I want to use the Aqua Timer 2 zone 3100 on a 1/4 inch tube sprinkler system. What reducer do you have that will work? Is this unit 3/4 inch or 1/2 in

The unit id's house based at all three ports. I used a standard six 1/4" splitter, on a short hose, to run my drop system with no issues.No reducer needed.

The connections are all standard garden house connections. You can find adaptors for that in any hardware store that can then go to any size PVC pipe you want. I split mine to two different areas of my garden (trees on one leg and veggies on other) so I could run two different watering times. This is incredibly easy to use and battery life was better than any other unit I've had.

All in and out connections are standard hose thread. I use mine for a 1/4 drip system.

Not sure if 1/2 or 3/4 but hooks up to a standard hose. I'm sure you could find a coupler at a hardware store to reduce the threading size.

This timer is designed to be used with standard yard hoses. It has 2 threaded female outputs, that you can use with a regular garden hose.You would have to fabricate your own reducer.

I have a 5/8" hose on #1 and a 1/2" hose on #2 (for a smaller area). I don't have a reducer and this is the third year I've been using my Melnor 2-zone with no problems. As for a tube sprinkler system, I would check with their recommendations. Even though the batteries were still good, after a winter's rest, I still changed them.

They sit inside the end fitting of the hose, and all of the hoses have the same sized end fittings so that they will work with the typical standard residential water faucet that comes out of the exterior house wall. So a 1/2" hose has the same size end fitting as a 3/4" hose. So you should be able to use it with any size residential hose.

it is 3/4 inch - You do have to use a few extra wraps of sealer tape. Now it does not go by a pressure so much as it does in reference to water flow. The switch on is a higher flow than switch off. The unit is a plunger type and is directional (you have to install correctly). It will not sense a drip - drip -drip but triggers at a low flow. Hope this helps

I think the answer is you have the wrong size half inch hose. The irrigation industry makes two hoses one with a half-inch ID and one with a half inch OD that's the problem knowing which hose to use. The seller is not always clear to which of these sizes you are getting very frustrating

My husband did the installation and he did need an reducer/adapter. He can't recall the size, but the guy at hardware store was able to find the correct one as he took new one with him. Seem like the smaller one is the standard size, as we have answered this question from other customers. Good Luck! We like ours, nice and quiet.

I just measured the tubing which goes from the tank to a small filter and then to the faucet and it is 1/4 inch outside diameter. Why would you want to change it to 3/8 inch? The 1/4 inch line has a great stream when the tank is full. Hope this helps.

Yes. My set-up is actually, spigot to timer to filter to 3/4" adapter/connector (that you've asked about) to 1/2" tubing. Hope this helps.

Mr. Mayer is correct....if you purchase this along with this http://www.amazon.com/Pipe-Reducer-Increaser-4x3-ABS/dp/B0085CO286/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid;=1402972986&sr;=8-4&keywords;=Abs+4x3+reducer and a 3"x 6" abs piece of pipe your set. Check Home Depot as amazon no longer has reducer available. They also have a place with precut ask an associate where they keep.... Reducer over existing pipe, add a 4-6" piece of 3" pipe, add bayonet fitting...glue up and ready to go....Plumber Paul

What are the hose diamentions? 1 1/4 or 1 1/2? My old filter has the smaller hose, so I would like to know what these are?

Minimum is 25psi maximum is 100psi. Should work fine w/ two sprinklers. As long as you have a standard 3/4' fitting on hour hose should work fine. I use mine with a splitter.

Not sure about that, but I was very disappointed in Melnor -- just could not get the unit to work properly and their tech support was basically indifferent. I just returned it, gave up and used another timer system which my sprinkler guy installed.

Well not sure if this will help, but I have an older my pool with just a 1" PVC pipe/hole for the outflows. I took the connector to the hardware store and rummaged around between the PVC pipe fittings, and the sprinkler fittings and jury rigged a barbed ended reducer. It took three different pieces between the outflow and the waterfall connector to make it fit, but it works great, so I am assuming you may be able to do something similar.

I searced on Amazon for the the phrase "3/8 to 1/4 water connector" and came up with multiple results. I think what you are looking for is this product with ASIN # B008214L0Y. Here is the URL to the product.MettleAir 120-CB 3/8" NPT Female to 1/4" NPT Male Brass Pipe Adaptor/Adapter Straight Reducer/Reducing Coupling Male to FemaleIf this product is not what you are looking for, you can try going to your local hardware store like Home Depot or Lowes, and ask the people working there.

It has been some time since I installed this for my Daughter, but I think it is 1 1/4", I used an adapter and used 3/4" pipe in our situation, I probably would not use any smaller than 3/4 pipe tho,

The connection on top of the sander works with a 4" ID hose so a 4" ID fitting should work. Try Rockler 4" To 2-1/2" Reducer Item #: 89195. Check the Tech Specs to see if it gets you where you need to be. I have mine hooked to a 4" hose.

I think 3" PVC will connect and than add a reducer 3"/4" to connect your four inch PVC
