EasyFeed Water Timer - Automated Feed Scheduling for Gravity-Fed Grow Systems
Best for: Growers running an EasyFeed Grow System who want feeding to happen automatically, on a set schedule, without standing over it with a watering can.
Our thoughts
This isn't a nutrient product, it's the bit of hardware that takes the "did I feed today" worry off your plate. Set the frequency and duration once and it just runs, letting gravity carry the feed down to your plants on schedule. Simple, mechanical, and one less thing to remember during a busy week.
The EasyFeed Water Timer is a battery-powered timer unit that controls when and for how long your EasyFeed Grow System releases feed to your plants. You set the frequency, how often it runs, and the duration, how long each cycle lasts, and the timer opens and closes the flow accordingly, with gravity doing the work of carrying the feed solution down through the system.
It's designed specifically to pair with the EasyFeed Grow System's gravity-fed setup, taking over the manual job of opening and closing your feed line at set times. Once it's programmed, it runs unattended, which is particularly useful if you're feeding multiple times a day or you're away from the grow room during the day.
How it compares
Timer-controlled gravity feeding sits between manual hand-watering and a full pump-driven automated system in terms of complexity and cost.
- Removes the need for manual feeding schedules in the way a standard garden tap timer, such as a Hozelock or Gardena unit, does for outdoor irrigation, but built specifically for the EasyFeed system.
- Cheaper and simpler to set up than a pump-based automated dosing system, since it relies on gravity rather than powered delivery.
- Battery-powered operation means it doesn't need mains power near the grow area, unlike some plug-in timer/pump combinations.
For anyone already on a gravity-fed EasyFeed setup, this is the straightforward way to automate feeding without adding a pump or rewiring anything.
Usage guidance
Getting the schedule right for your setup takes a bit of observation early on.
Setting frequency and duration
Start with a shorter duration and check how much feed actually reaches your pots before increasing it, this avoids over- or under-watering while you dial in the schedule.
Battery care
Check battery level regularly, a timer that's run out of power mid-cycle means your plants miss a feed, so it's worth keeping spares on hand.
Positioning
Fit the timer at the point in your gravity-fed line where it's specified to sit, and keep it somewhere accessible so you can adjust settings without disrupting the whole system.
Seasonal adjustment
Revisit your frequency and duration settings as plants grow and their water/feed needs increase, a schedule that suited seedlings will likely be too light for mature plants.
Technical specifications

Who this is for
- EasyFeed Grow System owners who want feeding automated rather than manual
- Growers who feed multiple times a day and don't want to be tied to a schedule
- Anyone who's away from the grow room during parts of the day
- Growers wanting a simple, gravity-based automation step before committing to a full pump system
Our take
A genuinely useful bit of hardware for anyone on an EasyFeed setup, it takes the manual timing out of feeding without the cost or complexity of a pumped system.
Set it, check it works, and get on with the rest of your day. Does exactly what it should, day in, day out.
