It leaked by the spigot. My home's water pressure is higher than recommended, (80 psi vs 110 psi) and caused other timers to fail. The timer is rated for 12 bar or about ~174 PSI. I was excited to purchase what I assumed to be a well engineered product. I am very disappointed. The point of failure was between the cheap plastic part and the spigot. A Lowes timer (which was half the price) was made of brass and did not leak. I will be returning the product and will not recommend this. If you have a normal water pressure this product may work, and the timer seemed to have neat features, but none that I could use.
