Automatic Sprinkler Timer
I need a new automatic timer for my lawn sprinkler since I am about to go away for the summer. I’ve had three of the ones sold at Home Depot and they always fail. Can anyone recommend a reliable brand? It could be an online seller as long as I can get it here before…

I have been using http://www.irrigationdirect.com/ for my timed watering needs. They have a variety or hoses and spry nozzles that you’d need.
This is the same model timer I bought at Leopoldi’s:

I don’t know this eBay dealer, but it was the only listing I could find. I paid about the same price at the store. When I went to buy one a few weeks ago Lowes, Home Depot, Tarzian, and Kings County Nursery were all sold out of electronic timers. I should have tried Leopoldi’s first.
I just installed a Claber drip system for my garden and am very happy with it.
I’m currently using a fairly inexpensive timer I bought a few weeks ago at Leopoldi’s Hardware on 5th Ave. between 7th and 8th Streets. It’s True Value’s own brand (Greenthumb, or something like that) and it’s much easier to set than more expensive models I’ve had. They have two models; one that can be set to go on several times/day and a less expensive model that waters once a day (which is what I bought). I like that it has real dials for setting, rather than a keypad.
I put in a Claber Aquadue Duplo in the spring and have been very happy with it; no problems. I bought it on Amazon for about $80.
