3. He takes a shower every second day.
4. He takes a shower every two days.

2 is not as clear as 1.
=====================
Thank you for your help.
1. The flea market is open every 4th Saturday.
2. The flea market is open every four Saturdays.
[#1 is correct, grammatical and commonly used. What about #2? Is #2 not grammatical? Or is #2 grammatical, but not commonly used?]
5. The conference is held every 4th year.
6. The conference is held every four years.
[They are both grammatical and no problem in using them, aren't they?]
