Hello together,

I have a small garden (75m2) and the garden faucet has a normal water pressure.

Question: is the GARDENA irrigation computer EasyControl reliable?

I will be 3 in weeks vacation and I am planning to buy this EasyControl watering computer. Is there any risk that the system breaks, shatters, or is simply not tight?

Since I'll be abroad and have nobody that can fix it if somethings happens, the computer must be 100% reliable.

Has anyone had good/bad experience?

Thanks for the help,

Jacare

    I have a simpler, older Gardena timer system which works perfectly well - insert battery, set timer and length of watering then turn on tap.   Works a treat but I do always test it over 2 nights before leaving.

    I don't see why a reliable company would bring out something that doesn't work and risk damaging their reputation and future sales.

    I had a Gardena system a few years ago and it worked fine.  As obelixx says, set it up and check it over a couple of days before leaving it just to ensure there are no leaks and it is working as required.
