Holman Tap Timer Review

Today’s Holman Tap Timer review focuses on the Holman BTX1 tap timer. My Holman BTX1 review and setup video shows my unique configuration. It also stresses when setting up multiple BTX1 tap timers the importance of giving them individual names.

I’m hoping my Holman Tap Timer Review video will do well on YouTube because the competition videos aren’t as numerous as some of the other review videos I’ve done. All in all, I am pretty happy with my BTX1 which is why I scored it 7 out of 10. The video explains what cost Holman those three points.

While the BTX1 works well when it’s used on one tap, I found a problem when used on a multi-tap configuration. This probably would not have been an issue if they had used metal parts. The way around that was to ensure the timer was screwed in as tightly as possible.

The BTX1 biggest fault was in the Zone Management menu, see my BTX1 review video. While it would work fine if you only have one tap timer it’s more difficult when having multiple timers. This could be quickly resolved by changing the ‘run time’ to “Stop Time.’ Sure, it can be done with run time but it means working out when the timer will stop so you can set the time start time for the next timer.

The BTX1 timer, while it does not look like much, makes watering your garden extremely easy because it’s controlled by your smartphone. Now, I no longer have to leave the comfort of my lounge chair when I know that my garden/lawn needs a bit of water. Yes, it costs a little more than your average digital tap timers but I’ve used them before, both pope and Holman and they were very problematic.
