Question about Garden

Gardenmate tap timer

I have two units which have worked for several years using Eveready Gold batteries. This year the unit only worked for a few days and the light shows low battery and the unit does not work anymore. I have replaced the batteries several times, also with Eveready Super Heavy Duty batteries. I bought a new unit because I thought the old one was faulty. Now I find that all three do not work long on either sort of battery. Please advise what batteries should I use??

This kind of machine they need a traction battery

    this kind of machine they need a traction battery. and you can find in 6V and 12V.

    but you must give attention in amper per hour (Ah)

    for example 12V 205Ah 12V 195Ah/5.

    what is mean?

    the manufacturer wants it to say that the battery gives you 205 amps instantly and consistently gives you 195 amps for 5 Hours

SOURCE: I have replaced the batteries

I reckon they're useless. New batteries still aren't powerful enough to drive the whirring gears of the timer inside (they only take AAA batteries).
I have the same problem as you, which has happenede on both timers I've bough...they usually give out after a month or so and nothing gets them going again,

Sadly a dreadful product, poor design and waste of money. Shame really as it could be so good to really "set and forget"

What am I doing wrong?
If your Orbit system is 8-10 years old, the timer may be worn out. This is especially likely if the timer is electromechanical rather than digital.

My remote only works on 1 and 2. # 3 does not work . How do I fix this?
You posted under Woods timers.
Woods makes a few different timers with remote.
One of them has 3 buttons
http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html#13568

You can try unplugging all 3 remote units so they reset, and then try setting up on button #3 first.

You can also work around using this method: unplug all remote units. Plug in two remote units and turn both lamps ON. Then use button #1 to connect to both of those remote units simultaneously. This way, two different lamps can be controlled by one button.

If remote control is genuinely defective, then send it back for replacement.
Industry-standard is one-year limited warranty.

I own 2 sets of this timer.
One of the remote units stopped working immediately and has never worked since.
Both the remote controls work, but only 5 of the 6 remote units work.

I test timers and 6-8% arrive defective. Most go bad after a few years, some last quite a while.

I have a Lang Autocirc with timer for 11 years. The past few months water not getting hot I timed how long hot water takes in faucet before \unit by 6' and faucet just after unit and times the same over 2...
Autocirc can be uninstalled and the pipe cleaned out with CLR (calcium lime and rust), otherwise there are no repair parts.
Once the motor begins to slow, it overheats and burns out.
11 years is a good run, so you must have good water or are careful about your water softener.

http://waterheatertimer.org/Water-heater-recirculation-system.html
Using the timer and running Autocirc 1 hour a day costs between $11 and $17 per year to operate.
2 hours a day is $22-34 per year.
This includes pump operation and additional time that water heater operates.

Your timer is bad. It comes with 1 year limited warranty.
Buy one at Home Depot and then return defective one.
Make note of wiring before removing bad timer, so re-wire is easy.

GE 15086 is White 7-day digital, non-astronomic timer made by Tork, and sold on-line and at Home Depot.
On the shelf, 15086 timer looks identical to 15071 >> same package >>> difference is 15071 offers daylight savings time and random option, and costs a bit more.

These in-wall timers usually last a few years, and some can last for several years.
Especially when timer operates from electric circuit and not battery.
15086 operates from electric circuit.

Does not turn on exhaust fan motor in bathroom. Display functions work. Could it be the battery or the unit?
The problem can be either battery or timer.
Several people wrote fixya over past months saying that ST01C failed completely after installing new CR2 battery.
http://waterheatertimer.org/ST01C-program.html#battery

Battery operated timer, then weak battery can cause timer to malfunction.
ST01C troubleshoot says BATT advisory does not always display.
ST01C has 1 year warranty.

Advantage of battery-operated timer is simple wiring when box does not have neutral or ground wire.
Battery-operated Intermatic EI600 has 5 year warranty

The battery is not easily replaceable. It's a 1.2 volt, 80ma Nickel-metal hydride battery, that is soldered to the circuit board. I opened the back of the switch to find the battery. The one in this switch was in bad shape. It looks like the battery broke apart, but wasn't leaking. The switch is less then a year old. Bad design.

I just opened this up today and am going to look for a replacement battery. But soldering will obviously be involved to get the a new battery back in place.
