Sprinkler System Timer - Shovel Man - 07-07-2016

Need to replace the 30 year old timer, any recommendations for a basic unit?


Re: Sprinkler System Timer - DustyDan - 07-07-2016

I have five separate timers at the house and I used to use Toro or Rainbird but frankly the Orbitz (Home Depot) does up to 5 zones for under $30.

Their software makes sense too. I have been replacing with the Orbitz as the others fail.

So the Toro has a failure rate of more than zero? that's too many. Orbitz sounds like the winner so far.

You have 5 separate timers!!

I have a Hunter that manages 4 zones and is very easy to use. They sell a model for inside and outside installation and I paid about $80. It also has an available rain sensor so you don' t water in the rain.
