This easy-to-use timer simplifies watering by automatically turning the water off after running for a set amount of time. Simply select how long you want to water and let the timer do the rest. You can water for up to 2 hours, depending on what your plant’s need. Water in the morning as you head to work, the timer automatically shuts off the water after the selected time expires. Free up time with one less chore while your yard stays healthy and beautiful.

I've purchased four of the Melnor 65136AMZ Mechanical Timers over the last five years. They usually last about a year (or more) ... but eventually in timer mode, it cannot shut off the water and will drip when the timer shuts off, so I replace them and we're off and running again. This is the first time I've had one act squirrelly out of the box. It works fine in the timer mode, but I cannot turn it to "Manual ON" ... it just pops back into the off position. This is not a big deal, and not worth returning as I can just set the timer for an hour or more when hand watering, but something to check out and make sure it functions properly. One plus of having to use timer mode ... now when I set the hose down and forget I left if "on", it will eventually shut off!

If you own a pool or hot tub, GET THIS PRODUCT!! Our pool guy put us onto this after we flooded our pool multiple times. We are busy, we’re also ADHD-AF in this house, and while we would set timers to go turn the hose off, we’d either have to keep checking and eventually get distracted or just forget in the first place. This has more than paid for itself already. You turn on the water by turning the timer valve (but can bypass it if you’re using the hose for gardens or other purposes) and then can walk away and forget it. It’s brilliant. I 💯 recommend this for every single pool and spa owner, or those prone to forgetting to turn their sprinklers off. I am not the kind of girl who does hands-on work and I hate touching dusty metal or dirty thing and have very weak hands (all a product of my generation I suppose) and even I could install this without my husband. Brilliant Product and SO easy to install and use! 💯 get it!!

We have used and been very happy with this type of Melnor Mechanical timer ten or more years. We purchased two new ones on April 21, 2024 one for the back yard and one for the front yard. The one in the back yard quit working last week and so we ordered another one to replace it. The new one was ordered on July 9, 2024. It was connected for about two days and it fell apart. I don't know if they are no longer made as well as they used to be or what. We don't mind replacing them when they last a year or more but this is unacceptable. Today, we ordered another timer which is from a different supplier and of a different style so hopefully the new one will last longer than these two. The timer we have for the front yard is still working.

I bought this brand of water timers 20 years ago to fill my pool. The main reason I bought it because I was filling the pool and went to the movies without turning the water off. When I got home the pool was just starting to overflow.The timer has worked great for 20-years but the dial was getting a little warn and the body was starting to leak a little. I bought the same brand again because 20-years in the hot sun has proven to me that this is a very reliable timer. I highly recommend it. It's simple and works. There are a lot of Wi-Fi enabled products out there, but this simple timer avoids all the possible problems with Wi-Fi.One thing to make sure you do is to turn off the water to relieve the pressure on the timer.

I purchased a few of these for my lawn. Some work fine, others broke just like the reviews suggest.The item is easy to use. Turn the knob and the timer counts down. The timer is not accurate, but you can manually compensate for the time difference. Water flow is decreased on the output side. Plastic fittings leak when not tight. Those same plastic fittings break when tightened too hard.I cut the plastic screen on the inlet side to increase pressure. It works great after doing so. But you’ll still only get about 80% water pressure.

Once you have set your timer to desired number of minutes DO NOT TURN TIMER OFFmanually.That will probably ruin the timing device. I learned thatmany years ago. Just let the time run out.ONCE I HAVE SET THE TIMER, I NEVER LOWER THE TIME manually.I either turn water flow down via the hose knob or shut off water altogetherand let timer continue to run.ALWAYS turn timer past 10 minute mark (sometimes more). Most any timerrequires that. I have one in every bathroom for exhaust fan and always turnpast 10 mins. No problems with them after 5 years still function properly.Owned this timer for a couple months. Works well so far & better thanprevious timer I owned.One of the key aspects, for me, is that it not leak when timer shuts off. Otherwisenot much point in having it. I do try to shut off water flow when not in use.Not over tightening is also very important. put just enough pressure to ensureno leaks. Not sure how much; turn on water with timer attached. Set for 15 minutesno leaks your good to go. If leaking tighten until it appears to stop.DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN once leaking stops. It can cause cracking and then it willleak.Hope this helps

Retraction: 8-4-21: apology to the manufacturer. I made a mistake. I must cop to it. Handyman copped to breaking it. Other 3 are in working order. Will buy again. Really like this product.***Edit 8-1-21. Already broken. Fell apart. Will not buy again. Have two left and wondering how long they will last. Left 2 stars because the timer is still working. Sort of. Very disappointed. And of course it's too late to return it.XxxNo leaking. Added plumber's tape to secure this. Works like a charm. The time may be off by a but but seems to work fine. Such a relief to not waste water by forgetting the hose was left on. Will buy two more. Very pleased with this product.

I purchased four units and put one on each of my outdoor faucets to use when watering plants or lawn. The "wings" allow tightening to the faucet without any tools. These units are simple mechanical water timers which can be set to run up to 2 hours. They are well built with no leaks as is expected from a name like Melnor. They are half the price of the electronic types and of course require no batteries. I am retired and have no need to set watering to come on at a specific time so doing it by hand is fine. After having left water run too long a few times these solve that problem. Great product.
