Questions & Answers

Do I need to turn on my faucet permanently?

1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Yes, the faucet needs to remain on for this timer to work. The timer has an internal valve that will open and close based on your scheduling input.

    Is there multiple hour setting per day.
    ByAug 31, 2025
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    This timer can be programmed to water multiple times per day under the "How Often" setting. While you're unable to specify a second start time, you can set the program to water every 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, or from 1 to 7 days.

      What is the difference between this and Orbit model #24600? They are priced similarly, appear almost identical, but are sold through different stores.

        I currently have my sprinklers set to run once per day on a fixed schedule. Is there a way to start watering manually at the press of a button on certain days without changing or losing the existing schedule?
        ByAug 13, 2025
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        There are two ways to manual water, all stations as programmed or selected stations. To manual water all stations as programmed turn the dial on AUTO, and press the MANUAL button. “ALL” will be displayed and the timer will water all stations as programmed. To manual water specific stations or durations turn the dial on AUTO, press the MANUAL button. Press the STATION button to select desired station. Using the +/- buttons, select watering duration from 1 to 360 minutes.

            ByJul 10, 2025

              Set for zone 1at 0600 and INT, assumed zone 2 would follow one hour after. Seemed to work the first time but now does not. Do I need to set zone 2 for a different time like 0700 using B?
              ByJul 10, 2025
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              No, if your zone 2 waters on the same days as zone 1 on Program A, then another scheduled program isn't needed. If your zone 2 is not coming on after zone 1 finishes on program A, then turn the dial to Start Time and use the Station button to switch between zones. Press the + button to add a box to each zone for selection of watering. Once done, turn the dial to How Long and press the Station button so that it shows zone 2. Use the +/- buttons to set a duration, then turn the dial back to Auto.

                    Only functional for a year, but warranty/customer service was quick.
                    I am giving it two stars because it was useful for a year and only 1 year. My second year, it is leaking water below where it screws into the spicket. I was hoping it was just a washer replacement where it screws in, but the problem isn't there, it is below it, so I am not able to fix it. After this review, customer service contacted me and replaced the broken one. I increased the product rating based on the quick response of customer service.

                      I had bought 2 of these right when we started watering our yard and they work so awesome I end up buying a other one for all my yard so I have 4 total. I like how u can just push the rain delay and it automatically goes in to 24 hrs later. If u need to start all you do is turn the knob to off and back to auto and it will continue where u needed it to be at. Also there very simple to set up and only take triple A batteries.i would totally recommend this to someone that looking to set up one .

                      Lasted one year…then rusted out!
                      Easy to install, programmable feature is nice. It didn’t last longer than a year. Mine leaks all throughout the inside and rusted out. You’d think for an outdoor product working with water, it wouldn’t rust out or leak like this does. Needs some work on the inside parts.

                          The most garbage brand sprinkler I’ve ever used
                          I am on my fifth single outlet orbit in less than one year. This last one that I bought yesterday lasted 25 minutes and the screen shut off and it would operate. I called customer service and they are a massive joke. They offered no assistance and told me that “ I don’t know how the return process works and to return it to Home Depot”. It’s not Home Depot’s fault that orbit has a horrendous product, and orbits Return processes profiting off of Home Depot’s back. I will never buy orbit again. (Middle finger emoji)

                            Unable to program this for two stations using the instructions that came with it. I did find the added scrap of paper that say s "before you return this product to the store, call us." I wish they would have put that so it could be seen before unpackaging this, because I would not have purchased it. It is going back to the store tomorrow as it sounds like a lot of them have. I trashed a couple of hours messing with this thing trying to make it work according to the instructions that weren't well written.

                              I purchased this and two other similar Orbit brand timers, none of them lasted more than a year. LCD displays start bugging out, making them impossible to program. Just garbage.

                                Works well initially but only for one season
                                I used this for hooking up 2 drip lines. Relatively understandable to program and reliable initially. Batteries last through summer. However, I've not had two that don't work after being stored for winter. I bring them inside the house (not the garage) well before freezing and I don't reinstall until well after freezing. Yet for 2 summers in a row it doesn't work a. Water gushes out from the unit (not the hookups). These are great if you're willing to buy one every year.

                                  Did not work correctly
                                  I bought a 2 Outlet Advanced Orbit Hose Faucet Timer. It was professionally installed to run two dripper systems. It's been nothing but trouble. The installer returned to fix the issues, and it is now leaking. We had an internal error, and now leaking from the piping and that section of pipe must replaced. The installer installs these at different locations and reports trouble with them more often than not. I do not recommend the 2 Outlet Advanced Orbit Hose Faucet Timer.
