A great tool for the resource-wise, Melnor's three-cycle electronic timer regulates watering so that your time, money, and water are better spent. Designed for use with low-pressure drip or soaker hoses, the timer offers hourly settings (once every 8, 12, or 24 hours) or daily settings (once every two, three, or seven days). Programming on the tool is simple--a combination of lighted prompts and a dial with tangible clicks. The unit runs on a 9-volt battery that lasts a full watering season with average use. A gentle shutoff mechanism keeps pipes from banging, while a battery-indicator triggers a flashing light when power's low. Ideal for daily use, the timer's also great for keeping the garden green while you travel. --Emily Bedard

 great timer!! August 6, 2004

This thing is great. I've been singing the joys of having a timer to water my garden all summer. I should say that I don't have experience with a lot of other watering timers, so I can't compare it to those. I have just been really impressed with this unit.
Operating is pretty easy. Easy on. Easy off. Easy to switch to automatic again. It is a little confusing the first time you set things up, but they provide a couple nice stickers with the operating instructions on them to stick to the unit.
You will definitely save water and plants with this. No more worrying about having someone water your plants while you are out of town or realizing you've just forgotten to water them for the past week. If you've been thinking about getting a time, do!
Wow, with all the trouble.... October 26, 2002

With all the trouble everyone else is reporting, I've owned mine for three years and never had a problem with it (except that it likes batteries... it gets a new one about every two months). Mine works great... sorry everyone else is having trouble.
Well worth the price August 6, 2005

This timer has been wonderful. I have three of them, programmed to stagger three different sprinklers for the different parts of my front and back yards, and their different water requirements (i.e. the need to be watered daily vs. less frequently). I've had them all for two years, and since I've had them, haven't had to do anything to my richly populated yard, except occasional weeding. I deal with the battery requirement with rechargeable 9V batteries and a recharger, so the whole system has paid for itself over and over again. Now I can sit and enjoy my garden, rather than being too busy caring for it. Or resuscitating it, when I forget, or when other pursuits call. Great investment, as far as I'm concerned.
These guys "get" customer service! June 13, 2008

Last year I purchased two of that year's version of this model. After some initial confusion they were easy enough to program. (This year's model looks even easier.) They provided dependable daily service all summer and fall -- especially when I was away. However, when I went to install one this year, I torqued too hard with the pliers and broke the coupling. I e-mailed the company service department about purchasing a replacement part, they responded promptly and are sending a complete repair kit -- at their expense! In my opinion, that's good customer relations policy.
Melnor #3015 Timer - Easy as a snap to set! July 29, 2008

The newer version of the #3015 timer is WAY easier to set that the first. You can set it before installing it, and even if you have to re-set it after installation, the numbers are large and easy to read, making it simple to re-set the time, duration, etc. It is worth every penney, and so far, shows it keeps on ticking through thunderstorms and 100 degree weather!
