User questions & answers

Question:	Can the timer be programed to operate for longer than a week? I have a new lawn and I'm going away for two weeks
Answer:	Once you set your program - it will last as long as the batteries last. Get some extra-strength batteries and you should be ok for two weeks.
Question:	Can this be programmed to spray every five minutes for the duration of one minute
Answer:	the directions you can set the water duration from 1 to 240 minutes. You can set the water frequency as every 6 hours, 12 hours, or from 1 to 7 days. Not sure if this will help you or not. I like the timer. We have them set up all over the property.
Question:	Can each port be programmed with independent frequencies
Answer:	On the TWO-PORT, each can be set independently. The Digital 2-Outlet Hose Timer also features a rain delay function designed to help conserve water by delaying watering time (for BOTH Ports) by 24, 48, or 72 hours. Programs can also be manually bypassed to allow for use of the faucet without interrupting the timed watering.
Question:	On the 2 valve system, can each valve be programmed separately or both run at the same time
Answer:	Each valve can be programmed separately, but they only run 1 at a time, even when programmed to begin at the same time. :(

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it need to have pressure for the valve to open or could it be hooked to a rain barrel (minimal pressure) and work
Answer:	The valve opens at the programmed time......even when there's no water at all. However, if the water source is a rain barrel, only gravity will be pushing water out.
Question:	what powers the timer
Answer:	Two AA batteries. I had only problems with these. The valves fail to open rendering the timer useless. I lost many plants from these timers not working.
Question:	I am wanting to water for 3 minutes every hour but just during The day like from 8am-6pm is this possible with this timer
Answer:	These are very good timers with somewhat normal watering time capabilities, but I am afraid not with sensitive enough options to offer the timing you require. Not sure if any full electric timer can do what you want it to do, but definitely no battery operated timer can do what you want.
Question:	The write-up for the melnor 65036-amz suggests that one can program 24 start times per zone per day for a total of 96 start times daily. plz confirm
Answer:	For this model you can program it to run every hour for each valve.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this product be used in the desert where temperatures can reach 130 degrees Fehranheit
Answer:	I can assure you there is no rating available as to high limit of ambient temperature at which this timer might fail.Considering cold water is running through it when valve is open, that should be a positive factor.Otherwise, you guess is as good as mine.
Question:	Can this be used on a gravity feed system? I have a 2,000 gallon free-standing tank (not connected to city water
Answer:	No. It needs 20 psi to work. One foot of head equals 0.4 psi so your water tank would need to be setting on a 50-foot tower or hill to provide 20 psi.
Question:	Can you tell me how to turn off only the right outlet
Answer:	What I do is make sure there is no 'Time" nor 'Minutes" set on the side that I don't want the unit to use. You might need a small piece of wire to insert into the TINY re-set hole on the right side of the unit. Pushing this will clear the memory and functions. Or what I do is just take the batteries out for a few minutes and set new time and duration on the line I want to use.
Question:	Can this unit be set for twice a day (12 hours apart)- everyday and then the other side be used for manual watering
Answer:	It is easy to set for one side automatic and one side manual. The issue comes when it is left in the sun. Any prolonged sun exposure ruins the components and housing very fast.

Question:	How to secure the connectors ? When the sun is bright the black tubing gets hot, expands and the connectors just start popping out from water pressure
Answer:	I set up my system in March and we had a couple of situations where the tubing popped off. I didn't dip in the hot water and push all the way in with the connections. Since I fixed them all in April as of today I've had no more connections come loose. Actually bought more line and ran more to all my potted plants. So my entire system runs through our greenhouse and all the potted plants on the patio. Haven't had any issues for the price. I have everything set on a timer so it Waters 4 times every day.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you operate each hose outlet individually, or when it turns on does water always come out of both outlets
Answer:	You set up each hose outlet individually - they are both time based.
Question:	Can this be set to water on selected days,like mon and friday.On this forum one says yes and one says no
Answer:	NO you can NOT set this to water on select days of the week like the Orbit Model 56544. Watering every 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. day, is not the same as watering every Monday and Wednesday. This device can water every second day which will mean it will water every other day regardless of the day of the week. Which also means that the watering day will eventually become a guess. REASON: The clock model in this device is not a clock/calendar. Hope that helps.
Question:	Can this be set for twice a day, everyday on one side and use the other side for manual watering
Answer:	Yep
Question:	Does this timer have 16 different schedules? And if so how do you set schedule 1, then schedule 2 etc? I would like to water ea. 30 min
Answer:	Each Outlet should cover a different zone are you run the risk of over watering an area. Each dual faucet can be set to water independent of the other. I live in Texas so I set each outlet to water at 7am and 7pm to get the maximum spread at the best time for the ground to gather water before it evaporates. The duration can be set from 1 minute to 60 minutes.

User questions & answers

Question:	Hi, Could you please let me know what size are the threads of the ends of the timer? Thank you
Answer:	Yes, The timer has 3/4 inch hose thread. If you were going to use it on the end of a pipe, there are adapters to get from hose to pipe and vice versa. As far as I know, Orbit does not have the adapters, but Home Depot, Lowes or most any hardware store sells them.
Question:	how often do I need to replace batteries
Answer:	They last quite long, as the unit itself died before the batteries did! In our salt air environment, we just replaced the unit after about 10 months. Good product!
Question:	Can this be set for any day of the week, ie, every 4, 5, 6 or 7 days? My DIG, cannot. It jumps from day 4 to
Answer:	The frequency is set by the number of days...so 1 is every day, 2 is every two days, and so on. You can also set every 6 hours or 12 hours. And you have start times as well.
Question:	Would someone kindly explain why this Orbit with a brass connector gets lower ratings than what looks to be the same timer with a plastic connector
Answer:	I personally prefer brass connectors, plastic have the potential to crack or ruin the connecting threads if they are not properly aligned; my personal experience.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work with the orbit 20066 portable 1/4-inch outdoor mist cooling system? i want it to mist for a few minutes every 5 minutes or so
Answer:	I don’t think it will work as you want. You can set it for a set time frame but then have to set for another.....can’t set for intermittent timing.
Question:	How does it hold up to freezing temperature
Answer:	I live in Michigan. I take them in if it even looks like it might freeze. I doubt they would hold up in freezing temperatures.
Question:	Does this timer have a mode that bypasses the timer feature to keep the water on all the time
Answer:	Not that I"m aware of. But at normal flow through a garden hose, it will run at about 8 gallons a minute or 480 gallons in an hour. That's a lot of water in the garden. I find the product to serve me well.
Question:	can the timer be set for less than 15 minutes
Answer:	The dial on the timer goes from 0.......15.......30 etc. so yes you could set it for less than 15 mins. I have not tried this though. This little timer is well worth the money.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone know where this timer is made? (the "origin: usa" is often misleading; by that measure mel gibson is american, not australian
Answer:	Not sure where they are made. But I am a landscaper who uses these for temporary irrigation systems a lot. These are the best, easiest, and will actually last more then one season.
Question:	How does it know when it has rained and how much it rained in order to "delay"? How long does it "delay
Answer:	It does not have a rain sensor. You have to turn a dial setting the rain delay for 24 -72 hours etc.
Question:	Does this unit have a waterproof cover
Answer:	No, but it's waterproof.
Question:	I just ordered this and I noticed if the batteries die, instead of shutting the water off, it allows the water to run. Am I missing something
Answer:	I just spoke with raindrip customer service at 888-825-4716 and the representative stated categorically that the device WILL shut off the flow of the water when the battery runs low. It won't get stuck with the valve open and waste water when the battery dies. I just had an Orbit hose timer fail and waste thousands of gallons of water so I inquired specifically about this before making a purchase. Incidentally, the technical support line answered the phone promptly - unlikely Orbit, where I waited on the phone for half an hour before giving up.

User questions & answers

Question:	What's the maximum pressure this can handle
Answer:	This can handle up to 100 psi, but we don't recommend exceeding 85.
Question:	Need timer with start, stop, frequency and duration. Reason is i want it to run only from 6am to 6pm every hour for 10 min. Does this do that
Answer:	You can add multiple start times. I do not know,or there is an upper limit to how many.
Question:	Is this the one that supports Apple HomeKit
Answer:	HomeKit compatibility promised at release at beginning of year (2018). As of June 1, 2018, still no HomeKit compatibility. Orbit needs to stop promoting the product based on HomeKit compatiblity until it actual works—and retract all those (fraudulent?) press releases online and wherever else promising HomeKit compatibility.
Question:	How does the WiFi hub connects to the timer? Is there a distance limit between them
Answer:	The timer itself has only bluetooth. The hub bridges the timer with your wifi connection. Distance should be within 50 feet if possible.
