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!

I was excited to set up the Orbit sprinkler system to keep my lawn looking good without the daily hassle of manual watering. The kit includes everything needed: six sprinkler heads, Blu-Lock tubing and connectors, a tubing cutter, a pressure gauge, and the B-hyve Smart Hose Faucet Timer with Wi-Fi Hub. The Blu-Lock system promises a quick installation, and I found that to be true. The push-on fittings made connecting the tubing straightforward, and I had the physical setup done in a few hours. However, the B-hyve app integration was a different story. Despite multiple attempts, I couldn’t get the timer to sync with my Wi-Fi network. I followed the instructions closely, but the app kept losing connection or failing to recognize the device. After several frustrating hours, I managed to establish a connection, but the app’s interface was not intuitive. Adjusting the watering schedule took more time than expected, and I encountered frequent glitches that required restarting the app. Once everything was up and running, the system performed adequately. The sprinkler heads provided even coverage, and the ability to adjust them with the water on or off was convenient. However, the Wi-Fi connectivity issues persisted. There were instances when the system didn’t water as scheduled, and I had to manually intervene. The concept of controlling the system remotely is appealing, but the unreliable connection undermines this feature. On the positive side, I didn’t anticipate how much I’d appreciate the automatic rain delay feature. When the system detects rain, it adjusts the watering schedule accordingly, which helps conserve water. This function worked well and was a pleasant surprise. In summary, while the Orbit sprinkler system offers a comprehensive package with promising features, the inconsistent Wi-Fi connectivity and app issues detract from its overall reliability. For those seeking a straightforward, manual system, this might suffice, but if you’re looking for seamless smart integration, be prepared for potential challenges.

This is an excellent system. All parts are easy to install. Just make sure you follow the instructions and its pretty simple. My son and I installed it within a day. It would have been better to get 150ft of tubing considering that most lawns will require that amount, I don't like the idea of having to go to Home Depot to buy it if I'm paying so much for a product already. One other issue that I had is that one of the sprinkler heads doesn't work, I've tried to get in touch with the Orbit through Amazon but haven't been able to.

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.

Pretty easy to install. The sprinklers do not throw as far as they say but they do ok. I have had to replace a sprinkler head already but it’s not too difficult to de either.
