Melnor65140AMZ 4 Zone Digital Timer, Black, Yellow

Seal is appalling. Water sprays everywhere from the tap and the joint. Really really poor product !!

I attached this to my outside tap in UK and it poured water everywhere. It should not be sold in UK

The media could not be loaded. There is a metal-to-metal joint at the top where it connects to the tap, and I could not stop this leaking.I tried an extra washer and PTFE tape, but could not stop this leaking.I did not get a chance to try the timer function as it was leaking so much.I really needed this to work.

I was about to give them a one star review and return them but as it turns out, they just needed new batteries. It doesn't take much to power the display but apparently the valve operation needs pretty fresh batteries. The problem was that zones would be just running all the time and the timer wouldn't control anything. I had purchased two of these and one kept zone 4 open all the time so it's possible that one was defective. The other one and the replacement for the bad one worked great for a couple weeks and then suddenly multiple zones would be open and running all the time.I was using the cheap Amazon AA batteries and before returning them as defective, I decided to try one last thing, new batteries! Now both are working well again.Setting them up is easy and pretty intuitive. You just toggle through the different positions with the middle button and make adjustments with the arrows. I was confused about the days at first, I set them to 7 days thinking that meant water all 7 days but it actually means water once every 7 days. If you want them to water every day set this to 1.

We bought this water timer to replace another similar but different brand that was one year old. We created a cover out of an icecream lid to keep the all day hot sun off of it as we think that may be what did in the other one. Just an FYI. This one is working perfectly so far and was easy to set up.

He adquirido varios productos Melnor para el cuidado de mi jardín, los cuales me han parecido de buena calidad. Este temporizador es mi compra más reciente y con él remplazo uno de dos tomas que colocaré en otra sección del jardín. Puedo decir que en mi nuevo temporizador observo la calidad de materiales propia de la marca, así como una usabilidad adecuada. El temporizador me permite optimizar el riego de mi jardín, que es justamente lo que requería. Para prolongar su vida útil tomé estas medidas: 1) Lo instalé a la sombra; 2) Conecté una de las cuatro mangueras mediante conector rápido, previendo que necesite desconectarla; 3) Coloqué baterías alcalinas no recargables, conforme a las especificaciones del manual; y 4) Me he trazado un plan de limpieza del dispositivo, con el propósito de retirar polvo y residuos (en la zona suele haber corrientes de viento que arrastran polvo y hojas de pino). Por lo demás, recibí el producto en la fecha indicada y correctamente empacado.

The timer is easy to use & is good quality. The problem is it would be so much better if they supplied connectors for Australian fittings. It has 4 outlets but only supply 1 connector. Very frustrating & i had to order more connectors to fit it at exorbitant prices.

The media could not be loaded. Imagine watering all of this plus what’s beyond the fence without timers. And yes, they did cut my cable wire when tilling. But seriously these timers plus a few quick connects for hoses made it totally manageable. I have 16 sprinklers set strategically to hit every area but didn’t want 16 hoses. So I set up a timer on each side of the house, 4 outlets each to run every 20 minutes consecutively in the morning. Then in the middle of the day I use the quick connects to move the hoses to the other 8 sprinklers. It took me all day to figure out all of the water patterns but now it takes about 10 minutes to cover 3/4 off an acre. Worth every penny and they work great.
