Easy to set up, easy to manage and it's been running fine. Others have said that this thing rips through batteries, but I'm not seeing that at all. The battery indicator has been showing a full charge since I set it up. FWIW, i'm used fresh DuraCell AAs.I like how easy it is to delay the timed cycles when it's raining or forecast to rain.The only negative thing, and it's really not the fault of the timer is that it's highly recommended that you use an anti-siphon coupler between the device and the main spigot. The annoyance is that the anti-siphon coupler makes a rather loud humming noise for the 1st 2 minutes of any zone watering. Luckily it goes away after 2 min. Other than that, I recommend this with 5 stars.

This thing is worth every penny. I have four zones or irrigation run off it in my greenhouse. With each zone able to be individually programmed it's made watering so much more manageable for someone who also works. I highly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars No multizone feature

M.T. · October 10, 2024

I purchased another melnor water timer and has the multi zone function. Looks just like this one but has one extra button labeled ABCD each letter you can set for a specific time day and duration. This one does not have it and I need that feature and didn't realized it untill i set it up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth a few bucks more

Bought several at different times. Very reliable. Like the 4 spouts even if I am not always using everyone.Not that much more than the 2 spouter. Easy manual override for any zone. like the ability to adjust the manual water on the fly.

1.0 out of 5 stars electronics don’t work, keeps resetting

G.M. · May 28, 2025

Don’t buy it. I have a 1 zone timer that works perfectly. This 4 zones keep losing its memory, keeps going back to factory settings, useless. I wish I had the whole package so I could return it

5.0 out of 5 stars Dependable Timer

It works as advertised. I live where it is hot and humid and the timers that are in a shaded areas last multiple years. Those in the sun usually last a watering season.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed

C. · March 18, 2025

I bought this to replace a unit I had for two years. I THOUGHT it was the same as my previous unit. However, this one does not allow selecting the days of the week to water. You can only select every day, other day or three days. That is not at all how I used my previous device. I am disappointed that I spent this money on a device that doesn't exactly meet my needs. Because of the amount I spent on the unit, I will make it work. We are on a well and in an area that experiences drought conditions so it is important that I manage the water usage carefully. Other than the scheduling issue, the unit works well.

Australian Buyers!! ---- be aware that you need to order adaptor fittings from American Garden Hose Thread (GHT) to BSP to be able to use this water timer. The thread size is 3/4"No Problem to get on Bolo, but it adds extra cost. There is no indication in the specs (as I can see) to point this out.I will update this rating once I am able to install it#2 Received Adaptors 3/4 GHT to 3/4 BSP (3rd May 2020) finally ready to install. Fittings are perfect (in brass) but not cheap .Ready to go I thought, insert batteries and program.Oops another problem. Timer not working. Found no connector bridge on one side of the battery box (see pictures.) This renders the Melnor 35065- AMZ aqua Timer 2 Zone Digital Water Timer useless.I hope my Warranty enquiries will be successful.#3 Melnor was quick to reply to my warranty enquiry, promising a replacement.To my surprise Today I received a brand new water timer.All is well and working as it should. BTW the programming is super easy.*****Thank you Melnor

Unable to stop this leaking.

J.R. · June 13, 2023

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.
