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
drippers. *I have now added a timer so I have:

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.



Yes - apologies - I had not taken in the detail of your problem.
