Orbit 62034 Mechanical Water Timer for Lawn and Garden Watering

These things are great. This one in particular is inexpensive and does the trick. I have to water the new sod patches in sections. This timer makes it easy: place the sprinkler, set the timer for an hour, and go do something else. I don't remember if there were any instructions or even a box. The only thing for special attention is the little black tab under the edge of the dial at the OUT side of the unit. Press it down to disengage the dial so the dial will turn easily to the desired setting. No batteries, non-rusting plastic, easy to read dial, durable outside, and priced right. Just what I was looking for at a great price.

I use this attached to my laundry faucet in order to add a misting system that went out the window to the kids place set outside. This has been a really awesome choice! I love that I can put it on a timer. I love that I can Manually turn it on and off. It’s worked really well for us! It was also very easy to install. I haven’t had any issues with leaking. Although I have used some plumbers tape to seal off the attachment holes.

I like these. I bought them for almost all my spigots around the property. I do wish they came with a start time of 5 minutes vs the 15. Also some of them leak when on, out of various parts but hold tight when mechanism shuts off flow. I might try playing around with them so see if it’s a tightening issue, thread, washer, or just overall design. I’ll update if they hold out through winter, a couple I use every day.

Orbit is getting a five star rating from me because of how they made things “right”. I bought this product last year, used it and loved it. It worked without fail. But sometimes things go sideways and it stopped working. I went online, found Orbit, customer service, made a phone call and told them about my problem. They are replacing my unit at no charge. The process took less than 10 minutes to complete. They have a customer for life!

Simple and Reliable Water Timer That Just Works The Orbit 62034 mechanical hose timer has been one of the handiest garden tools I’ve owned. I picked it up years ago and still use it regularly—it’s as straightforward as it gets. No batteries, no programming, no app—just turn the dial like an old-school egg timer and walk away. You can set anywhere from 15 to 120 minutes, and it reliably shuts the water off when time is up. I’ve used it with sprinklers, soaker hoses, and even to fill stock tanks. It’s saved me from countless “oops” moments where I’d forget the water was running and waste hours’ worth. It also has a manual “on” option, so I don’t have to disconnect it when I want the faucet running continuously. A couple of tips from experience: * Don’t leave it baking in direct sun day after day—it’ll last longer if you shade it. * Make sure the washers are in good shape to avoid drips at the connection. * It’s not as precise as digital timers, but for everyday lawn and garden watering, it’s more than accurate enough. For under ten bucks, it has saved me far more than that in water bills. It’s one of those tools that feels like it should be in every garage. Bottom line: A simple, inexpensive, and reliable way to make sure your sprinklers shut off when they should. Perfect for anyone who wants hassle-free watering without batteries or electronics.

Excellent timer! Bought 2 and use them for watering front and back yards. Work really well and so reliable can trust them to shut off 100% every time.

Great item very easy to set up we love it because we don’t have to stay watering the plants out side on the hot weather. Just set it and forget it! 😆

For the price, these are hard to beat. I have purchased 20 of these over the past 10 years and use them a lot. They are totally mechanical and don't require batteries to operate. The only problem that I have with them is that after a few years, they quit and don't appear to be reparable. I am pretty good at fixing things ,and I have not yet figured out how to repair these.
