeowners managing a multi-zone yard who want set-it-and-forget-it reliability without paying for smart-home extras they won't use.

  • 8 zones from one controller
  • 3 independent programs with digital display
  • AC-powered with battery backup for power outages
  • Automatic rain delay
  • Expandable design
  • Boxed, white housing; weighs 3.4 lbs

Go ahead. Check.

You're going to open the other tab. Everybody does. We'd rather say so than pretend otherwise — so open it. We'll wait.

When you're over there, check four things before you click buy.

01

Who's actually selling it

The brand name is on the listing. A different company is in the seller field. Those aren't the same thing, and the second one is who you're buying from.

02

Whether the warranty survives

Most manufacturers only honor a warranty when the unit came through an authorized dealer. We're authorized for Rain Bird. A third-party marketplace seller usually isn't.

03

Where the box came from

Gray-market stock, returns repackaged as new, and outright fakes move through marketplaces constantly. It all looks identical in the photo. It stops looking identical when it fails.

04

Who you call when it breaks

Ours is a phone number with a person behind it who has held this product. M–F, 6 AM – 5 PM Pacific. (866) 469-8556

We're not always the cheapest.

Sometimes you'll find it for less. Sometimes you'll find it for more. On a lot of brands the number is identical everywhere it's sold legitimately — the manufacturer sets a minimum advertised price and every authorized dealer holds it. When a price sits well under that, it's worth asking why before it's worth celebrating.

Shop Local · Support Independent

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.
