Not a bad deal for a timer/solenoid

Here's a 3/4 solenoid with timer that would work pretty good for draining tanks.

Seems pricey to me. Plus, up to 12 sec "On", sounds like that's not going to work too well, unless I misunderstand the concept.

I mean you can get a solenoid for $10, and an irrigation computer for $20. That would give you way more flexibility I think.

Damn, missed that, you're right, useless. I thought it'd be nice to have them integrated together but you're right.
