Claber 8410 Aquadue Duplo Dual Hose Water Timer Reviews

More Picture

I thought this was a little expensive for a sprinkler timer, but it seemed to have the most good reviews so I figured I'd try it. It is made of all plastic. It isn't excessively heavy. If it were made of metal it would be. I opened it and plugged in a 9V battery and had the thing programmed in about 10 minutes. Not difficult if you read the directions. I had it hooked up to two sprinklers in about another 15 minutes and it was ready to go. It has been watering as instructed for three days now with no problems. I had another timer that had a valve that closed very abruptly and created a significant water hammer in the pipes in the crawlspace. Not good. This Claber timer does not cause water hammer. It has slow close valves. Here are some thoughts on this product:br /br /1. It's kind of tall. If your spicket is close to the ground, then it might be difficult to attach this to the spicket and then attach the hoses to the bottom. I had just enough clearance between the ground and the sill cock to fit in this timer. I could have always not used the plastic quick connects for an extra inch of clearance I guess.br /br /2. The quick connects are made of plastic. I have never been a fan of plastic quick connects. These are probably the highest quality plastic quick connects that I have ever seen, but I still prefer brass. It would be nice if Claber included an extra end or two to go on the hose so that you can hook in a hose with a handspray if you have two sprinkler zones set up.br /br /3. As for the time programs, you should note that it will only water three distinct time periods per zone (for a total of six). So if you wanted to run only one line six time a day, you have to rig up some sort of siamese connection to connect one hose to both outlets. I don't think this is clear enough in the product description.br /br /4. Manual mode is easy enough to engage. It automatically goes back to timer mode after 15 min (not adjustable).br /br /5. I do have some concerns about the long-term water-resistance of the housing. There's no gasket between the front and the back and it's not a super tight fit....br /br /So, to summarize: expensive, but possibly worth it. I'll report back next year on how it is holding up.

Over priced for usage - J. M. Kisinger -
I purchase the Claber 8410 because I need to water two sides of my lawn at two times. It does handle two hoses, but, can only be set for one watering schedule for both hoses. The written instructions are confusing, but, once you've sorted out the meanings the actually set up is easy. I was never able to get it to run on anything other than a 24 hour clock. It worked great for one and half seasons then died. Had this been priced in the range it would have been decent. As is I really would suggest you look for something different unless you Must use a two hose timer.

Excellent Dual Hose Water Timer - Enrique A. Cordero - Tampa, Florida
Iwould recommend this product to anyone. It not only does its job but it does it well. Unlike what some people claim, the Claber is NOT hard to program. The only difficulty some may encounter is that it uses military time which is based on a 23 hour clock (not a hard concept to grasp). We had tried other timers but they all failed within a short period of time. This one is a keeper.br /br /
