 simple installation and use, 2010-08-21
Used these for a month, it takes minutes to install and learn to use. The lid cover of the control panel is not water proof so some concerns on long term durability.
At long last, 2010-09-03
I have bought other timers like this before and cursed them every time I had to program them. This unit is a delight to use.
Maybe the out fitting would be better if brass not plastic, but I strongly recommend this Orbit product.
After initial anguish, good product, 2010-08-29
First product did not work, was replaced promptly. Since then has worked well. There is a serious programming glitch. The unit defaults to no days per week. Who in the world would program something to sprinkle no days per week. 99% of people will want to sprinkle every day or every other day. the unit should default to every day. I spent a lot of time tracking this glitch. Also, the outlet threads do not go far enough to the end. I had to grind the end to get some hose fittings on. Excellent warranty. Excellent support
Great on paper BUT..., 2010-08-31
This unit is easy to program and was the closest hose timer that resembled controllers on irrigation systems. You can set days to water, set the start times and duration of 4 individual watering times a day, manually override, delay 24hrs for days it rains... perfect. However, this unit will not be adequate if you have long runs where every little bit of water pressure counts. When open to water, it is restrictive and you will lose some water pressure. A shame really.
Didn't meet my expectations, 2010-08-29
I wanted a timer that did 2 separate functions this didn't seem to do that.
