Description

During the summer months, the plants in your garden and balcony are always thirsty. Automatic watering is the solution; the battery-operated irrigation programmer ensures the proper and economical watering of your plants when you are away or asleep, without needing to keep their care in mind.

These specific irrigation programmers operate with alkaline batteries that can last up to two years (it is advisable to change them every season) and connect easily directly to the faucet. With the same programmer, you can water different areas of your garden separately, such as the lawn, the flowers on the terrace, or the flower beds.

The battery-operated irrigation programmer ORBIT 2-station Buddy II dual output (the two lines are completely independent) with a digital display. The options are set by adjusting the time, watering duration, frequency, and then activating the function. It has a program delay function, as well as a program stop button. Watering duration from 1 to 240 minutes and watering frequency every 6 or 12 hours or from 1 to 7 days. Ability to delay watering (24, 48, and 72 hours) for water conservation. It operates with 2 AA alkaline batteries (not included).

Specifications

  • Digital Display
  • Metal Connection Fitting
  • Stations: 2
  • Operating Pressure: 1.7 – 6.9 Bar
  • Watering Duration: from 1min to 240min
  • Watering Frequency: every 6h (hours) up to every 7 days
  • Manual Watering for each Station
  • Watering Delay e.g. in case of Rain

Precautions:

When frost is expected, the programmer must be disconnected from the faucet and stored indoors to prevent frost damage.

The filter retains dirt particles, extending the life of the programmer. Clean the filter and replace it if it is worn out.

It seems to be a quality construction and if I notice anything different later, I will come back for a review correction. The programming is very easy and if someone is concerned, they can easily find programming instructions with videos on YouTube. From what it seems, it is worth every penny and more.

After a year of perfect operation, it developed a crack in one of the two outlets. Okay, you might say it was just bad luck... but there are no spare parts available anywhere. Another one will be kept in storage for future replacement parts. It's a shame, I was really excited about it. I will only go for Claber from now on...

    It worked perfectly for two years. One week after the two years, it broke. Specifically, one valve got stuck open and kept watering non-stop for a while. Luckily, I was home so the flooding was limited. Obviously a coincidence, but it seemed like it was programmed to break right after the warranty expired! From what I've read, the same thing happens with Gardena. I will try Claber.

    I have bought 5. And my brother 2. (singles and doubles) The last ones we bought unfortunately often don't stop watering. As long as I was at home and could control them, I wasn't worried. I went on vacation this summer and when I came back, I found them working. I am scared at the idea of how high the water bill will be. It's a shame because my family has been using them for many years.

    It has been working for 3 years without any issues. I haven't even changed the batteries. The only thing it needs is a yearly cleaning of the filter. It takes 5 minutes to do. Overall, very good
