Also, a game changer for me was using plastic quick connects from Gardena and/or Melnor! They have the same exact patented design so they're interchangeable https://a.co/d/0gawccvE I figured that most of the wear and tear on a hose bib or hose timer comes from connecting/disconnecting the hose. With these, I only truly connect by screwing/unscrewing it once a season, and it's screwing something small on/off by hand, not the end of something attached to a hose. You can disconnect the hose easily, with one hand, and even if the water is running it automatically stops. I use these on the timer end, the sprinkler end, and on any nozzles I have. I was tempted to buy the more expensive brass/metal ones until I remembered how hoses are always getting corrosion between the hose and the spigot (both metal) and how I paid $300 last year to replace a spigot because the hose had corroded and fused to the spigot, eating away at both. With the plastic quick connects that's not an issue. A rare area where plastic is better IMO
