Orbit 56233D 3-Outlet Digital Watering Timer, 3 valves, Black and Gray

This is the best water timer I have owned. I love that it has 2 different zones, plus a manual on the side. The manual controls are great because you don’t have to set a timer, just turn it on and off. I have 2 of these hooked up to multiple drip lines and sprinklers. They have never let me down. It is easy to set up once you get the hang of it. I watched a YouTube video that helped me a bunch. Super easy to readjust the times and frequency of the watering. I’m going to get one more. I have had one for 2 summers and still going strong.

Able to program two separate stations. Works well. This replaced the exact same one I had for a few years until the calcium in my water made it unreliable. When this one finally gets too gummed up from Our hard water I’ll buy another. Also convenient to have the extra port for using a water hose.

The Orbit 3 Outlet Digital Watering Timer is a great value at less than half the price of many competing products on the market. I did a fair amount of research before I settled on this particular timer and have not been disappointed. Although I used the product for only several months this summer to help keep my newly sodded lawn alive, it was dependable and worked as advertised. The unit is extremely user friendly and no manual is needed to understand the settings. Note that only two outlets are usable as timed outlets...the third outlet is available only as a manual override watering option. The only drawback is the lack of time settings...each outlet allows for every 6 hours, every 12 hours, every 24 hours, days, etc but for some unknown reason the outlets cannot be set for an exact time outside of those settings (for example if it is 9AM now and you water, the only next watering times are either six hours later (3PM) or 12 hours later (9PM.). Nevertheless, it is a very good unit and has held up so far; it is rather more substantial and heavy than expected so make sure you mount it to a wall, or have it supported somehow (mounting hardware included). 5 out of 5 stars for build quality and ease of use with 4 stars for odd timing capabilities. However, I recommend the unit as its ease of use and build quality easily outweigh its minor quirks.

I bought all three timers for my house. I first got the one outlet and loved it. I then got the two outlet and loved it. I finally bought the three outlet. All three of their products work so easy. Not confusing. I tried the melnor 4 zone and returned it because it was too complicated and didn’t do what it said. I will buy these again. Great product, well made, and super easy. The only thing I got confused on was I thought it was 3 zone but what’s cool is the first outlet is Manuel so u can still get water without detaching ur timed hoses. On the side u flip it on and off. I was initially disappointed but then was happy to have it because I still have access to my outside faucet. Buy it u will be pleased.

I am extremely disappointed. I bought two of these some time ago and I hooked it up to water four rows of corn (60 stalks) and green beans. The second one to a watermelon patch and my Giant Pumpkin patch. I have a bad back, 10 fused vertebrae, so the mechanization of the watering would save me the pain of walking and standing while I water. I was very happy with the way these worked out. I initially checked them every couple days to check for leaks or continual watering. Worked fine. Then one day I checked to see when the Pumpkins were going to be watered, so I could fertilize and crap. The Timer was zoned out. No time, no set watering time, no length of watering. NOTHING. Batteries were fine, we had no rain, so trauma to the device. So I figured I must of done something to make it zero out. They continued to water just fine. So I bought another timer to water the peppers and the watermelon patch. I took the one that was watering the watermelon and moved it to the Giant Pumpkin and a new patch of 60 stalks of corn. Everything was working great. My pumpkins are around 120 pounds and my corn had tassled and my corn was formed and about two weeks away from picking. Timers working fine. I left for a week and had my timers set. When I got back about 10 of the small pumpkins about 5-7pounds were shriveled and the leaves drooping, my corn was looking dry and droopy and I checked the ears and they look dry. I thought someone must have turned off the water. Wrong. I got to the timer and it had zeroed out, just like before. I just can not believe this. Now it looks like I will loose 60 ears of corn and those small pumpkins that I was planning on growing to be my moderate, carving pumpkins. I am so disenchanted that first these did not work as described but actually made me lose two of my cherished and hard earned crops. All I can say is beware.

Super easy to set up and use. I actually purchase another for the front yard. I have set up to drip lines and the extra value allows me to keep an additional hose in there for watering my container plants clean up projects.

It worked great for 1 year, 4 months, but in all fairness, I had it exposed to the Eastern side of my house which gets intense sun every morning. I think the electronics eventually got fried in the sun. It completely malfunctioned, meaning I couldn't even set the time, let alone set up the timers (length of time, zone, time to water, etc). I called Orbit customer support and I sent them the Amazon invoice for proof of purchase. They gave me a $75.00 coupon. I bought other products from Orbit. I won't buy this sprinkler/timer again. I will however, cover my new Sprinkler timer (that I bought from a competitor) with cardboard to "shield" it from the morning sun.

After doing some research I chose this digital watering timer from Orbit. Turns out I did good. I chose the 3 valve version to make it futureproof. I needed a watering timer to save my veggies in summer while I was away on summer trips. This timer has a solid build and is very straightforward and easy to use. The functions are clearly labelled and easy to control. The display is very big and clear and tell you exactly what is configured. Mounting was easy as it came with a steel rod to attach to the wall to secure the timer. I am using the timer in combination with the Andrews 50-Foot 2 Tube Sprinkler Hose 10-12348 and it is working well. I have set the timer to turn on at 7 AM every day for 7 minutes every 12 hours. Although this is a 3 valve timer, only 2 valves work with the timer and the third is a bypass valve. I have been using this timer for 2 months and it is working so well I seem to have forgotten about it. The timer is big and I have covered it with a cloth to avoid any attention from curious passerby. This timer gets the job done.

Superb solid bit of kit, with a side by pass tap.

Lo acabo de poner a trabajar ayer y funcionó muy bien, y sin fugas

This is a fantastic outlet and very easy to set up and use. It features nice big writing so it is simple to see from a short distance away. I love that I can have a separate hose to use manually without disrupting the timers on my watering system.
