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.

I purchased this to provide coverage on my lawn while we were out of town and facing high temps and no rain. It worked perfectly for ensuring the watering got done. Multiple outputs meant I could provide 100% water pressure per zone which was absolutely necessary. The only concern I had was the fact that when running the device on rechargeable batteries it would claim low battery and not operate. This meant missed a few days. When checking the batteries they came back as high charge so I’m not sure what to make of that. I even tried multiple sets to make sure it wasn’t just a bad battery. Putting non-rechargeable in retuned the unit to proper functionality. I wish it could run reliably on rechargeable batteries to help us keep down our consumption and discarding of batteries.

Programming is easy. Only allows you to set 1 timeframe per side. In other words, you can't water 2x a day a side. Works for what I need it to do but what I don't like is that my water pressure dropped with this in line. That meant that my sprinklers didn't reach as far as I wanted them to.

I bought this item in 2024, used it one summer, then it spent the winter in the house. When I tried to use it this spring, one of the stations would not start. I contacted Orbit as there was still a month left on the 12-month warranty. Although the process was somewhat lengthy, there were no issues, and they quickly sent me a replacement at no cost to me. It is a great product, and I would buy from them again.

This device wastes water. It does not know when to turn on and shut off even though timer has been set. I bought a house in Phoenix that has no backyard landscaping. Just hard clay. I purchased some trees and put in a raised garden that I was using as a test as what grows in this climate during the summer. I bought this timer as a temporary fix before I hook up my backyard irrigation to my 12 zone 24 volt Hive controller. This automated timer works some of the time. It worked for a few weeks. Watered garden 2x a day for 8 minutes. No problems. Today I took out the trash and saw my yard flooded. It had been going for hours and showed on the interface it still had 110 minutes to go. My hard clay yard turned into a slippery soggy sink your foot into the ground mess. Set the timer to off and that stopped the watering madness. That was station B. Station A is for watering my trees. It is set for every other day. This heavy schedule is needed for new trees and Phoenix heat. Problem is, the 48 hour interval does not work. It was either watering every 24 hours or not at all. It was a manual run of the timer I was using most days. I was accepting this minor glitch as still being easier that manually standing there moving from tree to tree with a garden hose. The 6 trees I bought were fruit trees and evergreen leaf trees, 2 being large laurel and live oak. Those trees were 12 to 15 years old. Required a good amount of water to get established. I set the trees on a manual 45 minute watering at 8 this morning. Coming outside at 1 pm I saw my yard flooded and the garden zone watering running for some reason. The short window for returning this bad timer closed. I do not recommend this product as it is erratic, unreliable, manual monitoring required, and most importantly wastes water. On the upside, it was relatively easy to set up the high-hopes automated timer. But alas it too had a glitch. When shifting the dial from setting to setting, the zone you are setting kept changing to the other zone. Something to be aware of in case you purchase the manual monitoring automated watering device.

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.

This is the best brand for timers. I just bought a dual outlet to replace another brand that's malfunctioning. I bought this brand in a single years ago and it's still working with zero issues. The one I'm replacing is on it's 2nd season. The one I'm replacing is kind of a pain to program. This brand is stupid simple. If I'm replacing batteries I don't want to have to look up in a manual how to program the time. No worries with this brand because it's so intuitive. If you struggle to program this unit you're the issue.

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.
