Gilmour Electronic 4 Cycle Water Timer 9400 Teal
Incredibly easy to use, this electronic water timer from Gilmour offers four on/off watering cycles per day so your yard looks its best, even during hot summer months. The electronic keypad is a snap to set thanks to the easy-to-read digital display that indicates program steps and selections. The one-week clock repeats the cycle every seven days, or you can choose the skip function for watering every second or third day. There’s also a convenient countdown timer running through the duration of each water cycle and the option of manual or timed on/off, so you always control the watering amount and duration.
To help make programming even easier, the electronics are removable (just squeeze the side grips and pull), and the swivel nut allows for a quick connection to the faucet. Change your mind about the program you chose? Select the program override function to temporarily suspend watering. For added convenience, this Gilmour timer runs on four AA batteries (not included) and includes a low battery indicator when power is running low.

1 Star Gilmour water timer, Model 9400
Gilmour Water Timer, Model 9400. I ordered this from Amazon, The device was very poor quality and nearly impossible to program. I called support but they were little help and I decided to send it back. Save yourself time and money and avoid this product.
2 Stars irrigationn timer
very time consuming to set the timer for the different watering functions.rain- bird made the easiest timer to set and Gilmour could take a lesson from them for their hose bibb timer.
4 Stars Gilmour Electronic Water Timer
Excellent product to control a single valve. A little cumbersome to make changes to the program. You essentially have to go back through the original programming process and make the changes. Not terribly difficult but could be a bit more intuitive. Otherwise works well.
5 Stars So far, so good
Owned for 1 month and counting. Running 1 impulse and 2 small pop-up heads at same time. Works fine and much cheaper than an inground system. Gotta remember to pull it in before the first freeze.
3 Stars Unique and useful but tiresome
I have eight of these timers so I know them well. Very easy to program with as many as four different programs that can be very specific with a wide range of capabilities. You can turn on manually and set a precise countdown timer for any period of time. Using the unit this way can be frustrating. Because the settings are made with a pressure sensitive panel it does not respond well since you have a specific time to set the countdown. If the setting period times out you have to wait for the timer to cycle through closing and then reopening to set a manual countdown again. The other downside to this timer is that if the unit is in direct sunlight and heats up, the LCD screen will fade and be difficult to read. This condition is not permanent, just while the timer is hot. When that happens the pop off feature is useful to set out of the sunlight. Other than these two shortcomings, I know of no other timer with as many features or that works so well.

User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star Damaged Item
I wouldn’t know how this item work. Due to the cheap quality of the gauge it was damaged during shipping.
4 Stars general idea only
It is good for its price, and is probably accurate enough for sprinkler systems, but it didn’t work for sizing a pressure reduction valve. I got 3 different readings from 3 different hose hookups, using the same test loads each time. If you can hook it up where you will be pulling the water from (as in a hose bib outside), you should be ok. But if you need to find the flow within a pipe, (as in a main pipe in your house) the reading you get from a hose bib won’t work. For that, you should rent a high dollar in line flow meter. Fluid dynamics can be tricky.
