Question 1

Are there any irragation timers for the home that will water for only 30 seconds?

Accepted Answer

This timer will water for 30 seconds by using the budget option

Question 2

How accurate is the clock?  I will be fined for watering outside of hours if clock is not accurate and I will be not be at the location to adjust it.

Accepted Answer

There is one peculiarity about this clock, noted by several reviewers and "R W" above as a problem which, apparently, they did not fully understand. These reviewers say these units do not keep good time, losing minutes over the course of just a few days. In fact, one reviewer returned a clock for this reason and then complained that the replacement was just as poor a time keeper. I thought this at first, myself, until I did some investigation and ran some tests on my unit.  In fact, the clock keeps excellent time, at least my unit does. However, when you turn the programming wheel through the "Set Time" setting, which you may well do to reach any of the other setting positions, the clock resets to the current time, with the seconds rounded to zero. So, if you are setting other things in the clock, and you spin the programming wheel counter clockwise (from the Auto position, where it most likely lives most of the time, through the Set Time position) to get to what you want, you will be effectively setting the clock back 0 - 59 seconds each time. This can very quickly make it appear that the unit is losing time, especially when the unit is new and you are programming and reprogramming it frequently. So, just spin the programming wheel in the direction to avoid going through the Set Time position, presumably clockwise from the Auto position to the setting you want and in the reverse direction to get back to Auto when you are done, to avoid this problem.
