Orbit 58910 Digital 2 Outlet Hose Faucet Timer

I like this item.It is easy to program. The timer accuracy and display quality is fantastic.I recommend it.

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 used this to water my new grass seed twice for 3 weeks each time. After the second time of using it water was leaking out the back were the batteries were. I'm not sure why. It was left outside with the other sprinklers. I desided to purchase the double hose timer by this same company. I'm hoping with putting it in a storage container when not in use it will last longer. This worked great and was easy to use when it was working.

Worked perfect for our times away last summer. Used with a sprinkler to keep a portion of the yard with plants watered.

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.

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.

This has been a great addition to our yard and has paid for itself many times over. We had nothing but problems with our expensive built-in Irritrol (Irritating?) system over the years; it was confusing to program and something was always wrong with it, requiring annual visits from technicians that cost upwards of $100. However, just this morning I went out into the yard and it was still on two hours after it should have shut off, and there was a small flood in the yard. The problem? The batteries were getting weak and needed to be changed; they hadn't been changed since I installed the unit in the spring of 2024, and they spent a year outdoors in Phoenix, Arizona. Reinstall new batteries every year, and you should be good to go.

Easy to program. Worked great. The plastic coupler that screws onto the water spout cracked within the first month. The 2 that screw onto the hoses split not long after. It would have been better if the coupler was metal.
