Product Overview
This indoor-mounted timer is so easy to use you can forget the instructions. Its intuitive zone-by-zone scheduling allows you to set watering times differently for each area of the yard, providing greener results with less water. By turning the dial to each zone, you can easily set custom days of the week, odd or even days, or a cycle number of days independent of all other zones. You can also set up to four different custom watering times of the day to water slopes and clay soils in short intervals to allow water to soak in and avoid runoff. Each zone's settings can be reviewed quickly with easy to read LED indicator lights.

How long is battery good for? Do you have to replace them.
Asked by Bob February 11, 20213
AnswersThe battery is only used during a power failure, and it basically is there to keep the clock operating so you do not need to reprogram it. The battery should last from 8-10 years. Hope this helps!

Does home depot do installation of this product
Asked by Mare October 9, 20202
AnswersDo not know if HD does installation. If not, it can recommend an irrigation company that will or find one in you local araa. It is not necessary if you are replacing an older timer. I purchased the Rain Bird 6-Station Indoor Timer to replace one that was 20+ years old. You have an existing timer, tag the wires with station numbers and any other wire connection as identified on the old timer you don't need a professional. Just make sure the power to the timer is shut-off first. I took a photo with my phone to document the old connections to be doubly safe. Remove the old timer and install the new one as instructed; it is very simple. Connect the power supply and the zone wires to the corresponding terminal on the new timer..

Asked by RobertL August 18, 20202
AnswersIt is recommended to have each valve on a separate zone. The wire terminal in the controller is designed to accept one wire for each zone.
How do you do a hard reset to get this controller back to factory defaults?
Asked by swalker August 17, 20201
AnswerIf you remove the wire bay cover, on the bottom left there is a reset button. You will need something like a paper clip to press the button since it is recessed in the housing. This will reset you controller, and you will need to them reprogram the unit. Hope this helps!

Way better than the Hunter controller. I purchased this controller to replace a brand new Hunter installed by an irrigation guy. It worked perfectly but is much harder to use. I have 3 homes with Rainbird controllers and have been happy with all three. I only gave it 4 stars because it doesn't have a slot for 1/2 inch PVC that I use to contain the wires. This is overcome by cutting the PVC for a wedge fit. Very easy to program and explain to my renters.

The Rainbird 6 station irrigation timer was so easy to install to replace the timer that we had that broke. This unit is similar to the one we replaced. I liked how easy the features were on that one so I knew I'd like how they are on this new unit.
We did take a picture of how the wires were all set up on the old timer so there wouldn't be any confusion when we put the wires in the new one.
Setting up time, date...etc was as easy as can be. Was so happy when we got it hooked up, turned it on, and the sprinkler heads popped up as they should. Have had it for about a month now and no problems at all.
The only thing I didn't like about it was how it attaches to the wall. My other unit was screwed right into the wall. This one only has the hole in the back where you hook it onto a screw. I didn't like how it wasn't secured. So I drilled another hole at the bottom and attached it firmly to the wall.

Ok, so I have only done the test run with it... and it worked great. It was easy to install and easy to program (MUCH easier than the last one, which was limited in the logic dept; and don't even think of running through your zones to check the heads....an all-afternoon irritating affair).
However, on this timer, the little tabs that hold in the wires seemed very sensitive. If I moved a wire at all, then its corresponding head popped up... ie, wire not connected. I kept hitting the wires b/c there is really no where to put them (not enough room in the little box area)...so I took the bottom off the old timer box (grey) and screwed it in underneath to protect the wires and keep them from getting pulled around. I think it should work.

This is a good timer and easy to use. I had purchased the Wi-Fi version which was nice also but the Wi-Fi connection was always buggy for me so I returned it and got this one. Basically set it and forget it. This has nice features such as odd even days button cyclic waterIng button and a water one zone now button.
