Tools and Hardware Reviews of Claber 8410 Aquadue Duplo Dual Outlet Digital Water TimerCustomer Review: So far so good Summary: 4 Stars
Although I've owned this item for over a year, I just put it into use a week ago. So far quite pleased with it.
Instructions: Like most things now-a-days the instructions are bilingual and in this case, Claber decided to cover 9 languages!!!! The english version is quite simple to follow, the programming pretty straight forward and the "daily mode"(only mode I've used so far) simple accurate and so far spot on.
Size and Construction: The size is decent (about the size of a "pop tart" box) and weight surprisingly substantial for such a small item (which is actually good since I'm quite sure it won't get blown around in a hefty breeze or torrential down-pour). The plastic housing is rather rugged and yet smooth to the touch (has already survived a fall from the roof of my wife's saturn Vue). Flip-top front cover stays open when needed and closed even after being in the line-of-fire from my sprinklers "arc" pattern.
Capabilities: I like the fact that it can control 2 lines/zones and the built-in filter I'm sure is a life savor for folks with really hard water. After reading the instructions it only took me about 5 minutes to program (3 on/off times per lines)the first time and since I've already changed the program twice since it's initial installation deleting and changing and programming new times was simple and straight to the point.
I finally put this thing to use because i had installed some new Zeon Zoysia sod and wanted to be sure it was watered properly and during it's growing cycle (early morning hours). So far it's working like a champ!!! New sod is gettig the water it needs and I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn to turn the water on - Win Win in my book!!!
I also like the quick disconnects it came with for the two lines it controls, makes it simple to take in the house or garage if I need to replace a battery or want to reprogram it out of the relentless NC summer heat.
I had also purchased a Claber rain sensor when i originally purchased the timer - it too was a breeze to install. Hasn't been put to the test yet, but perhaps once i feel comfortable that my new sod is established and I can back off the initial watering regime, I think i'll pour a cap or 2 of water in the sensor during one of the programmed cycles to see if it actually shuts it down as advertised.
Description of Claber 8410 Aquadue Duplo Dual Outlet Digital Water TimerThis Italian-made timer makes is easy to automatically irrigate two areas with different water requirements. The two outlets can be programmed to release water up to three times a day on any or all days of the week, for duration ranging from 1 minute to 23 hours, 59 minutes. Programs do not operate simultaneously to maintain water flow rate and the weekly program effects both lines. A manual override allows watering between cycles or pauses them without altering settings. The manual mode is preset for 15 minutes; time adjustment must be executed by hand. It has a low-battery indicator, and saves settings for 15 minutes while changing the 9v alkaline battery (not included). Built in stainless filter traps harmful contaminants and is removable for cleaning. The UV-stable ABS housing is weatherproof, and quick-connect couplings allows to remove hoses easily. Performs with water pressure of 1.5 to 174 PSI and outdoor temperature of 130°F. The solenoid valve is designed for smooth water shut off that prevents hammer impact on piping and LCD screen is UV resistant. Unit is 100% quality controlled during manufacturing process. The timer should not be exposed to freezing temperatures.
