Orbit 58910 2-Outlet Programmable Digital Hose Watering Timer

Just hooked up my unit last night to a hose connecting to a soaker hose. Set it to water this morning. Worked great, Flowers were watered and unit cycled perfectly. Ready to water again tomorrow. Depending on the heat of the day, I can easily alter how long and often to set my unit. Unit arrived well packaged. Inserted the batteries. Set the timer. That was easier than I expected. I did use plumbers tape on the two outlets before attaching anti-siphon valves that I had also used plumbers tape on. Attached the hoses easier with the tape being applied. I did have difficulty attaching to the spigot. Not a problem with the unit just the spigot. Once I applied plumbers tape to the spigot the unit attached quite easily. Turned on the water and found I just needed to tighten the hoses a little further. Ta da! No leaks. Looks like I may be able to keep my plants alive now and they can avoid getting mildew. Wish I had gotten this before all our hot weather as I was spending a lot of time watering. Leaving the second half for the hose to keep the birdbath filled. When I need to water the other section of flowers it will be a breeze to set that timer and I can spend my time doing other things. Really looking forward to using this unit. Very user friendly.

Received timer, but found it did not shut off. The ground was flooded. I hope this is not an ongoing issue because I’ve used these for a long time. This one was not good.

Worked well for one summer. Just went to use it and the screen no longer works. I'm going to look for something that's completely manual. Update: As I was throwing the device into the trash I saw the label on top which stated that it must kept out of freezing temperatures. It was an extremely cold and brutal winter and I left it attached outside. Therefore, I take full responsibility for the device no longer working and I have increased my rating.

It finally expired today after 8 years of use. I left it outside last winter, not connected, but still. Since the spring, it had a slight water drip internally, and I think internal corrosion finally did it in. It was a good run, always reliable. And these are easy to program. Had I brought it in for the winter as I typically did, it may have made it to 10 years.

The first time it broke, I assumed it was user error. The second time proved it’s a design failure. The unit works fine until you actually go to use it. Today, I pulled it out, tried to install it, and the cheap, flimsy neck at the connection point snapped off from nothing more than hand tightening. That’s not a fluke, that’s bad engineering. I won’t be buying another one and will be looking for a brand that builds something durable instead of disposable.

Rugged and works like a champ

I purchased two units for my front yard and backyard. The products are of high quality. Both performed satisfactorily. One unit experienced an issue with the OFF function shortly before the warranty expiration date. I contacted the seller via their website and provided the Amazon receipt. The seller's virtual assistant promptly issued a $50 coupon code for a replacement, which allowed me to obtain a new unit within a week. The service was excellent and professional. I would consider purchasing from Orbit again in the future.

Generally a useful and easy to set and use timer. However they last a bout 2 years. Internal mechanisms fail. We remove batteries, and store inside every winter. Valves become stuck open or stuck closed. The valves just give out. Electronic are consistent and reliable. You can hear relays engage & disengage, even after valve failure. We will be buying our 4th unit (3rd replacement) because cost for 2 years of watering convenience is acceptable. There is also the versatility to move sprinkler to where they are needed vs. the underground/fixed sprinkler watering systems

Excellent timer gives a long battery life and precise timing. Good flow as well.

This is a great, easy to use, hose timer. I have purchased several of these for each hose spigot at my home, and have essentially created my own DIY sprinkler system, leaving the same sprinklers in place all summer long. These timers are easy to program, and withstand the harsh summer elements (heat and rain) with ease. Batteries typically last 1.5 seasons.
