Misting system controller

2008-04-28
I have used this model before, buy could no longer locate at the local hardware store. Found it right away on the Amazon site. This is the best battery powered water controller I have found thus far enabling up to 360 minutes of use. It is perfect for our misting system over our Arizona room. The controller lasted over 6 years in the Arizona heat until the selnoid gave out (controller still works).

Hi Tech Controller

2008-04-18
Have been using the old type Orbit controllers. This is a new high tech version of the same principal. But its much better in that it is computer controlled (chips inside) and completely water proof, where as the old timers, well if they got wet then they quit.

Its easy to program and recommend you buy them...

Great product!

These timers are great, very dependable even through our hot Arizona Summer! We usually put ours on in April or early May and they run on fresh batteries until we take them off in November. (don't let them freeze!)If it's true that this model has been discontinued, I think the company should reconsider.

hose bib timer/valve

2006-11-04
It is the best on the market and very reliable. It may cost more but is worth the price. It is very convenient being able to slide-out the timing mechanism, making any adjustment, and then reattaching. I do not like timers that do not have a clock or do not readily indicate a malfunction. This does it all.

A well-designed product

This automatic valve is a very well-designed product. It is professional in appearance and construction. The programming is well thought out and simple to accomplish. Furthermore, you can remove the programming unit and take it to a comfortable place to set it up. I have tried two different Melnor products which were not only cheaply constructed, but in both cases had manufacturing defects and didn't work.

No pressure

2008-06-30
I installed my timer and the valve would open, but with hardly any downstream pressure. I called Orbit and they suggested I return the timer, which I did and asked for a replacement. The replacement came, and same thing. Valve opens, and the water just trickles out the downstream side. I'm very disappointed. One faulty part I can understand, but two in a row?

Garden Water Timer

2008-06-02
This is my second unit of this brand and type and so far it is the most dependable, versatile and durable timer I have used. The only negative is the fragile display cover. The clock is accurate with easy to read instructions.

Good for high pressure systems

2008-05-18
I am using this timer on a garden sprinkler system that requires 115 PSI. Originally, I purchased another Orbit watering timer (w/ 2 dials) but it could not handle high pressure above 80PSI and allowed water to leak through the valve. I exchange it for this model a couple weeks ago and haven't had any issues with leaking water. I believe the manual rates this timer up to 80PSI though.

Great product.

I live in the high desert. In winter the temperatures reach 0 fh. This is the only hose timer that continues to work in cold temperatures. (Not designed for it, but it does work) I've tried so many other timers this is the only model that lasts. Great product I now have 5 of them.
