I installed a Rainbird ESP12LXME today. Works perfectly.
Since I need 1.7 amps, what do you think of a Rainbird ESP12LXME with 1.9 amp output?
I don't mind spending some money to buy a good, programable timer. I just don't know where to start looking for something with the amperage I need. Any suggestions on brand or model? I thought about something like the second suggestion with the relay and could do that, but I would sure like to have something cleaner than that. I've also thought about replacing all valves, but there are 12 and it would be quite a job.
