Comment on Review of a Couple of Brands of Sprinkler Timer / Watering Timers by Tom H.

Some Options for Sprinkler TimersI have the “orbit” 49 dollar version which had the VIGORO brand name on it. This unit seems to have a mind of it’s own! I set the front lawn timer for 6 AM and at a duration of one hour. The back yard is set to come on at 7 30 AM and last for one hour. Here’s what happens instead. The front goes on at 6 AM lasts an hour then the back comes on at 930 and shuts off after one hour. nO big deal except that the front then comes back on and lasts another hour! A few days ago the back came on again after the front went off and wouldn’t shut off at all! Grrrr! I have pressed “reset” button with a paper clip and tried every combo of settings that you could well imagine. Same result! Very frustrated but I cannot go away for two weeks and let my prize winning lawns/veggie garden dry up! What gives?
