Why We Love the Claber Aquadue Duplo Water Timer (and Think You Will Too)

Here at Easy Garden Irrigation, we get to test and work with a lot of watering equipment. But every so often, there's a product that just quietly becomes a favourite — one that gets mentioned in the office a lot, flies off the shelves, and regularly earns praise from our customers. The Claber Aquadue Duplo is exactly that.

It’s not flashy or overcomplicated. It just works — and it makes a noticeable difference to how easy it is to manage garden watering.

Here’s why we love it (and think you might too).

It's a Time-Saver (and a Brain-Saver)

One of the main reasons we recommend the Duplo so often is because it takes the thinking out of watering. You can set custom watering times for each zone of your garden, and it just gets on with it. Whether you’re at home, on holiday, or just too busy to remember to turn the tap on, it’s one less thing to worry about. For a lot of our team — and our customers — that’s what makes this timer so valuable. You set it up once, and it just does its job.

It’s Perfect for Split Gardens

Many of us here have different areas in our gardens that need different care — like a veg patch that needs regular water and a lawn that only needs a top-up. The Duplo is brilliant for this. It has two separate outlets, so you can give each area what it needs, when it needs it. That kind of flexibility is hard to come by in a timer, especially one that’s this easy to use.

It Plays Nice with the British Weather

Let’s face it — British weather is unpredictable. One minute it's sunny, the next we’re in a downpour. That’s why we love that the Duplo can be connected to a Rain Sensor. When it rains, the timer automatically pauses your watering schedule. It’s smarter, more sustainable, and stops you from wasting water.

It Just Keeps Going

We’re always impressed by how long the Duplo runs on just one 9V battery — a full season, sometimes longer. That means no constant checking, charging, or fussing with mains power. And there’s a battery status indicator too, so you know when it’s time for a swap. It’s one of those little details that makes using it feel seamless.

It’s Easy to Use (Really)

We’ve set up a lot of timers over the years, and some are fiddly. The Duplo isn’t. It has just three buttons and a clear LCD screen, which makes programming it feel intuitive — even if you’re not that techy. It's one of the timers we confidently recommend to first-time users and seasoned gardeners alike.

Final Thoughts

The Claber Aquadue Duplo Water Timer isn’t about fancy features for the sake of it. It’s about simplicity, reliability, and making garden care a little easier. That’s why it’s earned its place as one of our best-selling timers — and why we keep recommending it, using it, and talking about it.

If you’re juggling a busy garden or just want peace of mind that your plants are getting what they need, this timer is a great shout.
