QuikDial™ Dual Outlet Tap Timer

Iol No stars....the site wont let me do that. It made me choose 1 star.
Its so unbelievably difficult to set up, or reset. My husband who is very savvy, re computers etc finds it so so difficult.
It's awful to use. Absolute crap

Having installed many tap timers including multi-station solenoid controlled systems, as well as having a degree in engineering I can attest that this product is not only of poor quality and prone to failing, but setting it up is also more complex than solving a Fourier transform. Steer well clear if you value your hair.

I have read many of the other reviews and decided to reply with my own. I was unlucky enough to get two broken sets from Bunnings (the first plus the replacement). After phoning Holman each time, they sent me one they had personally tested and suddenly the set up was easy and successful. I have been using it for a while now, set and forget. The manual watering is very handy too, especially for checking the water flow etc. If you have problems, phone Holman. By the way, I don't work for Holman; I am a sincere customer. I also use their WX2 in the greenhouse.

-5 stars for this product. It is going back to Bunnings tomorrow.
I’ve been using various timers for 20+ years over multiple properties and have never seen a timer as convoluted as this to use - and I still can’t get it to work.
Give this timer a big big miss!

No stars is more like it. Unable to program it, impossible to follow the instructions without it flashing an error message. Have use Holman products before, no problems, but this one is a nightmare. I have returned it to Bunnings.

From the time you put the batteries in, the system is broken. It is impossible to even set the time! The screen continually flashes. The "new and improved" instructions are useless. Avoid!

i have never had trouble with previous timers, this is a nightmare,
Absolutely hate it.

I've been doing landscaping and irrigation for over 20 years and decided to give the Holman 2 way and 4 way timers a go. Never in my life have I not been able to set a timer up. The instructions are worthless and can't find a video on how to set them.

Taking them back Bunnings to get a better timer.

Unfortunately the lowest score I can give is a 1 star because if there was a minus 5 star this product would get it. I can see that 42% of customers give it a 1 star rating.

Holman, if you really care about your products fix your crap instructions immediately.

Will never use them again as you have simply embarrassed me in front of my clients let alone the 2-3 hours of trying to set the f***ing thing.

The tap fitting as shown in the picture screws into the barrel union below it which houses the filter. There is far too much clearance between the threaded parts so that with only four threads deep there is very little thread connection to hold it together. After screwing it tightly together it ran for less than an hour before literally falling apart. I re-assembled it using lots of threadtape to fill in the voids between the threads. That held for almost two months. I contacted Holmans and they couldn't (or wouldn't) understand the problem, suggestion I may need to fit a pressure reducer. But it's supposed to take up to 1200kPa pressure. Currently I've assembled it again with thicker gas tape, but may need to look at glueing it together permanently.

I have used the dual tap timer for some 7 years with excellent reliability.
It does take some time to learn how to program the unit, but the unit works well. It has finally stopped operating the water release valve (despite the electronics still working) so I am replacing it with the latest Holman dual tap timer.
