Orbit Sprinkler Kit, Blue, Black

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!

Other than the digging, it’s about as easy as it gets. Easily hooked up to my wifi and by Bluetooth. I adjusted the piping multiple times and it was very simple to undo/redo. The extra parts are easily obtained at Home Depot or on Amazon. Worth every cent.

Works great, better than I expected! I ran hose under my deck before burying to make sure the system would work as needed. The throw on the heads is a bit shorter than the chart prescribes, but it works fine. I am only using 5 heads instead of 6 (max prescribed per zone). My pressure is right in the middle of the acceptable range, although I did have an issue calibrating the app for water flow as my setup takes about 40 seconds of full water pressure to raise all the heads, longer if my other hose bib is running. Please with the setup, installed in less than 2 hours without burying. LOVE the wifi timer (but wished it worked with Smart Things). Considering expanding.

Facile d’installation mais j’ai eu quelques problèmes pour connection wifi. Maintenant c’est réglé. La façon de régler les têtes de gicleurs est un peu ardu. Mais fonctionne très bien une fois compris.

Follow instructions and this is a straightforward installation with 2 issues. It’s great that the kit came with a pressure meter to be able to tell the distance apart the heads need to be. Issue 1: The instructions for adjusting the arc of the sprinkler head were slightly incorrect. You do have to have the head in the clockwise most position, but turning the screw adjusted the arc differently that the instructions or even the video said. First the instructions said the arc was 180 degrees from the factory, but it was more like about 15 degrees. Then the instructions said 1/4 turn of the screw would adjust the arc 90 degrees, but it was more like 5-10 degrees. You have to turn the screw a few times to get it to 180 degrees. Go slow. Turn the head counterclockwise fully, then clockwise fully, hold in place and adjust the screw, then try the arc turning counterclockwise and then clockwise. DO WATCH THE VIDEO on their web site anyway. Be careful to have the top turned all the way clockwise when you install the head in the ground, this is the right most end of the arc. But its easy to move it, just unscrew the top and turn the top and reinsert. Took me a few times to get it right. Issues 2: The app had great difficulty adding the B-hyve sprinkler controller. I actually had to uninstall and reinstall it a few times. MAKE SURE your on a 2 ghz WiFi because it won’t work on 5 ghz. I almost called tech support to help, but it ended up working last try to install. Very happy with the system now. Oh buy a sod cutting step on blade and a skinny long shovel and a rake. Makes the digging way easier. Cut 2 lines with the step on sod cutter as wide as the shovel.
