Take the guesswork out of garden care. The Agromato® Ball Valve Timer (AM-21526) attaches directly to your tap and waters your plants automatically — whether you're home or away. Works at zero water pressure, making it the only timer that works reliably on Indian apartment overhead tanks.
Why Ball Valve?
Most water timers use a solenoid valve that requires minimum water pressure to open. If your apartment runs on an overhead tank or gravity-fed supply, a solenoid timer simply won't work. The Agromato Ball Valve Timer needs zero pressure — water input pressure equals water output pressure, with no flow reduction.
| Feature | Agromato Ball Valve | Other Irrigation Timers |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum Pressure Required | Zero — works on gravity feed | Requires 0.5–1 bar minimum |
| Pressure Drop | None — input = output | Causes pressure drop |
| Valve Type Disclosed | Yes — Ball Valve | Often not mentioned |
| Works on Apartment Tanks | Yes | Usually No |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the minimum water pressure required?
A: None. Ball valve timers work without any minimum water pressure. They do not reduce water flow like solenoid valves — water input pressure equals water output pressure.
Q: How do I know when the battery is low?
A: A battery symbol appears on the top-left corner of the LCD display. When replacing batteries, remove them and let the power drain completely (ensure the device is fully off), then insert the new batteries.
Q: What if the Universal Tap Adapter doesn't fit my tap?
A: Ensure your tap is at least 19mm in diameter. Alternatively, use a 3/4 inch threaded tap. Contact us on WhatsApp (9945313756) and we'll help you find the right adapter.
Q: How long do batteries last?
A: Batteries last 8–12 months depending on how many programs are set and how frequently the valve opens and closes.
Q: Does it work on my apartment overhead tank?
A: Yes — this is specifically why we stock ball valve timers. They work at zero pressure, which is exactly the condition in most Indian apartments with overhead tanks.

I visit my parents in Coimbatore every month for a week or so. Every time I came back my plants had suffered. Got this timer and the last four visits have been completely stress free. Plants look the same when I return as when I left.
Just used fora week though but working good
Excellent product. This is second purchase. Have been using since 12 months. Working flawlessly.
Bangalore weather is all over the place. Hot then suddenly cold then rain. This timer has handled all of it without any issue. Running for 7 months now without a single failure. Battery life is impressive too.
Some products like this can be finicky with leaks or pressure issues. This one just works. Installed it 6 months ago and not a single issue. No leaks, runs on schedule every day, battery still going strong.
