I still don't know WHY, but it turns out Melnor DOES make a timer that can be programmed to turn on up to 24 times per day! Granted, it doesn't meet the asker's need of every 5 minutes, but it's a heck of a lot more than the standard max of 2 or 3 times per day. Who knew! It's the Melnor Automatic 2-Outlet Hose Timer. Home Depot carries it for $39.97. It's presently out of stock both in-store and online, but here's the SKUs for when the CovidApocalypse is over: HD Internet #203062299 HD SKU# 557869 HD Model # 557-869 **Q: Can the timer be programed to operate for longer than a week? I have a new lawn and I'm going away for two weeks.** A: Once you set your program - it will last as long as the batteries last. Get some extra-strength batteries and you should be ok for two weeks. **Q: Can I hook this timer up to a rain barrel, gravity fed system? Or will it require a pressured system?** A: I have a three valve and a single valve unit that I use with a drip feed system. The three valve unit water supply is fed thru a boiler fill regulator that I have set to provide 10 lbs of pressure . A typical setting to multiple 1/2 gph emitters is on time 4 minutes / every 12 hours. The single valve unit is attached to a vented gravity feed tank that delivers a Calcium Nitrate solution through separate emitters for 4 minutes once every 7 days. I use this to grow Seascape strawberries year round in my basement in Anchorage Alaska. My experience seems different from some of the reviews I've read here but for me they have worked at whatever pressure I've chosen , and the batteries in the 3 valve unit lasted at least 6 months- they might last longer but I replace before failure (seems like a good idea) I don't work for Orbit, these products have just worked for me. **Q: How does the rain delay work? Is there a sensor?** A: No sensor-this is how to use rain delay: When in AUTO , press + button for 24 hrs, 48 hrs, or 72 hrs. Screen will flash between clock and hoursremaining before programmed cycle resumes. To remove rain delay, turn dial to OFF and then back to AUTO. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple, straight-forward, effective!

Easy to set up and works well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Orbit Water Timer - Works Great! - Need Hammer Arrestor! *by A***R on August 25, 2011* I bought this water timer because, I am a busy man, and I just don't have time to setup sprinklers and stick around to turn on/off the water. I bought a sprinkler set from Ray Padula and am running them off of this timer setup. It is super easy to program this water timer. All I have to do is slide the knob over to the desired position, and use the + and - buttons to set. Once the clock is set, I can easily set it to come on every 6 to 12 hours, every day, or other days of the week. I can set how long I want it to water, and what time I want it to come on. I can have it water up to 1 to 240 minutes, so that gives me some variety. There is also a manual watering mode I can activate to test the sprinklers. I also like this timer because, it only uses a couple of AA batteries, which are very easy to replace. I have only had this timer for a couple of days, so there is no telling how long it will last. Some people boast claims that it lasts over a season, so, we'll see. The reason I am giving it 4 out of 5 is because, I can't setup multiple waterings per day. The other reason I am giving it a 4 out of 5 is because, it causes water hammers whenever it turns on and off. I highly recommend a water hammer arrestor be installed on the spigot before you use this timer. For the price I paid, I got what I paid for, and I am happy with my purchase. UPDATE: 7/1/12 Since I read other reviews from others on this device that stated that it only worked one season and died, I thought it prudent to update you guys on longevity. I ran my timer for one season, then removed it and put it away with the batteries out for the winter. I did not reinstall the timer with new batteries till a week ago. So far this summer, my timer is still operating like the day I bought it and has no glitches. I was able to easily re-program it to water how often I wanted, when I wanted, and for how long I wanted. I think where most people are going wrong here is that they are leaving it attached to the tap with water inside it during the winter. I strongly recommend against this because the water will freeze, and when it freezes, it will expand inside there causing the internal plastics insides to crack. Once that happens, you will either have leaking inside, and or computer logic malfunctions. So keep it inside with the batteries removed for the winter season, and then bring it back out for spring and or summer. ## Frequently Bought Together - Orbit 62061Z 1-Outlet Programmable Digital Hose Watering timer - Orbit 58573N H2O-6 Gear Drive Sprinkler (Sprinkler on Spike) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/675372-orbit-programmable-digital-hose-watering-timer-1-outlet-battery-powered](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/675372-orbit-programmable-digital-hose-watering-timer-1-outlet-battery-powered) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-08-07*
