Recently I read about the Pope battery driven timer that can be
installed anywhere in a12mm or 19 mm branchline.

Unfortunately I could not find out where the timer is available.
Please let me know if anybody knows a source.

The timer in question is sold\manufactured in Australia by Toro
(http://www.toro.com.au/). They sell the Pope series os Tap timers, and
include an inline tap timer under the Pope range. Not a huge amount of info
on the Toro website, but there are links to find out how to set one of the
battery inline units up.

Hope this helps.

I had a look at these a little while ago - I couldn't use them as you need
to use high pressure pipe from the tap to the timer - the standard (home
use) irrigation pipe is not high pressure...

If you have high pressure pipe then they are definately worth looking at.

I also came across a battery operated inline "water computer" (can't
remember the brand) which had not only the timer but also battery operated
solenoids (up to 4 from memory) which enables you to run more than one
zone... again they need high pressure pipe up to the unit.

HTH.
