Irrigation hose timer RainPoint ITV205, 2-zone programmable watering schedule

RainPoint ITV205 is a 2-zone hose irrigation timer that lets you program and control watering for two separate areas of a garden. The unit features a large LCD and an intuitive dial with zone selection for easy schedule setup. Each zone supports an individual start time, duration and frequency. Manual start and a rain delay function provide additional flexibility. The controller is designed for outdoor use with an IP65 rating and a built-in filter for protection against debris.

Advantages

The ITV205 supports independent programming for two zones, allowing different start times, durations (from 1 minute up to 3 hours 59 minutes) and frequency (every 1–12 hours or every 1–7 days). A rain delay (24/48/72 hours) helps avoid unnecessary watering during wet weather. Manual operation is available via a dedicated button for immediate watering without changing the programmed schedule. Robust construction includes IP65 waterproofing, a built-in filter, BSP inlet compatible with 3/4" and 1" faucets and an operating pressure range of 0.5–8 bar with a maximum flow of 35 l/min.

Suitable for

• Small lawns and garden beds
• Balcony and patio container plants (with compatible hose setup)
• Hobby gardeners who need scheduled irrigation for different plant areas
• Temporary watering needs during outdoor maintenance

Use the dial and function buttons to select a zone, set the start time, choose duration and set frequency. Select 12- or 24-hour time format as preferred. Use the OK MANUAL button to start watering immediately without changing programmed settings. Use the Rain Delay option to postpone scheduled cycles by 24, 48 or 72 hours when rainfall is expected.

Recommendations

Check and clean the built-in filter regularly and remove batteries if the device will be stored for extended periods. For best results, set durations and frequencies according to plant type and local weather; use rain delay when significant rainfall is forecast to prevent over-watering.
