Have years of experience with these types of timers, this is the best model I've used yet. Fully programmable, but the best part is it doesn't shake the whole house like some models do when it shuts off, it has a soft close valve I guess. Nice.

Shame on you Orbit.. I've been an Orbit fan for a very long time and use Orbit products every day.. for the most part Orbit is known for quality. Totally missed the mark on this 56619. The electronics are fine, easy to use, reliable.. IF you can prod poke twist and bend the battery tray contacts so that the battery's actually make contact with the tray assembly. Problem is, the tray contacts sit in a deep groove, and the battery doesn't reach deep enough into the groove to make physical contact. Very hard to see, but the VOM tells the story well. Bend ALL four of the tray contacts to the top of the groove and it works. Then, the Valve Assembly cracks! Just under the actual micro-valve inside, the valve body cracks, water leaks past the valve and the hose runs on forever. Not full flow, it's just a cracked body, but it never shuts completely off at that point. The battery case problem is from engineering, either the grooves are too deep, or the contacts are shaped incorrectly for the deep grooves. The valve body seems to be cheap materials, or a material not stress tested in this environment. Overall this 56619 is a failure, scrap them ALL! Read full review

These one zone watering timers are ideal for drip irrigation systems. I'm using two in my large vegetable garden. Especially good for thirsty tomato plants. In hot weather you can program them to run every 4 or 6 hours for your specified time. In wetter times, they can be programmed to run every or every other day. I cover the units with small plastic tubs from the dollar store to protect against UV damage. These timers are also great for keeping water available to outdoor pets and small livestock.
