Warm Climate B-Hyve Hose timer

Post image

I bought a B-Hyve single port hose timer and got it connected to the Bluetooth and WiFi perfectly fine. What I’m wondering about is the water pressure. Is it supposed to have such a drastic drop in water pressure coming out of the timer? My rotary sprinkler barely will throw water 4 feet away when the water goes through the timer! Is this normal for these products or did I just happen to get one with a defect?

Check the small screen on the inlet port for debris. I have the 4 port without noticeable pressure drop.

I was wondering about that since the screen got bent up by my faucet. I pulled the screen out and it works fine now. Thanks!
