RAINPOINT 2 Zone Sprinkler Timer - Programmable Faucet Timer with Rain Delay & Manual Watering - Blue Yard Lawn Watering Timer

Update 5/21/2026 - The seller emailed me directly as a result of this review and offered an upgraded version at no charge. I was hesitant at first because I didn't think Amazon sellers were allowed (or able) to contact customers directly, but after I confirmed it was a legitimate message through their official support email, I proceeded with the upgrade. It arrived yesterday and I got it installed with no problems. Raising my rating back to 5 stars, hopefully this unit doesn't randomly reset on me! The new unit has brass bittings, no leaks so far. This sprinkler timer is working well enough. I'd give it 5 stars, but about 2 days after the initial programming it decided to reset itself to factory defaults. Still not sure why. That was about 3 weeks ago and it's been working fine ever since, so hopefully it was just a one-time fluke. Update 4/28/2026 - Device reset itself again yesterday. I hope this doesn't become a regular thing. Update 5/19/2026 - Device reset itself again. Programming the device is easy enough. I like that it's easy to manually disable everything using the dial (without losing schedules), and I also like that I can manually turn on either zone for a set amount of time outside of the schedules. The fittings, despite being plastic, are working just fine for me. No leaks. Worth mentioning I have mine in the shade, so I have no concerns about UV damage over time.

On its second season now. The UI is close to perfect: you set a the current time of day, a start time and an interval (12 hours, 1 day, 2 days, etc.). This means it doesn't need to know the day of the week, and if you want 4x per day you set ONE start time, not 4, and then it just goes every 6 hours after that. The second zone does add some clicking and complexity and there's no avoiding that. The single-zone version of this device would be the perfect timer.

It really has the extra pressure and greater flow compared to the cheaper versions, Very happy with the results!

We have been using the water timer now for a week. So far so good. It was easy to set up and turns the water on as programmed. We love the second spot so we can have 2 zones for our irrigation system.

We have several of these timers set up throughout our home, and they’ve been a game changer for keeping our plants healthy. They make watering automatic and consistent, which is perfect for someone like me who tends to forget. Since using them, our plants have been thriving, and we don’t have to stress about them drying out. One of the best parts is the peace of mind when we travel—we can leave for days and know everything is still being taken care of. Simple to use, reliable, and definitely worth it if you want to keep your plants alive without the daily hassle.
