Orbit 4 Station Irrigation Controller Model 27894
Would RecommendEasy to program. Nice informative display. The solenoid wire connectors seem a little flimsy but work. A great value if the unit lasts in Arizona heat. I intially wanted to hard wire this contoller since my old Irritrol had been hard wired, but I discovered that the power cord provided was soldered into the power connections and removing it and replacing with romex would be difficult. Orbit refers you to their website to do this but when you click on the link there is nothing there. I instead i...

Old Style but reliable

Adapts to Indexing Valve or Stations
Would RecommendPurchased 30 April 2017 - If you own the Orbit Model 27894 Sprinkler Timer (controls up to 4-zones) and your sprinkler system employs an Indexing Valve instead of individual stations, you have to trick this timer by setting multiple start times for Station 1. Works great with no problems, but I discovered that these instructions were impossible to find. 1. (Optional) You may want to start from scratch and wipe out any programs that didn’t work by pressing the “RESET” button located on the face ...
Exactly what I needed
Would RecommendSimple to use and easy to install. I bought this product to replace my previous sprinkler system timer and it does everything that my old one did but it does it even easier. I would definitely recommend this timer to anyone that has multiple sprinkler stations and wants to make their watering cycles made easier
Simple - Easy to install and use
Would RecommendI have been using this or some other variant for many many years. I had to replace the old one since I moved it temporarily and that one got caught by a rainstorm and shorted out. Replacing it with one while redoing some other irrigation - this one was as simple as the others. It was the only one waterproof too!!!
Great timer for the price!
Would RecommendIt's easy to install & works well. I've used this particular model to irrigated our backyard for the past four years. When the front yard timer stopped functioning I replaced it with the Orbit 6-station timer. It's a simple installation & easily programmed. Great product!
