This is a fantastic outlet and very easy to set up and use. It features nice big writing so it is simple to see from a short distance away. I love that I can have a separate hose to use manually without disrupting the timers on my watering system.

We have two of these timers. Purchased last Spring and have worked great. Easy to hook up, no leakage, and have used with soaker hoses, pool fill hose, and regular sprinklers. The side independent manual hose hook up is so convenient as well. Going on Spring Season #2 with these. Would definitely buy again.

It worked great for 1 year, 4 months, but in all fairness, I had it exposed to the Eastern side of my house which gets intense sun every morning. I think the electronics eventually got fried in the sun. It completely malfunctioned, meaning I couldn't even set the time, let alone set up the timers (length of time, zone, time to water, etc). I called Orbit customer support and I sent them the Amazon invoice for proof of purchase. They gave me a $75.00 coupon. I bought other products from Orbit. I won't buy this sprinkler/timer again. I will however, cover my new Sprinkler timer (that I bought from a competitor) with cardboard to "shield" it from the morning sun.

We just had a row of Arborvitae planted at the beginning of summer and they were in a full sun location. I was not confident that the sprinkler system was taking care of the root balls adequately and wanted to protect my investment. So, I purchased this timer and some soaker hoses. This device is very flexible in that we had a specific water schedule in mind that was 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening. Without even reading the manual I was able to successfully program the timer within a few minutes. Since then I’ve been gloriously uninvolved with and unconcerned with maintaining these new plantings and despite a serious heat wave they are doing great. Considering the investment that it’s protecting, the cost of this unit is insignificant and it’s been totally effective. I would highly recommend this item without hesitation.

After doing some research I chose this digital watering timer from Orbit. Turns out I did good. I chose the 3 valve version to make it futureproof. I needed a watering timer to save my veggies in summer while I was away on summer trips. This timer has a solid build and is very straightforward and easy to use. The functions are clearly labelled and easy to control. The display is very big and clear and tell you exactly what is configured. Mounting was easy as it came with a steel rod to attach to the wall to secure the timer. I am using the timer in combination with the and it is working well. I have set the timer to turn on at 7 AM every day for 7 minutes every 12 hours. Although this is a 3 valve timer, only 2 valves work with the timer and the third is a bypass valve. I have been using this timer for 2 months and it is working so well I seem to have forgotten about it. The timer is big and I have covered it with a cloth to avoid any attention from curious passerby.This timer gets the job done.

First off, as others have mentioned, the 1st outlet on the left is a manual outlet, not on a timer. So really this should be called 2-outlet with 1 manual bypass outlet.So far it seems well made, but with one undocumented "flaw". As described, there are two "stations" that can be independently programmed. The flaw is that they aren't completely independent of each other. One station needs to be completely finished with its schedule before the other will turn on! For example, if you set station 1 to start at 5:30am and run for 90 minutes, and station 2 to start at 6:30am, what will really happen is that station 2 won't start until 7am because station 1 is still running for 30 minutes past the start time of station 2. This is not mentioned ANYWHERE in the single sheet of instructions except for a single sentence in the troubleshooting guide under "water won't turn off" - it reads: "Start times begin after previous watering cycle has run through all stations and set durations." Which is a fancy way of saying that this timer will completely disregard your second timer setting until the first one is complete.This feature, and the lack of documentation about it, made me think this unit was broken. If you were to set one station to water for a long time (say if you had a station that was watering your trees for 3 hours) and wanted the second to come on 1/2 hour into that 3 hours, it would be delayed by 2.5 hours! That doesn't seem right to me.One other gripe I have is that if you enter into programming mode (even just rotating the dial without changing settings) while a station is watering, it will stop all watering and not come back on once you rotate back to Auto.Pros: Well-made, manual lever works well, controls work wellCons: Undocumented functionality of timer means the two stations can NOT be watering at the same time.Bonus tip: (from instructions) - to water without interrupting the set cycle, press [MANUAL] button and then use + and - buttons to set from 1-240 minutes.In hindsight, I would have preferred to purchase the expandable version of this, by the same company - it was hard to figure out until I looked closely at the garden store, that the expandable one has little valves that plug into the main unit - expandable up to 4 valves. Each expander valve costs $15-20, far less than a single valve timer by itself, and trust me... as soon as you start running your drip lines, you'll see how fast you'll want at least 3-4 "stations" - and this unit only has TWO, regardless of the fact that it appears to have 3.

This timer is easy to install and use. The large dial makes programming very simple and easy to perform. This is a 2 zone timer with 2 timed outlets. The third outlet on the left bypasses the timer, connecting directly to the water source, and has its own on and off lever. The unit is very sturdy and the large easy to read dial makes programming intuitive so you don't need the 1 page instruction sheet. We have purchased similar style units from other manufacturers that failed prematurely, one lasted 6 months and another less than 1 year. The Orbit valve, enclosure, and circuitry appear to be of particularly high quality so we have confidence that this unit will last. The support bracket is only useful if you have a standard hose bib protruding through the wall. We mounted the unit on a standpipe so we could not use the bracket. We will post a follow-up based on our long term experience.7/9/12 The timer valve closes quickly and does cause some banging of the cold water pipe. I installed a water hammer arrester to solve the problem of the banging pipe when the solenoid valve closes on the timer
