Kindly note there would be a small different for different factories even the same specification. Hence, we sincerely suggest you can wrap some teflon taps on the faucet before installation. For more support, please feel free to contact our customer service team.
We really take great importance on this issue. There are three possible reasons for it.
A. Water hammer. To avoid the damage of water hammer, we sincerely suggest you can install the timer vertically. Vertically installation can mostly reduce the water hammer damage.
B. Incorrect specification. Kindly note there would be a small different for different factories even the same specification. Hence, we sincerely suggest you can wrap some teflon taps on the faucet before installation.
C. Thread issue. To solve this issue, we have lengthened the thread of our items for next year. And metal thread inlet will be applied to wifi timer first. If it works well with wifi timer, we will apply it to digital timer.
We sincerely suggest you can wrap some teflon taps on the faucet to make the connection tight. For more support, please feel free to contact our customer service team.
If your water faucet is very low and it is unable for you to install the timer, maybe you can try to use a soft hose to install on the faucet before you install the timer.
We are so sorry for the inconvenience. About the thread issue, we have do many tests and we decided to exchange the plastic to ABS plastic next year. Moreover, metal thread had been applied on some versions. If your thread do not damaged badly, is it possible for you to wrap some teflon taps on the water faucet before installation. The teflon taps can make the timer and faucet connection well. If the thread is badly damaged, would you please take a photo of it and send it to service@rainpointus.com with your order ID.

Sorry for the inconvenience. We consulted this with our technicians to inspect the relevant batches of products.
We found that it may be caused by the following reasons：
The plastic quality of the product is not good, it will become brittle after long-term storage, and it is easy to break under the action of external force.
The design of the connection between the timer inlet and the faucet is unreasonable and cannot withstand a lot of pressure.
And we make three steps to improve our item to solve this issue.
A. We have reinforced the water inlet pipe and added multiple diamond-shaped cylinders on the inside of the pipe to consolidate the connection.
B. For next year version, we will exchange plastics to ABS plastics,
C. We developed metal thread for some versions.

We take this issue very seriously and consulted product technical engineers.
They told me that the digital sprinkler timer uses an LCD display. Under direct sunlight for a long time, the surface temperature of the LCD display may exceeds 50℃ (122 ℉), then it will turn on self-protection and temporarily blank (not display). But normally this doesn't affect the timer's internal programs and valves, your timer will keep running according to the schedule you have set. The temporary screen blank (not displayed) will resume normal at night or the next morning when the surface temperature cools down.
To avoid exceptions, and to better solve your issues, could you help me with the following troubleshooting?
1. Please check whether the battery compartment and battery are normal.
(If the battery is loose or dead, the display will not show too)
2. Please check whether your timer display recovers at night or the next morning, after the surface temperature of the display has dropped for a period of time.
Please have a try. If your issue cannot be solved after you try above troubleshooting, please contact our customer service team for further support.
Sorry for the bother. We checked this with our engineers. They said it is a factory testing mode. Please try to hold the OK button and re-install the batteries and check if it works great. If not, please contact our customer service team for further support.

Wi-Fi timers should be stored inside, in a warm dry place, during winter months, when temperatures are consistently near/below freezing. 1. Turn off water spigot.2. Disconnect hose(s) from timer outlet(s) and disconnect timer from spigot.3. Manually activate the timer to open valve(s) to drain residual water from inside the timer. Gently blow into top inlet to clear additional remaining water, until no more water drains out.4. Manually activate the timer to close the valve(s).5. Remove the batteries and recycle or discard them. (For next watering season, fresh batteries must be used.)6. Loosely cover the inlet opening with a plastic plug, and outlet opening(s) with plastic cap(s) (available at hardware and garden stores), and/or place timer in a sealable plastic bag, to prevent bugs and other debris from entering the timer during storage.
