Do you have to remove the timer from the faucet if you want to use the water hose without having to use the timer?

No, you can just turn on the timer and water will flow. The problem is that the timer significantly restricts the volume of water to your hose. I bought a Gilmore timer the other day and its much better, but even it restricts the flow. When I have a lot of water to use, I take the timer off.

Probably you would have to take it off, but there are very few times when you would want to go to that trouble. How often do you have the water on for more than two hours?
992625
No, you turn the knob counterclockwise to "manual" and it the valve will stay open, and then you control the flow with the faucet knob as if it weren't there.

The timer has a manual setting that allows you to use the hose without setting the timer.

Not for me, since the timer has never actually shut off the hose - it is useless.

No shutoff but usually it's hooked up after faucet's shutoff so no big deal.

That depends how you want to use it. There is a waterfall and so In order for the waterfall to keep working a hose needs to be on the whole time. However, if you don't want to use the waterfall then you can just fill up the pool and turn off the water

Yes, you just need to plug the pump into the output side of the timer or cut off the plug and "hard wire" the cord into the output side of the control box.

You don't need a timer. The unit has a thermostat and turns on and off at set temperatures. Yes you can leave it unattended. It has worked very well in our pump house!

I did not put it right into the faucet. I hooked up the hose end to the faucet, then the shut off, then my water gun.Sorry I can not give you a better answer.

Yes! I put a y faucet onto my existing faucet so the timer is on one side and a regular hose is on the other side.

Since this is a timer with built-in valve, anything it is hooked up to will be shut off when that is called for by the timer. Any other restriction will depend on what is attached to the outlet side of the valve. If you have another hose on the outlet side, it will flow just as well as if the timer were not there when it is open.

Not so. I just ran the water for over 4 minutes. The faucet did NOT shut off.

The hose comes with a hand held sprayer. On/off is controlled at the sprayer head with pressure on the handle. At the faucet end when you turn off the water you empty the hose with pressure on the black handle.

No it does not. You would have to shut off the water. There is a way. You can get a small plastic shut off valve at the hardware store that installs between hose and the sprayer or the wall fixture. They are inexpensive and easy to install. Take your unit with you to make sure you get the right size.

Yes, the auto-off timer feature is optional. You don't have to use it at all.

No you do not need one at the faucet. I installed one at the faucet as a safeguard and it lowered the pressure too low.

If I am using these with automatic timers, do I attach it at the spigot going to the timer? Or, from the timer going to the hose?

No. But, if you are concerned, you can disconnect it when finished; then reconnect your hose; then flush your hose. Otherwise you can install an anti-siphoning device.

Sure - why not? Hook to hose - set timer - turn on water -Remember, it shuts off on time, not amount of water.
