timer that does seconds for drip application

[Marshall]

looking for a programmable timer that will go to seconds.

I know of the ART timers and I actually own one. I also know of the Sentinel DRT. the issue with these is they recycle, and are not truly programmable to specific times.

What if I want to drip for 45 seconds, every 3 hours during lights on, but only once during lights off. Or sync up to when lights come on

What are most of you drip guys/gals doing? Just going xx seconds every yy hours regardless of light schedule?

would it be that much of a difference if you were using a minutes timer? I don't see such a big difference from a extra 15 seconds drip.
and then you could use any electronic timer that has multiple separated timers that can be set up at once.

just my

im after the exact same thing. Come on 3 times a day for 20secs, high pressure open ended drip lines so every second counts.

Why not try a line pressure reduction? Maybe something like a shut off valve, and play with how far to close it?

Now the big question here to me is why do you want to drip at night. I run trees in five gally bucket full of hydroton and I have never had a problem not dripping a night. Maybe if you didnt worry about running the system at night you would have a easier time finding a timer. If you really need to run the irrigation at night check out a landscaping irrigation timer they are completely programmable.

Good choice.

Or just use the ART that you already have and attach the ART to a regular timer and have it cut power to the ART when lights are off.

Sure but then you cant run that root rot/mold inducing night irrigation cycle.

I have always flooded once during the night cycle and never had issues.

Thanks for the link on the timer
