If you're using a 24 volt DC sprinkler valve, why not use the sprinkler timer as well? It should come with the 24 VDC power adapter. Given the choice, I'd rather work with 24 VDC around water than 115 VAC. I have an underground sprinkler system for irrigation and it has a 12 zone timer to run it. Pretty sure there are some smaller timers with fewer zones available that would be cheaper. Actually gives me an idea, since the timer for my irrigation system has three independent programs - A, B, C, I could possibly use one of those for a similar fail safe on my RODI....
