Orbit 62075 4-Button Digital Tap Timer Review

This timer has never failed me, it's built well.The only thing I don't love about it is the menu system ... I can never remember what buttons to push when programming it.

Wayne PLS100 1 HP 720 GPH Portable Lawn Sprinkling Pump, Stainless Review

The Wayne #PSL100 Lawn Sprinking Pump works well when properly set up. However care must be taken to ensure that the suction hose doesn't have too much volume which will make it hard to prime or too much flow resistance (too small a diameter or too long)which causes poor pumping performance at the pump outlet.

Suncast Hideaway Hose Reel with Tracker #PTK200D Review

We bought this, since it was rated for 225' of hose storage. We have two 100' hoses for our front lawn so that we can water from one end of our home to the other, and the entire front yard.

It was not well assembled; it leaked and we had to disassemble the entire box to reseat the inlet connection where it joins to the reel.

It constantly breaks - the center shaft is too weak to support the weight of the hose if there is the least bit of residual water in it and it collapses, making it virtually impossible to unreel the hose without taking the entire product apart. It finally broke the locking tabs this weekend when we tried to unreel it.

It also tips over when you are trying to unreel the hose, and takes forever to wind the hose back up, due to a high gear ratio - each crank winds up a very small amount of hose.

If you have a smaller lawn, and only need 100' or so of hose, this would probably work well for you. But it is NOT capable of handling 200 - 225 feet of hose, as stated. It just doesn't hold up.The sad thing is, they could invest a few more cents in producing a quality product that is sturdier, and have a great product that people would be willing to pay more for.

Nelson 50503 High-Pressure Rated Fireman's Style Industrial Spray Nozzle with Large On/Off Lever Review

I won this as a door prize and laughed.I figured it would be just something else to sell at the next garage sale, but I thought I'd try it first. I was impressed.It does put out a lot of water (we have 80# pressure) and the large end controls the stream easily. I'm able to adjust the stream from concentrated full force to a fine mist and since it puts out so much water, it cut the time I need to water the flowers in the morning in half. I'm so impressed, I'm buying another for the front yard.

The only thing I didn't like about it was that the on/off seemed backwards to me.You pull back to start the flow and push forward to stop. Also, it is heavy, but at least I don't have to worry about it falling apart like the plastic ones.

Update--Dec 27,2009 -I've now used 2 of these all summer and fall and am still sold.They're great.I was able to reverse the on/off lever by removing the screws and switching the handle to the reverse side of the nozzle as stated in some of the comments and soon found out why it's the way it is.When the nozzle is on the ground, it's very tempting to pick it up using the on/off lever.When the forward position is the OFF position, it's not a problem.When it's reversed and you pick up the nozzle, the handle moves forward (to ON) because of the weight of the hose and you end up getting soaked.It's happened a couple of times to me, so I switched it back to the way it came.I guess they DID know what they were doing.

Melnor 3060 6-Cycle Electronic AquaTimer Digital Dual Hose Timer Review

I own two of these and love them.This has the most flexible scheduling I've ever seen.You can use the mist setting which allows the timer to run for 2,5,10, or 15 minutes then set off for 10 minutes then turn back on again.This is the best feature as it allows the water to soak into the ground instead of run off not to mention lower watering bills for the same green lawn.
If you have weak water pressure, using this mist setting to have two of the timers alternating between on and off.One is on for 10 minutes while the other is off.
For large sod installations, this timer is great.If you buy a 4-1 splitter of the main pipe, then attach these timers, then a 2 to 1 splitter, you can run 8 sprinklers on alternating time patters that allow each set of sprinklers to maintain high water pressure.No more moving sprinklers around!
You can set 6 different on/off times during ONE day if you need to.Great for new sod or overseeding a yard.Keeps it wet all day.You can select which days of the week to run or odd/even.It saves 5 different schedules.There's even a schedule that only runs once.
The other feature I love is the elmination of "water hammer."With other timers, you know when it stops because of that loud THUD!This timer has a more gradual open and shutting of the valve that elimnates that loud thud in your pipes.

Claber 9567 Metal-Jet Pistol Garden Hose Nozzle Review

Very good product. Very rugged, easy to adjust spray (though a little different from others)built in flow adjustment (separate from spray adjustment). Easy lock. Forget those home center throwaways. It used to be you could get a decent nozzle from Gilmour for example but the stuff they sell at the home centers is junk. I've gone through two of those a season for the last several years. I expect this one to last forever. This nozzle has a metal core and is solidly built. I also purchased a Claber Multi-Jet at the same time. It is more adjustable, but not as sturdy as this one.Both are very good.
