Effortless multi-zone irrigation

Meet the Melnor 73280 Digital Water Hose Timer, a reliable controller designed to take the guesswork out of watering. With four zones and a clear, larger display, you can tailor schedules across lawn, garden beds, and containers, all without standing at the faucet.

Designed for busy days and changing seasons, this timer lets you plan precise watering routines. The improved rectangular screen is 25% larger than before, making setup quick and information easy to read at a glance, whether you’re in the yard or by the door.

Smart scheduling that fits real life

Set up to four watering cycles per day, each with its own start time on selected days of the week. This flexibility supports varied plant needs and changing routines, whether you’re home, traveling, or juggling chores around the yard. The multi-zone design allows you to tailor coverage to different areas, so you’re not overwatering where it isn’t needed.

• Program four daily cycles and assign each a start time on chosen days
• Water zones individually for precise coverage where you need it

Weather-aware and maintenance-friendly

Rain delay mode can pause watering for up to seven days if rain is forecast, automatically resuming when the delay ends. Two AA alkaline batteries power the device, with typical life up to six months, and the irrigation program remains stored between battery changes or across seasons. A dedicated Manual button offers quick, ad-hoc watering without changing your scheduled cycles.

• Rain delay up to 7 days to protect plants during wet spells
• Low power consumption, long battery life, and stored programs
