Q:Does the screw on to the faucet outlet?
by|Jun 5, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  No, the RBC 8000 is designed to be plumbed into PVC pipe and will not fit on an outdoor faucet. For a tap timer I would recommend our model BO9D, BO9DB, BO92A, or the Bluetooth BOHE-BT. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our technical service/product support team at 1-800-322-9146 or tech@digcorp.com.

        Answer This Question

        A:  I would recommend pulling the batteries out of the controller for 30 minutes, this will do a full reset. If this reset does not fix your issue, please contact our technical service/product support team at 1-800-322-9146.

          A:  Batteries need to be replaced 

          by|May 12, 2023

            A:  If you don’t have multiple or short start times set, then it is probably a defective timer.

              Works very well for daily morning watering of the lawn. No need to do calendar, just set it for once a day.

              I'd buy it again
              I can't speak to longevity, since I'm reviewing this only a few days after I installed it. But I can review some features: ^The main body is tough enough to withstand screwing the fittings in very tight with wrenches. What I mean is that the body didn't crack or break when lots of pressure was applied to the threads. ^The instruction manual is quite clear about how to operate this unit. You know how some manuals are hard to read because it's translated badly from Chinese? Well this seems to have been written by someone who knows English very well and has actually operated the unit. ^Installation of batteries (not included) is very simple. ^Programming the unit is easy. ^It has a nice cover over the screen and buttons to keep dirt out. ^So far it works exactly as it should. ^The control unit has a spiral cord similar to an old phone cord. This allows a user to remove it from the body to a more comfortable position for programming. This is a very nice feature.

              This product saved me $1000. I have two valves on the far side of my property. When digging 1000 feet away from those valves I disturb the electrical line thus my old valves stoped receiving power. Simple fix with the Dig battery operated valves. The programing is easy, would highly recommend.

                Timer works but electronic valve was not strong enough to actually release water. Unfortunately the gardener threw out the box after install or indefinitely would have returned it.

                Display disappears
                I own 2 of these and another dig controller and all 3 I have to constantly check to see if still working. The display goes dark or the time is flashing. Constantly resetting the time and keep shutting off or flashing. Some times it is on for several days. Today since it was flashing I reset the time and date. Turned on the manual which should have run for a hour. Checked back several hours later and it was still running and display was dark. Had one replaced last year and still has issues.

                  GET THE WARRANTY
                  Bought FOUR of these a couple of years ago and they worked great at first, solved my problems for battery operated sprinkler timers. Then last year the "Anti-siphon diaphragm assembly" started to fail in all 4 units. Now one of the units is totally dead and the other 3 are failing in other areas of the assembly. I'm going to just trash them all at this point and replace with some other solution. $80 a pop is ridiculous to have them fail after 1-2 years. So yeah, get the warranty!!

                    I had to return two of them for differing issues. Valve #1 had been installed previously and would not activate the water turning on. Valve #2 leaked underneath. Valve #3 appears to be ok

                    Malfunctions after a couple of months
                    Bought and installed in April 2022. Worked well for ~1 month. Now once every ~4 waterings it fails to open correctly and all the water gushes out through the valve instead of being directed down into the pipe. I have to turn on and off a few times and then it corrects until the next time if malfunctions. Is there a way to fix this? What do I do? Please help.

                      California weather, and they reset back to where you have to reprogram time, and date etc. then clean the contacts. Oh, & yes the batteries were only 7-8 months, 50% of them last 2 years. But I change every February. I have purchased over 40 of these various types from DIG through Home Depot & other distributors.
