About Product Overview

The Rain Bird Electric Hose End Timer turns any single outdoor spigot into an automated watering station, no irrigation valves or wiring required. Screw it onto a hose bib, hook up a garden hose, soaker hose, or drip line, and set your schedule from the digital display. With two programs and two start times per program, you can water a flower bed in the morning and a vegetable patch in the evening without touching the dial again.

Battery power (with backup) keeps your schedule intact even if the battery needs changing, and computer software compatibility gives you an easy way to set programs if you'd rather not fuss with buttons. An automatic rain delay function lets you skip a cycle after a storm so you're not watering ground that's already soaked. It's built for one zone, so it's best suited to a single hose run rather than a multi-zone yard, but for patio containers, garden beds, or a standalone drip system, it's a straightforward way to stop worrying about turning the hose on and off yourself.

  • 1 zone, 2 programs, 2 start times per program
  • Battery-powered operation with battery backup
  • Digital display for easy programming
  • Drip and soaker hose compatible
  • Automatic rain delay skips unnecessary cycles
  • Computer software compatibility for program setup

Price check

Go ahead. Check.

You're going to price-check us against Amazon, Home Depot, and Lowe's. Everybody does. Good — open all three tabs. We'll wait. Then look hard at what you're actually being handed over there.

On Amazon, start with these four questions 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

The big boxes don't care if your hardware store survives.

Amazon, Home Depot, and Lowe's are built to pull every hardware dollar out of your town. When the local shop can't keep the lights on, the counter where somebody actually knew which part you needed goes with it. We're built the other way: real brands so you're never stuck on a marketplace, and a straight answer to buy it down the street when that's the better call. Support independent hardware — it doesn't restock itself.

Why we tell you to shop local

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.
