Melnor 3015 6-Cycle Electronic AquaTimer Digital Hose Timer
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
