For small spaces with potted plants, hanging baskets, or a compact lawn, simplicity and reliability are key. A single-outlet tap timer is all you need to automate watering effectively.

  • Holman 2 Dial Tap Timer (CO1601): A battery-powered timer offering up to four watering cycles per day and run times of up to 240 minutes. Features include manual override, “Rain Off” mode, and operation from 100–600 kPa water pressure. It’s a great choice for courtyards or small gardens that need basic automation.

Medium-Sized Gardens (150 m² to 500 m²)

Medium gardens often have multiple watering zones — lawns, flower beds, and vegetable patches. Dual or multi-outlet tap timers are ideal for handling separate irrigation lines simultaneously.

Large Gardens & Multi-Zone Properties (Over 500 m²)

Large gardens, rural properties, or professional landscapes demand higher flow rates, zone flexibility, and sometimes smart connectivity. This is where advanced and WiFi-enabled models shine.

  • Holman Low Pressure 2 Dial Tap Timer (CO1603): Designed for gravity-fed or rainwater tank systems, this timer operates from as little as 50 kPa. It supports four watering cycles per day and durations up to 240 minutes — perfect for eco-friendly watering systems.
  • Holman Pro 46 Controller 4 Station (CO1444) & 6 Station (CO1446): Professional-grade controllers for large irrigation systems with four or six independent watering zones. They feature advanced scheduling, seasonal adjustments, and durable construction for long-term performance.

It connects to your home WiFi and syncs with the Holman Home App, allowing you to manage watering schedules, set timers, and monitor water use remotely from your smartphone. It’s perfect for busy homeowners or those wanting smarter, weather-responsive irrigation.

Choosing the Right Timer for Your Garden Size
