Ratings & Reviews for Melnor 4 Output Port Digital Hose End Timer

Easy to use, easy to program. I like that I can easily detach the programmable unit from the spigot. It is so much easier to bypass the program with the manual switch.

Easy to program with 4 outputs

Very easy to program. It has the capability to program 4 outputs with different times and/or schedule.

Breaks easily

This is the fourth unit that I have had to return to Lowes. They break at the inlet which is plastic. The unit cannot support the weight of four hoses. Lasted a few weeks and then started to leak. My water bill went through the roof because I was on vacation when it broke again.

Makes life easier

We have completely redone our front yard with 60+ cubic yards of topsoil and fresh grass seed. With being on a well system for our water supply. I wanted to make the best out of prime watering hours. Those being early morning during the time we get ready and leave for work. The timer has taken care of the watering chore. It was easy to setup (read directions and supplemental) and adjust for the week depending on what the weather predictions have been. Will defiantly be buying a second unit ...

Doesn't work

Odd that Lowe's asked me to rate this on the day I'm returning it. The number three valve wouldn't close making the whole thing useless.

Gets the job done

Water comes on & off perfectly on time. Had to return one as controller was not working. Lowe’s is good for trying stuff. I’m using two with 3 sprinklers on each to water a new lawn seeded few weeks back. Only complaint is that scheduling is difficult to program and doesn’t allow multiple programs per day other than in 6,12,24 hrs repeat cycles.

Perfect for my new seeded yard.

If you are putting in a seeded lawn or even a Sod yard you need lots of water thru out the day so it doesn't dry out. This has work perfect for me.

Water Timer

Pro: You can take the controller inside and program it and then mount it on the holder and reconnect the short cable. Con: Programing it on manual is confusing but doable.

This is a great product, the only reason i didnt give it 5 stars is that you cant select the specific time for a second run time. The only options are to run every 6 or 12 hours

Excellent for the price

Does exactly as programmed. Had 3 running for 12 months now. A+.

Excellent 4 station timer

I bought two at the beginning of summer. And watered twice a day grass stayed green all summer.

Multi water distribution timer.

This is a great product for installation on older homes that do not have irrigation systems. I was able to create multiple zones and one of those zones throughout the property . A great product

Great option

I needed something to use temporarily for watering need sod. This hose hook up worked great.

Prefer this to the newer version

I like this timer because I can manually turn on a zone just by turning the knob for the zone. On the newer version, even though it had more options for the watering schedules, you have to fiddle with the program timer in order to do manual watering because the zones are strictly controlled by the program, instead of just turning on a 1/4 turn manual valve. It's too bad they didn't keep this feature in the newer model.

Does it’s job

This makes watering the lawn easy. Fully digital, lots of settings. I now own 3 to do the whole lawn.
