Orbit Hose Timer, Colors May Vary, 1

Leaks all over the place from the top connector thread. I ordered two and both were the same. Tried them on different taps and with different watering products attached but I gave up. I have used many different connectors and timers on taps before and understand the usual causes of leakage and how to fix them but this left me defeated. Useless.

I was so disappointed because this timer got good reviews. It was impossible to connect my hose because no matter how tightly I screwed the hose connector it still leaked. Completely useless.

I cannot describe how bad this product is. I know it seems to have a good review rating but I bought 2 of these and they were both absolutely terrible. The thing sprays and leaks all over the place. However tight I connected it - it still sprayed everywhere. And it is impossible to get the stupid thing to stop ticking. Do not purchase. Went straight back for a refund.

Top leaks badly and bottom didn’t fit any of my existing UK fittings. Rubbish

This was recommended on gardeners group I’m with. The star rating was not bad. It arrived quickly. Bad points: 1/ very hard to connect. Unless you have enough thread on the tap it won’t connect. I had to use an extra long connection to get a long enough thread. Using 2 rubber seals doesn’t work. I managed to connect it after a few weeks waiting for all the connections to arrive. 2/ once connected, the flow is weak. Considering this is the cold water mains it was almost half the strength. So it’s double the time to top up the pond. Not for me. I’m glad it works for others. I’m back to using my phone 10 min alarm😊

Simple works

No good in Japan, fittings all wrong

Made well. it works

Just hooked it up today. Hand tight, didn't use any tools. It's working great so far, no leaks at all! I honestly expected it to leak after seeing the reviews. Maybe they got a bad one or just user error.. For the price, this is excellent! It's like the old egg timers, no batteries. You can hear it clicking if you get close enough but it's a lot quieter than the egg timers, you'll only hear it if you put your ear up to the dial. Just push and hold the little black switch down and turn the dial to the preferred time you'd like it to run, release the switch and once the timer reaches 0, the switch flips back up shutting off the water. I tested it and set it to run for 15 minutes, as soon as it reached 0, the switch flipped up and the water immediately stopped. No drips, nothing. I don't have to worry about forgetting to turn the water off anymore! My wallet will appreciate this $10 fix! Haha. Also, just a heads up, that little black switch is the shutoff valve. If the water is on, as soon as you push that switch down, the water will immediately start running. Good flow, easy to install, and easy to use.

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