You'll want a shorter 'on' cycle than than the standard (non-digital) Intermatic timers can provide.
A regular Intermatic timer runs on 15 minute intervals. Unless you have huge pots, or a really slow pump, best to use a digital timer for this.

Also...make sure all electrical stuff is up off the floor before you leave. Better safe than sorry. :thumbsup:
Rusty Trichome Reviewed by Rusty Trichome on . Auto Water Contraption Question Has anyone used one of the bulb like auto waterers? It's filled with water and the long needle like part sticks into the soil. I think it says it can water up to two weeks. Saw one at Ace. I dont need it for that long, but I'm going out of town for a week and dont want my shrubs to get dried out. Thanks Rating: 5
