It lasted about 3 years before it leaked, 27 May 2010

This review is from: Hozelock Aqua Control Water Timer (Garden & Outdoors)

The functionality is fine, but after about 3 years it leaked water into the electrical compartment and died. It was kept indoors during winter so that wasn't the problem.

In order to trace the leak I connected it to the water tap with the battery cover removed and turned on the water. I immediately saw water seeping thought the internal wall. I then dismantled the unit and discovered the seal had failed where the motor shaft connects to the valve.
