They’re simple to use and have been more rugged than expected for point of use watering needs! I install them with pvc unions to make them replaceable (if required) but after 2 years they still perform flawlessly!! Review: Easy to program and run! - These work well. The complaint might be they get too much for them. I walked into a deal at desertcart and bought a few for depth while the price was temporarily reduced. ## Features - AUTOMATIC WATERING SYSTEM - Turn your hose faucet into a programmable sprinkler system with our easy-to-install and use sprinkler timer. - SAVE WATER AND MONEY - Forget about dead plants and wasted water with our irrigation timer.

I still don't know WHY, but it turns out Melnor DOES make a timer that can be programmed to turn on up to 24 times per day! Granted, it doesn't meet the asker's need of every 5 minutes, but it's a heck of a lot more than the standard max of 2 or 3 times per day. Who knew! It's the Melnor Automatic 2-Outlet Hose Timer. Home Depot carries it for $39.97. It's presently out of stock both in-store and online, but here's the SKUs for when the CovidApocalypse is over: HD Internet #203062299 HD SKU# 557869 HD Model # 557-869 **Q: Can the timer be programed to operate for longer than a week? I have a new lawn and I'm going away for two weeks.** A: Once you set your program - it will last as long as the batteries last. Get some extra-strength batteries and you should be ok for two weeks. **Q: Can I hook this timer up to a rain barrel, gravity fed system? Or will it require a pressured system?** A: I have a three valve and a single valve unit that I use with a drip feed system. The three valve unit water supply is fed thru a boiler fill regulator that I have set to provide 10 lbs of pressure . A typical setting to multiple 1/2 gph emitters is on time 4 minutes / every 12 hours. The single valve unit is attached to a vented gravity feed tank that delivers a Calcium Nitrate solution through separate emitters for 4 minutes once every 7 days. I use this to grow Seascape strawberries year round in my basement in Anchorage Alaska. My experience seems different from some of the reviews I've read here but for me they have worked at whatever pressure I've chosen , and the batteries in the 3 valve unit lasted at least 6 months- they might last longer but I replace before failure (seems like a good idea) I don't work for Orbit, these products have just worked for me. **Q: How does the rain delay work? Is there a sensor?** A: No sensor-this is how to use rain delay: When in AUTO , press + button for 24 hrs, 48 hrs, or 72 hrs. Screen will flash between clock and hoursremaining before programmed cycle resumes. To remove rain delay, turn dial to OFF and then back to AUTO. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple, low cost, and fairly rugged as a point of use watering controller! *by D***H on March 30, 2026* I love these controllers - I have 3 covering different landscaping needs for my front, side, and back yards! They’re simple to use and have been more rugged than expected for point of use watering needs! I install them with pvc unions to make them replaceable (if required) but after 2 years they still perform flawlessly!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to program and run! *by J***M on March 26, 2026* These work well. The complaint might be they get too much for them. I walked into a deal at Amazon and bought a few for depth while the price was temporarily reduced. ### ⭐ Stopped working after 2.5 months while I was away on a trip and almost killed all my plants. *by M***L on August 2, 2024* It was great until it stopped operating the valve. All the program settings were still there but it just wouldn't turn the valve. It displayed a low battery indicator, despite only having run once a day for 2.5 months. I replaced the batteries. The battery compartment had water in it despite appearing to be well sealed. The battery indicator was still low and it still would not operate the valve. I was depending on this to water my plants while I was away and my plants were near death when I returned. Some were dead while others were shriveled but still green and may or may not recover. I looked up Orbit's warranty. They have a website with a chat bot that takes down your information and then says it's sending a gift card to your phone with a code for a new one at the Orbit website. The gift card number it sent was "None" and it did not work to purchase anything. I tried to talk to the chat bot again but it had vanished. I reloaded the page and went through the same thing again, then complained to the chatbot but it did not respond after saying it was sending me a gift card. Not sure I want another garbage timer that's going to kill my plants while I'm away. In short, get this timer if you want to invest years into grafting and growing your own plants only to have them killed when you go on a trip because the irrigation timer failed. I added a photo of one of them taken after I'd gotten to work in the middle of the night trying to resuscitate them instead of sleeping before work tomorrow. I'm glad I checked them as soon as I got in instead of waiting till the next day, but still extremely upset about this. I think orbit should buy me replacement plants at least for this but it still wouldn't really replace them because these are my plants that I grew from seeds and grafted myself. If they can even get the same kinds, those would be plants someone else raised. These are my babies. Those bastards hurt my babies! Update: Almost all my plants look like they've recovered well. I managed to speak to a human at Orbit and they are sending me a replacement. I took apart much of the broken one. It was full of water inside. The vulnerability appears to be where the LCD screen mates with the housing. Pushing the battery compartment in and out creates pressure that squirts water out around the edges of the screen. I'm going to put something, maybe epoxy, around the edge of the screen to try to prevent rain getting in to the new unit. ## Frequently Bought Together - Orbit 62061Z 1-Outlet Programmable Digital Hose Watering timer - Orbit 58573N H2O-6 Gear Drive Sprinkler (Sprinkler on Spike) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/675372-orbit-programmable-digital-hose-watering-timer-1-outlet-battery-powered](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/675372-orbit-programmable-digital-hose-watering-timer-1-outlet-battery-powered) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
