Orbit 50022 Medium-Area 1-Zone All-in-One Automatic Watering System with B-hyve Smart Hose Watering Timer and B-hyve Smart Wi-Fi Hub

The Orbit 50021 is a great alternative to installing a full irrigation system. I really like that it includes everything needed for installation, making setup quick and simple. It works well for managing two zones and saves a lot of time and money. Just make sure your water pressure is strong enough for optimal performance. Overall, a solid and convenient watering solution.

Purchased this kit and was excited to install. To my surprise, the install was even easier than anticipated. The water pressure gage, cutter and instructions were easy to use and follow. My issues and tips: My only issue was attributable to operator error, and my tip is for the Blu-Lock connectors. They feel somewhat secure and feel to fit. Just make sure you apply additional pressure until the tubing moves inward and seats further in. It may require more effort than you originally think. Once it properly seats, you will be unable to pull the tubing out without the release. My tips: 1. Before install, apx 1 week prior, begin overwatering your lawn to prepare the soil and make it easier for your install. 2. As mentioned in many reviews, use yard stakes and secure your sprinkler head. 3. As noted in the instructions, measure your waters PSI and then determine your sprinkler head spacing. 4. (Here is where I saved a ton of time) use a half moon edger/cutter and cut along the path for your tubing. 5. Use a flat spade to increase the depth made by your cutter and create a "V", to the appropriate depth. 6. Install the system and close the edges of your "V" trench. 7. Backfill any elevation needs with Mason sand to level. 8. I used a 0° pressure washer attachment to go under a 3.5' sidewalk (it made for an easy 15 min job) 9. Watch videos on sprinkler head adjustment and then try, try, and try again... lol. Easy to adjust once you figure out how. 10. I purchased a smart water timer and it maintains the lawn, soil moisture and grass health. So far, I am impressed. The photo shown is 3 hours after install. Very easy install that took half a day with minimal disruption to my overall lawn. I am writing this review 3 weeks after install and I receive comments that no one is able to tell where the trenches were dug.

Easy to install, works well but takes a long time to get lawn watered deeply to avoid watering every day. Water pressure at spigot is high and only 4 heads used at a time. A little disappointing but workable.

I’ve had the system for a little over a year now. Awesome system. Easy to install and works as advertised. The heads are easily adjustable and have a lot of pressure even though I have the system maxed out per their guidelines. Only complain is that the one zone on the timer stopped working after the first season. For the price of the overall system, this was not a big deal. Ended up upgrading to a timer that connects via Bluetooth and everything is great now. I’ve recommended this system to many family and friends.

Work well for our small yard! Easy install.

BUYER BEWARE!! This kit comes with the GEN 1 “Bluetooth” Hose Faucet Timer and GEN 1 Hub (Watch the video they have for the difference). I did not open the Timer, brand new still in pack. I did not want to go through all of this installing myself just to add the “Older (2019)” (Which is REALLY OLD when it comes to Tech). So I reached out to Obit to see if they would be able to do an exchange, I also offered paying any difference as long as it was reasonable. They got back to me, and the answer was FLAT OUT NO. They offer both the Gen 1 and Gen 2 Timers and Hubs individually, so they really did not have a solid reason to not be able to help me out here even offering to pay the difference. It’s 2026 for crying out loud, you can order a pencil and have it delivered in 30 minutes. If a company is this incapable of processing a request, as simple as this, it tells me the costumer is not worth the hassle. I will be returning both kits I ordered and will be looking at other brands. Orbit is over rated for sure I had a fire hose type hose nozzle that didn’t last a single summer.

The price on the item was extremely reasonable when compared to other self-install systems. My three-star review is more about Amazon Customer Support than the product itself. When I received the product, the bag of connectors only had half of the numbers required to install the full 2 zones with 6 heads. Since I was only setting up 4 heads per zone and we are already hitting the 90's I went to the big box store and got 2 threaded 90s and a hose adapter to install the system. Neither Amazon nor Orbit sell the 1/2" threaded Tee connectors. Installation was super easy following the supplied instructions. While the description reports that you get 200 feet of 1/2" line, you actually get 250 feet. The extra 50 feet is a nice touch. My only warning in installing the system is in using the Blu Lock connectors. The instructions say to mark the line 1 inch from the cut to ensure proper fitment. DO NOT skip this step. The fit is tight (which is good), but the hose must be inserted in the full 1 inch. 3/4" the fitting will leak (You might consider using liquid dish soap to make it easier to insert the hose). Now for the CON: when you get your system, make sure you inventory your parts! Sometimes stuff happens by accident at factories. If you are missing anything, return the entire kit! This is the ONLY option that AMAZON gives. They reported that there is no way that they can send missing parts. Even if I had not installed the system. I would have reservations about sending the whole system back at the company's expense because they were missing a bag with 18 connectors (of which I only really needed 3) to install my 2 systems. All in all Yes, I will buy this system again when I am ready to install it in the back yard. Just be sure to inventory it when you get it.

I received estimates in the thousands, to install an underground sprinkler system. I purchased the orbit sprinkler system and it works perfectly! The complete sprinkler system came in 1 box all the parts were there and in perfect condition. The system was super easy to install after watching 1 or two YouTube videos. In one day I had a fully operational underground sprinkler system. All the sprinkler heads worked perfectly , the spray adjustments were easy and No leaks in any of the connections! Here are my suggestions do not get the kit with the wifi water timer ! I spent hours with orbit support team and it just would not work! Period! The manual timer works perfect! Lastly.. plan your loop carefully...you only get so many 90° elbows to make your turns! My suggestion is to by the bigger kit .....which i did not do..its not that much more in cost and you have a lot of extra parts!!! Any way my total cost for my new front lawn was $300 vs 1000s $300 included *the orbit sprinkler system * top soil * grass seed *hay Great product! I highly recommend!

This system is great only thing is so far I have sent back three of them. The reason for returning some is that they were Warehouse Deals and the previous owner had used it , pieces missing, hoses cut to different lengths and the people inspecting it at return don’t know their job, sorry they just need training ! So if the kit was complete without any missing parts etc. I would have used them as a complete kit would work. These kits are everything you need to successfully install the under ground sprinkler system and cut down on work for you.

Assembly of pipes is very easy, only difficult part is digging trenches for the pipe but ones that is done, it is easy to hook up and adjust the sprinkler heads. Great DIY value. When the installation is done, it is so so satisfying to watch the sprinklers work!

Great price, easy instructions for the wifi setup…definitely a 2 person job

I was measuring 40psi at my faucet and could only use 6 of the 12 sprinklers - 3 per zone. Any more than 3 on a zone (in the U design) they wouldn't come up. I had to get creative with placement and managed to cover most of my garden, but I will still have to do some manual watering in parts. Trenching for me wasn't too bad as I have just had my garden leveled and there's no grass at all at the moment. Disappointed I couldn't get more sprinklers connected as all 12 would have easy covered my whole garden. Probably wouldn't buy again had I known this was going to be an issue.

Had an issue with a cracked Sprinkler Head on delivery. Spoke to Amazon who advised we contact the manufacturers Orbit for a replacement. We received a reply from Orbit stating that they do not stock this product in the UK. They went on to advise that Amazon should not have sold and shipped this product outside of North America! Advised to raise the issue with Amazon, although the 30-day return period has passed, however, they should not have sold this product to us. As this product is not sold in the UK, Orbit do not have any stock to replace the faulty sprinkler head.
