7 timers verified as junk in 48 hours.

After 48 hours it's very clear that these timers are junk. We bought 7 to individually control lawn sprinklers, one at a time, on a large area of freshly seeded land. The first issue to arise was with flooding. Yeah! The water supply is connected to the timer by a threaded plastic collar that you attach to your hose or spigot that then attaches to the timer by a "quick connect" that is not up to the task. We experienced multiple occasions, with 3 different timers, where the water supply blasted off of the timer at that lousy connection and then ran for hours onto the yard. 1 of our timers was dead right out of the box and another died when it got wet. We're returning all of them and trying the barely more expensive Orbit branded version to see if it's any more useful to us. The Orbit also has similarly scathing reviews but at least the supply hose will thread directly onto that version.
