Essential koi kit . . .

[KoiCop]

wife bought this for me and it arrived today. It simplifies timing my pond water changes and it's great. Thought I'd share with y'all since we all face the same danger of screwing it up.

I have shopped all over for count down timers that don't die when they get wet. It looks like some girl found you a good one. Does it beep good?

no sense varnishing the plain ol' truth.

The timer never gets wet; I turn the hose on, set the timer, hang it around my neck, go inside and log on to K-B. When it rings I go outside, turn off the hose and hang the timer up. Even has a magnet on the back so it sticks to the freeze.

Oh, the ring is not only loud, it's continuous -- until turned off. And since it's hanging around my neck, both my wife and I are reminded that water's running. (Always helps to have a backup plan, ya know. )
