Customer Experiences
Melnor’s reputation is built on the real-world success of gardeners across the country who rely on these tools season after season.
James Sterling “After years of struggling with uneven watering, I finally picked up the Melnor XT Turbo Oscillating Sprinkler, and the difference is night and day. I was particularly impressed by the Zoom Control feature; I have a narrow strip of grass alongside my driveway that usually gets missed, but I was able to adjust the width and range perfectly to hit only the lawn without wasting water on the pavement. Even with my high-mineral well water, the turbo drive hasn’t clogged once over the last two summers, which is a massive upgrade over the cheaper aluminum bars I used to buy.”
Linda Moreno “Gardening has become a bit harder on my hands lately, so I was thrilled to find that Melnor’s nozzles and adjustment tabs are actually certified by the Arthritis Foundation for their ease of use. I currently use a set of their multi-adjustable spike sprinklers to cover my raised bed gardens, and the flow-through base made it so easy to connect three of them in a single line. The spikes stay securely in my hard soil, and being able to adjust the spray angle from a narrow 5 degrees to a full circle without moving the spike itself has saved me so much time and effort.”
Robert Harrison “I’ve been using the Melnor Pulsator Sprinkler with the zinc two-way spikes for my large backyard, and the coverage is honestly staggering. On full pressure, I’m getting nearly 80 feet of reach, which allowed me to water almost my entire half-acre lot using only two units connected in a series. While they are mostly high-impact plastic, they’ve survived my two German Shepherds chasing the water streams every afternoon. It’s a reliable, cost-effective setup that honestly rivals the expensive in-ground system I was quoted several thousand dollars to install.”
Melnor FAQ
Can I leave my Melnor timer or sprinkler outside during the winter?
No, you should always bring your watering tools indoors before the first frost, as freezing water can expand and crack the internal valves or plastic housing. For timers, it is specifically recommended to remove the batteries, drain any remaining water, and store the unit in a heated area to prevent the electronics from being damaged by extreme cold.
What should I do if my oscillating sprinkler stops moving or has a weak spray?
Most movement issues are caused by sediment or mineral buildup in the nozzles or the internal gears. You can usually fix this by unscrewing the end plug to flush out debris, using the built-in cleaning pin to poke through the rubber nozzles, and checking the filter washer at the hose connection for any clogs.
Are Melnor products compatible with standard garden hoses?
Yes, all Melnor products in North America are designed to fit the standard 3/4-inch GHT (Garden Hose Thread) found on almost all residential outdoor faucets and hoses. If you are using products outside of North America, you may need an adapter for BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads, which are common in Europe and other regions.
How do I reset my Melnor electronic water timer if the screen is frozen or not responding?
To perform a full factory reset, press and hold the center button (often labeled “OK” or “Manual”) for approximately 7 to 10 seconds until the word “RESET” appears on the screen. Keep in mind that this will erase all your programmed watering schedules, so you will need to re-enter your clock settings and cycles afterward.
What type of batteries should I use for my Melnor timers and how long do they last?
Melnor recommends using high-quality brand-name alkaline batteries, such as Duracell or Energizer, as rechargeable or low-quality carbon-zinc batteries may not provide the consistent voltage needed to operate the valves. Under normal use, a fresh set of alkaline batteries should last for one full watering season.
