Rain Bird Launches Electronic Hose End Timers with Dual-Station Option for Added Flexibility
AZUSA, Calif., March 27, 2026 — Rain Bird’s new Electronic Hose End Timer, available in both 1- and 2-Station models, gives homeowners an easy and precise way to manage watering. The 2-Station model offers added flexibility, allowing two zones to run independent schedules, to keep lawns lush, gardens thriving, and outdoor time uninterrupted.
From setup to scheduling, this timer is designed to be user-friendly. An oversized dial and large easy-to-read display make programming fast and frustration-free, while a soft-grip design ensures a tool-free installation. Whether it’s sprinklers for the lawn or drip lines for the garden, Rain Bird’s new timers deliver convenience and ease of use.
Engineered for reliability, the timer is built to withstand sun, rain, and extreme temperatures. A heavy-duty brass inlet resists cross-threading and breakage, ensuring a secure, leak-free fit season after season. Its efficient low-draw solenoid helps extend battery life from just two AAA batteries, with a built-in battery indicator that ensures uninterrupted performance.
Flexibility is built in, with watering durations from one minute up to three hours, up to twice per day. Homeowners can schedule by specific days of the week or intervals ranging from every hour to every 14 days. A rain delay pauses watering for up to 96 hours, helping conserve water during rainy periods or keeping outdoor spaces dry for lawn maintenance or events. For hot days or extra watering needs, quick-access manual watering provides up to 72 hours of watering without altering the programmed schedule.
“Homeowners want watering solutions that are reliable, simple, and fit naturally into their routines,” says Ken Wagner, senior product manager, Rain Bird Corporation. “Our new 1- and 2-Station Hose End Timers are designed to be easy to set up and effortless to use, with clear scheduling and durable construction built for real outdoor conditions. It’s about giving people more time to enjoy their yards, and less time worrying about how to keep them beautiful.”
The Rain Bird 1- and 2-Station Electronic Hose End Timers are now available on Amazon and through Rain Bird’s authorized retailers.
