4.0 out of 5 stars Great convenience, watering your plants, July 11, 2007

By	Shihhsin Peng - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great product. I have a matching timer with four ports, which I bought as a kit, with two of these valves. I use it with a hose reel and a soaker hose for a bunch of potted plants in the back yard. It's such a great convenience to just set the timer and all your plants are watered consistently, no matter how busy you are. And no more problems with coming home to dying plants, after returning from vacation.

One problem with the valves, as another reviewer pointed out, is that much of the hose connection point is made of plastic. If you put stress on the joint by moving it or hanging it off your faucet, it will break over time. That happened to one of mine, as I connect it to a hose reel through a quick connect. After about 8 months, connecting and disconnecting the hose line, the plastic connection points became brittle, cracked, and started dripping.

To solve this, I would recommend that you use a short flexible extension between the valve and your faucet, so that both ends of the valve are flexible, relieving stress on the plastic parts.

Beyond that, I think the product is great.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good funtionallity but low matereal quality, March 10, 2007

By	Rafael Cervello "Raphiel" (Miami, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

this product is convenient and easy to install/program but the quality of material is low. I have had to replace it 3 times already.

The plastic encasing and specially the hose plastic connector breaks easily after being exposed to elements for 3 to 5 months.
