    Default Recommend me a decent timer for dripper system

    I've been looking for a decent timer that can do minutes rather than segment timers that do 15mins.

    I've just purchase a digital one that upon testing seems to like to reset itself when going from manual to auto so I've no confidence in it.

    Running hose pipe and dripper rings so the water flow is pretty good and 15mins 2 times a day would empty my resivour.

    So I'm looking for someone who has a digital timer they can recommend me please!!!!

    Thank you people much appreciated

    And how much of that Res is wasted... 15 mins twice a day empties the Res... How big is your res...

    But the Time-R Digital Timer from Growell is decent enough for my use, not sure if that's what you're after though..

    It's not about the size of the res it's about the flow, I'm using the same res i used for my last grow on normal drippers and i could go 3 days before needing to refil.

    After 24hrs the res is empty, I'm using halo rings and hose pipe so there isn't any drip it's more of a constant flow.

    I'm needing a timer that can go less than 15mins.

    Wait is that the rhizo drip and drain or just drain and brain?..

    I been trying to get the missus to lemme buy one cause of how much time I spend with everything right now I need to get time back. That collection and autofeed setup would be amazing right now

    It's an iws drain to waste with the brain bucket, really like the system.. Fill my res and let everything happen automatically - defo the way forward.

    The dripper system is home made, I've made it using normal hose pipe with a pond pump in a filter bag and an inline filter.

    Each pot has disconnects and there is a manifold with taps to isolate them in twos.

    Found standard drippers blocked alot and i was forever trying to get them dripping.
