Orbit 62056 One Outlet Single-Dial Hose Faucet Timer (Pack of 2)

I have 6 of these withe 1, 2 and 3 outlets They work great. Keep time for 1-2 years, then replace batteries. Really easy to program. Durable plastics under tropical sun! One draw back. Water can seep in at the batteries. Then the unit is ruined.

Absolutely 5 stars! I'm still using this same type of faucet timer that I've had for probably 10 years. I recently needed another one for the front yard as well as the back so I was so happy to see that this same faucet timer was still for sale on Amazon. It works perfectly. It's easy to figure out how to use, even without the instructions, which btw, are very well written in Englsh. I love the simplicity of it. Just turn the big knob and set the time, how long, how many days, etc....SO EASY!!! I used a little plumbers tape on the end where the hose attaches too, and some on my faucet and there are no water leaks whatsoever. I have them both running for 3 hours daily until my gardens are done for the season. I can't say enough good things about this faucet timer. Love it!!! Also, I received it the same day that I ordered it.

Seems like a good product

My experience with other timers is that they do not hold up to the elements very well, thus I am reserving a 5 star for later, if the Orbit holds up. Compared to timers I have bought from drip system supply houses, the Orbit is better priced and has more options. The digital readout is large and easy for elderly eyes to see, even on Sunny days. Options are good and cover every usual need. I didn't start thinking, "Gee, I wish there was another option" as I have with other products. Batteries are AA, which is far superior to 9 volt batteries with their dongle that is hard to use with wet or cold fingers and prone to trouble. I simply ordered a pack of Amazon brand batteries at the same time; should be enough for 2 or 3 years, the life of the timer I am hoping to experience. The product has basic instructions, but I doubt if anyone who has ever used an ATM would need them, so well-thought out are the buttons and display. As a user of timers, and they are all have this frustrating feature, the outlet pipe is a male hose connection. If you are using a hose directly to the timer, this is no problem and that is what most people probably use. Drip users need to have one or two other devices connected after the timer connection--a back flow check valve that prevents the water in the irrigation lines from draining back into your house water supply, be it from a city supply or a well. Pick one up at any local building supply or hardware that carries drip irrigation supply. While there, you may need to pick up a filter. The filter is needed to catch sediment some urban water systems can be problem for drip emitters after 1 or 2 years, blocking them and requiring their replacement. If you have never had to open up your faucets to clean off the screen inside, you won't need this. If you have a well, you do. The filter housing can be screwed in after the back flow prevention valve. The filter housings can be opened and the screens easily removed and rinsed off. Finally, if you have high pressure in your system most of envy you! But, you will need a pressure regulator that is screwed on after the filter or back flow device, or directly to the timer. The most common and adequate for MOST installations is a 25# pressure limit. This device prevents high pressure from affecting your drip lines adversely. The Orbit timer does not go in to any discussion of these other needed devices, but that is not a fault. For most users, they will not be purchased. However, it would be a five-star review if they included a female to female hose connector for those people who do decide to attach other devices in between the irrigation hose and the timer. These are available at any hardware or building supply houses and not expensive. I'm not advertising for Amazon, but all of the attachments are usually available from them. Just search for water irrigation pressure regulator, back flow valve, or irrigation filter.

I have four of these, one or two on each of my outdoor spigots, each hooked up with a "Y" so I can still use the spigot for other things, each one supplying water to a different set of plants around my house. I like this particular model --- or any of the ones that look just like it --- because they are inexpensive and easy to understand and use. Back when I had only one or two, I did leave them outside one winter and they did not work in the Spring, so take them inside and remove the batteries when you are approaching first frost and they will work the next year. (Mine did anyway.) You program them (with simple buttons) to water for a certain number of minutes, as often as you want ( every day or two or three) depending on how dry and hot the summer is. It just takes a minute to change to more or less time if conditions change. You can also push the button for "manual" and have it turn on immediately for however long you want, if you suddenly notice that you underestimated the water needs, everything is dry, and you need to give everything a little more water immediately. If you like taking vacations in the summer, and don't have some kind of automatic watering system to make sure everything is alive when you come back, I think you're missing out. I started out using a little pre-packaged system, just to water all the pots on the deck while I was gone years ago, and it worked so well that I expanded to the all the plants and gardening near the house. Setting up the tubing and the little water emitters is the time consuming part, but I do it once a year; I think the garden does better, with less time spent watering overall!

We have now ordered about 10 of these. Not to replace malfunctioning units but to keep adding to our growing landscape needs. What Ken has found out is that if he removes these from faucets and takes batteries out to store during the winter, there’s no corrosion or malfunction that might occur during months of no use. It’s a little investment in time but it seems like they are brand new and ready to make watering much simpler. Easy to set up watering schedule! We’ve used these two years.

Easy to set up and seems to be working fine Like how the operational tone can me sent to a minute verse a set block of available time.

Muito bom

Easy to set up. A bit disappointing Amazon did not deliver in time and re-scheduled to a later date.

Fácil de configurar, funciona perfectamente junto con el aspersor oscilante Eden resolvió mis problemas para regar el jardin automáticamente

Perfect for what it is intended for.
