 Melnor/Gardena 101 Flowmeter Water Timer August 3, 2008

I purchased this Flowmeter Water Timer in order to prevent loss of water in my Havahart water scarecrow system. We have a big deer problem in our portion of New Jersey. The water Scarecrow works better than anything else in scaring away the deer. I have approximately a dozen water scarecrows in series off a garden hose, but have been concerned that a leak in the system, especially if we are away, would result in many wasted gallons of water. In the past I placed a flowmeter water timer between the spigot and the series of water scarecrows and set to stop after a few hundred gallons of water. In the past the flowmeter water timers leaked. This year we had a plumber insert a pressure reducer and the Flowmeter has worked perfectly.

Great product. It shuts off automatically. Set it and walk away. The best part is...no batteries to buy. The timer runs off water volume, and can be adjust to be used for gallons of water or time. Highly recommend.
Great Timers! November 15, 2008

I've been using these timers for about 20 years. I love that you can choose either minutes/hours or gallons (hundreds). I know my water rate goes up after 10,000 gallon, so this helps me keep track of usage in my gardens. My ONLY complaint is that the paper "guide" doesn't seem to last as long now as it used to. These latest ones I bought are starting to come off after just 3 months!! My last timers lasted 15+ years!
 Great product if it doesn't leak September 10, 2008

I've used these for years to water my lawn using a moving 'tractor' sprinkler. I lay out the hose and set the timer (flow meter) having learned how far it will travel with a given setting. I've had two for about 10 years with no problems. One was damaged by freezing and the other one broken by tripping on the hose in the dark.
I couldn't find them locally so I went online. Ordered three. All 3 leaked where the faucet mounting part enters the body of the timer. When the water is on, the leak is moderate. When the timer turns off, the leak is dramatic and defeats a main purpose of the device - saving water.
I contacted Melnor and they sent me three more. Really good customer service. Unfortunately, they also leak. Not as bad but not acceptable. I know my old ones were made in the USA. These 6 (all leak) were made in China.
