Finally, an intelligent garden timer, August 31, 2008
This review is from: Orbit 91932 Lawn & Garden 4-Station Yard Watering System (Lawn & Patio)
This a second purchase for me of an Orbit Yard Watering System. I had purchased a more robust kit at Costco earlier in the year. I use the Orbit as an automated way to manage my drip irrigation system. In the back yard I have four zones, one for each of the four stations the Orbit can manage. This more recent purchase is being used for a two-zone drip irrigation system in the front yard.
The Orbit is pretty simple to set-up but I do have to offer a caveat. It is not possible to set up the different zones (A,B,C,D) to water on different days. All four zones will water in sequence, A through D, on the given day and start time you have established. The system will allow you to establish the amount of time each zone will receive water up to 99 minutes.
All in all, although its not perfect, the Orbit is a big improvement over timers that can handle a single zone. My old backyard set-up required four individual timers on a water distribution manifold. Now a single Orbit controls the timing for all four zones. It looks better and is easier to set-up and maintain.

The Orbit System is Fantastic, July 2, 2008
This review is from: Orbit 91932 Lawn & Garden 4-Station Yard Watering System (Lawn & Patio)
I have been using this system for over a year and it works great. We travel a lot and I just set my plants out, hook up the sprinkler and it waters them as often as I want. I also have one of the faucets set up with a soaker hose for my beds and they are watered too. You can't go wrong with this unit and the price is much better than an inground sprinkler system. It's battery operated and I was skeptical about how long it would work. Well I'm on the original set of batteries and it's been over a year that I installed the system. Truly a super product.

Good Service, Price, Product, October 25, 2008
This review is from: Orbit 91932 Lawn & Garden 4-Station Yard Watering System (Lawn & Patio)
Doing a lawn renovation, which needs water every day for 2 weeks. Bought PVC pipe and sprinkler heads at Lowes and HD for a quick above-ground system - dry fitted the pipe. This product was the no-cut, no-drill solution I needed. Read the instructions and learn how to use this thing. It's very capable to handle any watering need without dragging hoses and changing attachments. Having been there & done that, I give this 5-stars!
