Orbit Mechanical Hose Watering Timer

I use this attached to my laundry faucet in order to add a misting system that went out the window to the kids place set outside. This has been a really awesome choice! I love that I can put it on a timer. I love that I can Manually turn it on and off. It’s worked really well for us! It was also very easy to install. I haven’t had any issues with leaking. Although I have used some plumbers tape to seal off the attachment holes.

I bought one for my in-laws after I got mine. Works great, super simple and perfect price compared to the expensive WiFi ones I got that broke after a year or two.

I like these. I bought them for almost all my spigots around the property. I do wish they came with a start time of 5 minutes vs the 15. Also some of them leak when on, out of various parts but hold tight when mechanism shuts off flow. I might try playing around with them so see if it’s a tightening issue, thread, washer, or just overall design. I’ll update if they hold out through winter, a couple I use every day.

Works great, well made! Would buy again! A simple mechanical device which helps water the plants.

I have a cistern for our water supply and it only gets about 1 quart per minute intake. I still try to water around the house once in a while, in my very rural, arid climate. Unlike other brands I've tried, some taking batteries, others using the water pressure itself to make the mechanism work, this one is just a basic timer. You can also turn it on without the timer function if for some reason you want the water to continuously run. I usually set mine to run for 15 minutes first thing in the morning, make coffee, and it has never failed to shut off as expected. This is critical for us because if the water is left to run and I forget, our entire house will literally run dry. This is a life saver for my use case, and I actually have a small patch of green lawn in the middle of the summer now.... a first where I live. I didn't want to have to worry about batteries or electronics. Keep this dead simple, as they did and it just works.

Simple and Reliable Water Timer That Just Works The Orbit 62034 mechanical hose timer has been one of the handiest garden tools I’ve owned. I picked it up years ago and still use it regularly—it’s as straightforward as it gets. No batteries, no programming, no app—just turn the dial like an old-school egg timer and walk away. You can set anywhere from 15 to 120 minutes, and it reliably shuts the water off when time is up. I’ve used it with sprinklers, soaker hoses, and even to fill stock tanks. It’s saved me from countless “oops” moments where I’d forget the water was running and waste hours’ worth. It also has a manual “on” option, so I don’t have to disconnect it when I want the faucet running continuously. A couple of tips from experience: * Don’t leave it baking in direct sun day after day—it’ll last longer if you shade it. * Make sure the washers are in good shape to avoid drips at the connection. * It’s not as precise as digital timers, but for everyday lawn and garden watering, it’s more than accurate enough. For under ten bucks, it has saved me far more than that in water bills. It’s one of those tools that feels like it should be in every garage. Bottom line: A simple, inexpensive, and reliable way to make sure your sprinklers shut off when they should. Perfect for anyone who wants hassle-free watering without batteries or electronics.

I got tired of finding half-dead plants because the batteries ran out on my water timers. I found these egg-timer types and they work great! I sometimes have to run them twice a day in summer since I live in AZ, but that's okay. It's better than not watering them at all, and it's better than a $300 water bill because I forget to turn it off. While it's not completely hands-off, that's okay. It's very affordable as well, which is another bonus. Unfortunately, the latest one I bought doesn't work. It does not turn itself off. It worked for about two weeks before it stopped turning off. I can hear it ticking like it's supposed to, but the gears are apparently not connected or something, because it just runs until I have to turn it off manually. I'm pretty disappointed.

This failed after about 8 months (the timer was set for 60 minutes and it never stopped), but getting a warranty replacement was very easy on the Orbit website. I upgraded to the metal Pro version when I did the warranty replacement.

Great

Made well. it works

Muy bueno, resistente y lo mas importante no tira agua, funciona perfectamente como debe

This is a very good product, it's simple and it works

Einfache mechanische Bewässerungsuhr als gute Alternative zu den überteuerten Gardena-Uhren. Zur Sicherheit habe ich die Uhr "überdacht" , um ein Eindringen von Wasser auszuschließen. Meine alte Gardena - Bewässerungsuhr hat auch deshalb ihren Geist aufgegeben.
