Automatic irrigation timers and pressure

I do not think the problem is necessarily with the timer - when I
first bought my Gardena irrigation system (quite a few years ago)
there was a pressure control until which went between the tap and the

tap----timer-----pressure controller------drippers
and it works very well.
Hi Judith,
It did come with a pressure controlling fitting, but this reduces the
pressure so I've left it out, I don't see how anything could screw
inline to increase the pressure.
Thanks to Spamlet for the suggestion. I can't see any way to take it
apart, and anyway I think they only call it a water-saving timer
because the timer concept means you only water for as long as you
need, not because it's designed to restrict the flow.
