Cycle & Soak Irrigation

The 117 Irrigation Timer features advanced cycle soaking algorithms that break long watering sessions into multiple short cycles with pauses in between, allowing water to properly penetrate the soil.

Three pre-set professional modes:

  • Mode 1 (3:15): Water for 3 minutes, soak for 15 minutes
  • Mode 2 (5:30): Water for 5 minutes, soak for 30 minutes
  • Mode 3 (10:30): Water for 10 minutes, soak for 30 minutes

Fully customizable settings available for unique landscape requirements.

Superior Soil and Slope Adaptation

The 117 Timer is specially designed for challenging irrigation conditions:

  • Clay soils: Slows irrigation to prevent puddling and runoff
  • Sloped landscapes: Reduces water waste and improves absorption
  • Sandy soils: Optimizes intervals to prevent over-percolation
  • Mixed soil types: Different programs for different zones

By intelligently adjusting irrigation rhythm, water penetrates deep to plant roots instead of running off into the environment.

Significant Water and Environmental Benefits

Compared to traditional irrigation, the 117 Timer helps you:

  • Reduce outdoor water usage by up to 30%
  • Lower water bills with quick ROI
  • Prevent fertilizer and pesticide runoff pollution
  • Promote deep root growth for drought resistance
  • Reduce weed growth and plant diseases

WaterSense certified - the ideal choice for eco-conscious homeowners and businesses.
