Out of stock | | | | | | The Nelson 2-outlet programmable water timer simplifies your life by keeping your lawn and garden attractive and healthy. The timer gives you the option of watering your yard only at the times you need to, and you can keep your garden and yard looking their best even while you are at work or on vacation. Because both outlets can operate simultaneously without interference from each other, you can use your faucet without interrupting timer settings. The first outlet is timed; the second is a convenience outlet with untimed cycles. Eight different cycles offer advanced timer programs and manual convenience options and both outlets are programmable. This Nelson water timer features easy on-screen programming and a digital LCD time and program display screen. The mist cycle features 20 seconds on and five minutes off, which is ideal for drip watering systems. Other features include extra large, easy-to-grip, soft rubber swivel coupling, and a reliable diaphragm design that replaces the ball valve and extends battery life. | | | | | |

 What a junk product! Apr 22, 2008
1- The display is almost unreadable - in direct sun or shade.
2- The bypass valve delivers about 25% of what it should.
3- Although I could ALMOST program it, I couldn't. . . and I have built my last 6 computers from parts.
Junk, pure and simple.
 L.R.Nelson 5945 LCD failures Sep 07, 2007
I just (Sep. 7, 2007) spoke with someone at the L.R.Nelson customer service line. (Their web-site, at www.lrnelson.com, lists two support numbers, one just for the electronic timer devices). The tech I spoke to sighed deeply and said, they know of the problem but haven't found a solution to it yet.
For the time being, though, if you mail them your receipt for the problem timer, if it failed with a dead LCD, they'll send you a new unit.
Temporary approach, because the problem MAY be caused by exposure to sunlight (the tech said), is to keep the unit's display covered over. She suggested using black electricians' tape, but I suspect that a cardboard or foil flap would do as well and not be a problem to remove. I'm buying one anyway -- and keeping the receipt until the warranty runs out.

 Very good timer. Sep 07, 2007
Very good timer for the price. I had an older nelson timer that stopped working. I called the company, and they told me that my timer was no longer being made, but they would send me a new one that was an upgrade. They sent me this one.
Recently, I've been looking for an additional timer. I'm on my 4th one from Melnor and I'm taking it back and getting this one from Amazon. The other timers just plain didn't work, or didn't have the features that this one does.
One of the features I like the most is the manual on/off. When you push the button the motor opens the valve and starts the flow. Then the timer displays 3 hours (that's when it will shut back off if you do nothing). You can adjust this down to 15 min. None of the other timers had this feature.
Programing can be tricky at first, but once you get it, it's a breeze.
One note: Both outlets are NOT programable. One is a manual on off outlet.

LCD Display Failure - DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT Aug 29, 2007
Looks like this is a common thread / problem with the Nelson 5945 Hose Timer. Setup and installation was a snap, and it did it's job reliably. One month after installation in June of 2007 (I too live in Texas - temps in the high 90's), I needed to add 5 minutes to the watering time. The SCREEN WAS BLANK!! Couldn't see a darn thing. Batteries checked OK - full power. Unit still functioned - valve opened and closed correctly.
.
NO WAY TO CHANGE ANY OF THE SETTINGS !!!!
.
Design of this unit's display is obviously faulty. Save your $$$ and get something else. I should have done my homework and reviewed the on-line comments before buying this timer.
.
:-(
