QuikDial™ Dual Outlet Tap Timer

Ihad no chance of setting this thing up after 2 hours gave up and retuned it

Bought 3 of these dual timers, 2 leak absolute everywhere, 1 doesn’t. 2 are still working, 1 no longer working, even with new batteries. These tap timers have been installed for 1 month and cost $77 each to leak everywhere with 1 system completely failing. Never had a problem with any Holman product for over 20yrs. But am extremely disappointed with the $231 when I could have bought something cheaper and would have expected it not to work when it didn’t. This will be my last purchase from Holman.

I set this system up and had it running within about 30 minutes and it has thus far functioned properly. I had read the reviews and almost decided to return it to Bunnings. The criticisms were largely valid but resulted from some silly design choices, one being mechanical and the other (software) logical. For some crazy reason the 20 mm tap fitting did not include a sealing gland, which meant that water pored out at the tap junction regardless of how tight the tap nut inlet was fitted. Once I recovered a gland from elsewhere and fitted it inside the 20 mm BSP tap nut inlet, the Quickdial no longer leaked. The second crazy oversight was that there was no continuous programming mode. While programming the system if one paused to read the manual, the Quickdial would return to its operating mode and programming would need to be reinstated. This could be enormously frustrating. The Quickdial should have to overarching modes of operation, a programming mode that remains in play until dismissed and a run mode. Had the issues not presented, I am confident that almost all low scores would not have been given. Overall a nice system.

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.
