Title: OUutdoor, but not water proof?
Product review: My second Gilmour timer, the previous more expensive item "electronic timer" version cracked right down the plastic piece that is supposed to do all the turning.So I went for the cheaper version this time, with the nice simple dials. Got a good two months out of it (maybe 30 uses?) before the batteries died. Simple fix, went to replace them, and had a torrent of water come out when I removed the battery seal. (seal is an overstatement it seems). And this is during summer!Removed the rust, and tried to dry it out, but impossible to get inside the case. Then noticed more water leaking from bottom, suggesting there are a few more drips in there than desired.Need to try some other brand. In16 months of home ownership, have gone through 2 Gilmour watertimers and two Gilmour hose sprinklers. Seems their durability is rubbish.
