Default need sprinkler timer recommendations

Hi All,

The switches just quit on my 6 station, indoor sprinkler timer.
Anyone have a recommendation for a replacement? How easy to program?
The Weathermatic WMPLUS6-N "seems" nice on the web, but ...

Many thanks,
--Tony

All switches quit, be sure it is getting power to the unit and past the
built in circuit breaker, mine went bad. Usualy the clocks break then
you junk them. Or a bad main on off switch or clock trigger is not
fully set.

No, just the stupid "man" (manual) zone watering switch. Plus
zones 4 and 5 go off at the same time. It is time to toss
the thing. :-(

The lawn maintenance firm I've used likes Irritrol Rain Dials:

They were reliable and easy to program.
