![]() ![]() The whole shebang is now ready to plug in a hose and get watering without increasing your already extortionate water bill. ![]() Now grab a pre-charged Bosch 18v 2.5aH battery from your tool shed – or purchase one online – and clip it into the control unit. ![]() Just mount the battery control unit to a wall or wooden post next to the butt, feed in the supplied suction hose with pump attached and loop the hose guide over the lip of the butt. Instead of having to faff about with watering cans, the GardenPump 18 uses cordless technology to pump water from the butt through your hosepipe to a water gun or sprinkler. This irrigation pump is a brilliant watering solution for water butt users. Just make sure it’s all connected to your sprinkler or irrigation system and rest in the knowledge that you won’t come home to an arid landscape. This is an ideal system to use when going away for a period of time. And like most water timers, the Hozelock comes with three different sized tap connectors – 1/2", 3/4" and 1”. I also like the rotary push-button which makes programming really easy. Some tap timers are quite tricky to program without resorting to a spot of manual reading, so having an LCD screen to hand is a major plus in this regard. The Select Plus Controller offers loads of handy automation like daily timers (every day to odd days), length of watering (from one minute to 199 minutes), a rain delay button which you need to manually tap if precipitation is on the horizon, and a bypass button which lets you manually override any timers for instant access to water. If you’re looking for something more sophisticated than a simple twist timer like the Gardena reviewed above, then consider this AA battery-powered digital model from Hozelock. ![]()
