What Customers Are Saying
The Orbit Digital Hose Water Timer has mixed reviews. While some users found it easy to set up and use, with convenient features like a rain delay, many reported issues with the timer's reliability and durability. Common problems included the timer failing to shut off the water flow, leading to continuous water usage, and the timer malfunctioning after a few months of use. However, a few customers had positive experiences with the timer working flawlessly for multiple seasons. Overall, the product's quality and longevity appear to be inconsistent.

Didn't work after reprograming it
Would Not RecommendProgramed it, then went to change the program a week later and it could not be reprogramed. Didn't work anymore. Had another orbit timer that programed fine but leaked water badly.

Doesn’t work after a week
Would Not RecommendLike others, mine stopped working after a week. When it first turns on I get decent pressure, after about 30 seconds it slows to a trickle. I have had different Orbit timers in the past that have worked great, but this model is just very poorly made.

Orbit timer
Would RecommendThe product works as it should. Very user friendly. Very versatile. The only thing you can’t do is program each individual day with separate time intervals. If more people knew of this product they would purchase it for sure. Fairly reasonably priced for the convenience of not having to manually water. 1 ⭐️ to Lowe’s online system for double charging me and delivering 2 of these. My receipt clearly shows I order 1 and the receipt shows I paid for 1. However I received 2. After further investiga...

Does 50 minutes mean 50 hours?
Would Not RecommendI installed this timer, tested it and then was gone all day on its first full cycle. Timer turned on just fine after I left but … apparently never turned off. I’m afraid of the water bill I will get from this thing running for 11 hours instead of the programmed 50 minutes. Run, DO NOT BUY! Will Orbit pay my overrun water bill? Can I give this a negative 5 stars?
Lasted one summer then the housing filled with water.

See above
Would RecommendA good product for a fair price. Works exactly as it is programmed to work. It's a little more durable than some other similar priced items I looked at. My only disappointment is that you can only program it to come on again up to 7 hours later. For instance, if you program it to come on at 9 in the morning, you can't program it to come on after 4 p.m. (maximum of 7 hours). That seems impractical to me. Other than that, I am well pleased.
