Im having a hard time searching for the right timer.
I need a timer that can feed multiple times per day and also pick days not to water. I feed 1x a day and Mondays and Fridays get tea and aptus. I want to bump up the feeds to 2 xs per day and monday and fridays once per day later after I hand feed tea

Thanks
BG

It would be easy to buy a $150 PLC, add some receptacles, sensors (if wanted), timer, relays, etc. The PLC could handle 100s of different timing/watering cycles and length of watering times down to 1/100 second. Find a local sparky he can build you one for about $300, if you have several big pumps, the controller could be wired to a 240V breaker, 4-wire and have over 5000W of power for pumps.

I use an irrigation controller. It gives me lots of options for feed times, duration, days off, etc. there is even a setting for odd or even days.
hope this helps.

That's what I would use as well. It's what I have outside. Can't recall the brand, but it's programmable to the minute, and allow for four overlapping programs.
