The Galcon LCD Hose End Timer (9001D) is a durable, user-friendly solution designed to automate your garden’s hydration effortlessly. Engineered for installation directly onto a standard residential sillcock or garden faucet, this battery-powered controller brings precise scheduling to any landscape. Once connected to your mainline tubing with the appropriate irrigation fittings, the timer delivers highly efficient, hands-free watering for raised beds, balconies, and small lawns.
Programming is remarkably straightforward thanks to the large, easy-to-read LCD digital display and tactile rubber buttons.

It’s built to withstand the elements, ensuring year-after-year performance.
- Intuitive Programming: The large LCD screen and straightforward buttons make setting schedules a breeze without needing complex manuals or smartphone apps.

- Rain Delay Function: Features a manual “rain off” setting to temporarily suspend watering during wet weather, preventing water waste without erasing your programmed schedule.
- Standard Hose Threads: Equipped with a standard 3/4″ Female Hose Thread (FHT) inlet and Male Hose Thread (MHT) outlet for rapid, tool-free installation.
- Dependable Power: Runs on a single 9-Volt industrial alkaline battery and features a low battery indicator to ensure your plants are never left dry.

Get your automated watering system running in minutes.
Step 1: Install the Battery
Pull out the battery compartment located on the front of the timer. Connect a fresh, brand-name 9-Volt alkaline battery. Slide the compartment back in firmly to maintain the weather-resistant seal.
Step 2: Attach to Faucet
Ensure the included screen filter is seated correctly inside the top female collar. Thread the timer directly onto your outdoor spigot. Hand-tighten only to avoid stripping the plastic threads.
Step 3: Connect Head Assembly
Attach your required downstream components—such as a backflow preventer, inline filter, pressure regulator, and a hose thread to tubing adapter—to the male outlet at the bottom of the timer.
Step 4: Program the Timer
Use the physical buttons below the LCD screen to set the current time and day. Then, program your desired watering days, start times, and durations. Test the system using the manual override button.
