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?

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.

yes. otherwise you will have to run back to the faucet to turn off the hose.. with out a shut off valve it is like an open ended hose.

No. I used a "pull down" faucet that allows the faucet head to be pulled out on a hose.

No, once you pull the cord, it stays on until you turn the water off at the faucet.

Maybe this doesn't answer your question but I do leave mine attached at all times. I have it attached directly to the water spout and the hose then attaches to the filter. Been doing it this way for two years and I'm on my second filter.

Yes, it's perfect for using with a hose. You can set the timer and then go on to do other things without having to worry about leaving it on all night, as I have done before buying this timer.

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?

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.

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

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

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

No problem so far. I don't remove this from the faucet tho. leave it connected year round & just disconnect the 3 hoses I have connected.

You attach one hose to the timed valve to have scheduled irrigation and another hose to the other which you can turn on and off by pressing the manual button. This is so you don't have to take the assembly off if you want to use the same hose spigot for something else, you just use the other attached hose and the manual button.

No you do not need to use the spigot. But, I don't think it is removable. However, it will not interfere with watering without using the spigot. DB

No need to call a plumber- you just hook it up (easily) to your faucet when you want to use it, and then unhook it when it's done.

Yes it does , simply turn the knob counter clockwise to where the black arrow is pointing up - and it will stay on until you either turn the faucet off or reset the timer again.

We are not using the spigot but I did not look to see if it was removalble. We just have a hose going from it to the house spigot and then the hose hanging on the reel.
