RAINPOINT 2-Zone Sprinkler Timer for Garden Hose — Blue, Brass Inlet/Outlet, Rain Delay & Manual Watering

RAINPOINT 2 Zone Sprinkler Timer is a dual-outlet hose irrigation controller with brass inlet and outlet that automates two watering zones with manual override and rain-delay options.

Designed for homeowners who want reliable, easy-to-install automated watering for lawns, flower beds, vegetable gardens, or container plants, this controller combines durable brass fittings with flexible scheduling. The unit supports independent programs for two zones, offers a wide range of duration and frequency settings, and includes built-in rain delay and manual watering without wiping out your saved schedules—so you can conserve water and keep landscapes healthy without daily attention.

How do I set watering frequency and duration for each zone?

Programming the RAINPOINT 2 Zone Sprinkler Timer is straightforward: choose how often each zone runs and how long each run lasts. Frequency options range from every hour up to every seventh day, and run times span 1 to 240 minutes, giving fine control from short drip cycles to long sprinkler sessions.

• Frequency: every 1 hour to every 7th day
• Duration: 1 to 240 minutes per zone
• Independent settings for each of the two zones
• Simple dial/buttons to switch between zones and confirm settings

What happens when rain is expected—can I pause watering?

The timer includes a rain delay feature that temporarily suspends automatic programs without deleting them. Choose a 24, 48, or 72-hour delay to skip scheduled runs during wet weather, then the controller resumes normal operation automatically once the delay expires.

• Rain delay choices: 24, 48, 72 hours
• Programs remain intact during delay
• Quick reactivation when weather clears
• Helps prevent overwatering and water waste

Can I water manually without losing my scheduled programs?

Yes—manual watering is available and does not erase programmed schedules. Use the manual mode when you need an extra soak for newly planted areas or to top up containers, then return to automatic mode with your saved settings intact.

• Manual watering works independently of set programs
• Ideal for spot-watering or transplant care
• Easy activation from the front panel
• Resumes scheduled irrigation afterward

Is installation difficult and will the brass fittings last outdoors?

Installation is quick thanks to a swivel connection that mates to standard garden spigots and hoses, and the brass inlet/outlet provides stronger, more corrosion-resistant connections than plastic alternatives. The robust fittings reduce leaks and improve long-term reliability, making the unit better suited for outdoor use.

• Swivel connection for fast, leak-resistant installation
• Brass inlet and outlet for durability and corrosion resistance
• Works with standard garden hose and spigot threads
• Weather-resistant housing built for outdoor conditions

Who is this for? RAINPOINT's 2 Zone Sprinkler Timer is made for homeowners, renters with yard responsibilities, small-scale landscapers, and gardeners who want an accessible, durable way to automate watering for two separate zones. It's especially useful for anyone who needs precise control of run times and frequency, wants to avoid overwatering during rain events, or prefers the peace of mind of durable brass connections and a simple manual override.
