Orbit 27133 2-Outlet Hose Watering Timer (2 Outlet Brass) - Dual Outlet Timer for Efficient Garden Irrigation

Works well. Easy to use. I use them in the summer for my vegetable garden. They must be removed before winter or they may fail. I've used this model for years.

We installed about 3 weeks ago and working great. We have 2 areas with drip, one is a large berm with about 15 bushes / trees and the second is flower beds the length of the back of the home, about 80 feet. Have one set for every other day and the second one for every 3 days, different times. I've checked it and all is working well. Easy to run manually for whatever time length you specify and if you stop the system it keeps the information you entered stored. We plan to disconnect when it gets to the mid 30's at night for the few months and reinstall in the spring.

Made watering grass seed repair areas and soaker hoses for the garden effortless. Very easy to use and a good investment for the long term. Very easy to program and also put in to manual mode. You could adjust the timer length by pressing just a couple of buttons and once you were satisfied with the watering results, just leave it alone. In case of a rainy period, one touch of a button can cancel a watering cycle for a specified period(s). This timer is literally 'set it and forget it'. This is my second season using it. Removed the battery compartment in the fall and stored this in my garage (always above freezing). I was able to use the same battery again as this timer draws very little power to open and shut the valves and keep an LCD display operating. I would caution against putting to much stress (heavy hose or hose being stretched / tensioned and connected to timer) on the connections since: 1) They are plastic and could crack with too much stress; 2) The connector is brass but it is mounted onto a plastic fitting. Too much weight or twisting could cause a break of the plastic neck at the top.My neighbor has a large garden with several soaker hoses and used a version of this water timer with multiple valves. He was very pleased with the operation and stated that he could just leave the garden alone for a week and had the peace of mind that at least the watering was taken care of without incident.

I have had this timer only 3 days. Had sod installed in our small yard and needed a timer for 2 sprinklers since we do not have a irrigation system. I do like this unit. I only wish I could have found a timer that allowed me to enter multiple start times. For this unit, you enter a start time for each station and then you can only program it to repeat (every 6hrs, every 12hrs, everyday, everday 2 days, etc.) Since I have new sod, I needed more than 2 times during the day. Watering at night would be detrimental to my sod. If I programmed for every 6 hrs, sprinklers would come on in middle of night. However, it's a short few weeks that I will need 3 -4 watering times during the day. I am using the 12 hr setting and (since I'm home to manage it) I can easily do a manual watering midway throught the day to keep the sod wet. This allows my to easily manually use each station and I can set how long I want it to run manually each time and it does not override the 12hr automatic settings. It would also be nice if I could run both stations at the same time. Only one will run at a time. I am not sure there is a timer out there that would have met all my short term needs but ultimately, I really like this timer. It is working as programmed. It's easy to program. It's easy to manually override. And I do not seem to notice any water pressure loss that others spoke of.

After one season, it was stored in the garage for the winter, when hooked up for the second season water flooded the unit and it no longer works. I have had other orbit single hose units that have lasted for years, this one is a complete disappointment.

Works efficiently and good

I like it because I don’t have to get up at 6am to start watering my lawn. Both timers are programmed for the 4 areas of my lawm & they are on time like clockwork- I love them- should have bought these long time ago!

This thing is fantastic and a great way to have your own "Poor Man's" sprinkler system without the added cost. They are becoming increasingly hard to find and they are well worth their weight in gold. The other Dual Valve Timers that Obit makes that has a dull grayish color are completely useless. Don't waste your time buying them unless you live in an area that does not rain very much. Now...this blue colored Dual Value timer is the best timer to program and setup. It’s like that commercial advertisement by Ronco Rotisserie oven where you "Set-it-and-forget-it" well it works just that well. I brought 2 of these because I have other Orbits products such as the "Complete Watering System" that has the same dark blue with blue-grayish color as this product. Both of these are worth their weight in gold and more. The battery life on these particular product is excellent based on the other Orbits watering systems with the same color. As of now, I’ve had mine for over 2+yrs and battery life is excellent even during the winter months and the unit was still going strong. But make sure you drain the water out of the units, water hoses and bring them inside out of the cold weather elements during the weather months. Nothing worse than having a cracked hoses and a busted Watering System when ya need it for Spring-time. Oh yeah, make sure you keep the instructions close by just encase ya need them or download from the orbits website as a PDF file so you can have them when ya need them.
