Orbit 62041 Watering Timer, silver

You don't know what color you will get but you know the quality will be great. I like them so much I have purchased my 3rd one. I am setting up watering my garden areas and I always seem to forget to turn the hoses off. This is a super easy solution and takes away the problem and waste of water. After you screw it to your spigot,just like you would your hose, you attach the hose to the other end, turn the water on and turn the dial to the length of time you want the water to run. I use it with the 4 Way Hose Splitter, Metal Hose Connector, 2 Pack Heavy Duty Garden Hose Splitter, 4 Valves, Easy Grip, Easy to Open, for 3/4" Hose Connector, Rust-Resistant Adapter, (2, Green, 4 Way Splitter). they work great together.

It makes watering easier and it works perfect just set up time and it shuts off water after is done.

I purchased this Orbit Watering Timer (Part No. 62041) for two reasons. (1) It appeared to be constructed of metal and (2) It appeared to be of simple construction. My thought was to buy a simple timer and there would be fewer things to go wrong, and it would work for a long time. I was wrong. This timer worked for almost one summer and catastrophically failed. Here is what happens now. At the end of the watering cycle, the Orbit Watering Timer (Part No. 62041) will not shut off completely. It will not stop the water flow. The water flow is reduced but the water will not turn off completely. I put the garden hose in my pool, turned the water on full blast, and set the Orbit Watering Timer (Part No. 62041) to 45 minutes. From experience, I knew that 45 minutes of water on full blast would bring my pool to the correct water level. When I did this the Orbit Watering Timer (Part No. 62041) had been working perfectly for two months. I never considered it would malfunction. So, I left home to run some errands and never thought about the Orbit Watering Timer (Part No. 62041) again. About six hours later I turn onto my street, I live at the end of a very long, dead-end street, and I start to complain to my wife that whatever neighbor is letting their water run down the street is not the smartest, most environmentally conscious or considerate neighbor we have. Then, as I get closer to my house, I realize that I am, in fact, not the smartest, most environmentally conscious, or considerate neighbor on my street, especially after I partnered with the Orbit Company to keep my pool full of water. Of course, after parking the car, I followed the water from my street to the source and find out the Orbit Watering Timer (Part No. 62041) has been running at half flow for almost six hours. The water ran at half flow for an extra five hours and fifteen minutes. Not good, but that's not the worst part. I look up the Amazon order and find out that the Orbit Watering Timer (Part No. 62041) has a one-year warranty. Good news, or so I thought. I called Orbit. I cannot get a live person on the telephone. When you call the 1-800 number and press the appropriate buttons to file a warranty claim you find out all warranty claims are handled via online chat. I think, okay, no problem, but I was wrong again. I've attempted to file this warranty claim seven times via the online chat and am unable to complete the process successfully. For some reason, I'm randomly disconnected or after what I think is a successful warranty submission I get a message from the Orbit, ORBOT that states, "Excellent, I will pass this on to Orbit Customer Care and someone will reach out within the next business day between 7 am and 5 pm MST." As you may have predicted, it has been several days, and I haven't heard anything from Orbit Customer Care. In the meantime, the one-year warranty term has expired on my Orbit Timer. I finally decided to give up, Orbit beat me down. I have wasted so much time with this Orbit Watering Timer (Part No. 62041) thinking that surely there is someone at Orbit who cares, someone at Orbit who will do what they say they'll do, but no, that person is nowhere to be found. I also realized that if there is a person somewhere at Orbit they clearly do NOT want to be found. I still need a timer, they are really handy if they work correctly, so, now I am off to find a company that produces a well-built simple watering timer. Although this time I think I may call their warranty line first to see if a warranty claim can be successfully filled should the need arise.

It's a little difficult to go through the return process. The Orbit auto chatbot sent a redeemable code to a wrong cell number. (It didn't even ask me for a phone number!) After scouting the net for a live phone number the return was easy. Reason for return: After 6 months the body of the timer cracked allowing water to leak out during use. Used during summer only. Also, beware that the dial displaying the minutes fades fast from the sun, leaving you to guess how much to set the timer for. Otherwise, this is a really good product especially for dummies like me that forget to turn the faucet off.

Does a good job and shuts off the water when the time runs out and easy to work and saves water.

These are excellent timers and made well. However, if you have very high water pressure, they will not last if you turn the faucet on all the way. They last a long time and always are on point with their timing. I use them often to keep track of the water. I’m using in my Koi pond so I don’t overfill with City water

These are worth every penny, if you like throwing your money away get the other ones, I went through four of them, they break with the slightest pressure on them. They are significantly cheaper but what good is cheap when it lasts three times. And then brakes irreparably. These are solid metal and I am so impressed with them. I accidentally pulled the hose really hard and it came off, but it did not break, they are so well designed I was able to connect it back together and use it right away. These are well thought out. Well engineered. This is a mechanical timer, there are no batteries to replace and no circuit boards to die. They just work.

Heavy duty and metal case. Well made.

Man erwartet, wie bei diesen Geräten üblich, am Ausgang ein normales 3/4"-Rohrgewinde. Hier ist allerdings ein Gewinde mit vergleichbarem Außendurchmesser aber viel gröberer Steigung verbaut, so daß kein Anschluß möglich ist.

Trabaja bien, sin fugas, buena compra

This product has an American thread on the outlet making it useless in the UK. The thread details are conspicuously absent from the product description as well making it all the more misleading

great item! not plastic, but metal! Don't think i will need to but if i need another one or someone i know needs one I will recommend this on.
