Does any know where I could find something like this locally? Was hoping to have it for the weekend so can't wait for shipping. Thank you!!

I just ordered something similar (only with a full timer built in) on Amazon, hoping to control a gravity-fed rain barrel drain to water my tomatoes..  It'd be a stretch to get it by the weekend though.  I've gotten next day shipments from there before.

I just found this at Home Hardware.  Looks like it's safe for "culinary" water.

Actually that looks like it will do what I need, I'll stop in and check it out :)

Thank you!!

I took one of those valves out of an old dish washer. Recycling. ;)
