Orbit 50021 2-Zone All-in-One Automatic Watering System

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.

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.

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.

I installed this about 3 weeks ago and finally got a chance to use it after putting in turf. Very simple to install and the instructions were clear. My only sore point is I had to purchase 2 extra "T" fittings for my layout. There are enough in the kit if you don't have to branch off one zone more than 1 time. The heads took a little bit to set up for the proper direction and rotation, but got all heads done in about 2 hours after watching a YouTube video. The timer is easy to set up and has multi-day and multi-time settings. Word of advice, plan out the layout well, it will save you a headache if you have to move a head after installing.
