Orbit 50022 Medium-Area 1-Zone All-in-One Automatic Watering System with B-hyve Smart Hose Watering Timer and B-hyve Smart Wi-Fi Hub

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*hayGreat product! I highly recommend!

Feature rich app works great with , easy instal. Love it!

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.

Great product

Terrible product. The initial package came from orbit but did not include the b hyve timer. I had to talk to customer support on Amazon to get them to send it individually. They sent me a bricked unit. They sent another one that won't pair with my phone because it has a different serial number than the bricked unit. I tried to talk to orbit customer support about this but they're only open from 8-5 Mon-Fri and not helpful at all. So the b hyve timer is basically worthless and no better than a standard timer. I cant use any of the smart watering features because the app tells me that I need to purchase a b hyve unit. On top of all this, the sprinklers themselves aren't great. The tips blow out of them constantly and they start gushing water, so the others lose pressure and don't work. Parts are hard to find for this unit as the descriptions are non existent. Skip this product and buy the rain bird. The quality on that system has so far proven more reliable over 3 years of usage for me. Bottom line - don't buy.

Works very well.

The kit comes with everything you need and is very simple to install. The setup is a bit tricky if you dont follow directions but nothing that cant be figured out. Once all is installed and setup, the app has so much features. Very user friendly.

I have the Rainbird version of this bundle as well and it has served me 6 years w/out issue (for the most part). The advantages this has over the Rainbird system is that this comes w/ easy connect bite system, a water pressure gauge, and a wifi enabled timer.The b-hyve wifi system by itself is a $65+ value and beats the timer module the Rainbird comes with.Overall, both systems function as expected with the right water pressure. A lot of folks complaining about the issues likely don't have the ideal water pressure or didn't follow the suggested installation diagrams for water to flow evenly throughout the piping.

Easy to install, push firmly to make sure it wont drip.The pattern of water distribution is a quite tricky to adjust, but after a while we get use to it

Great price, easy instructions for the wifi setup…definitely a 2 person job

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.

Easy to install

Used it for irrigating my back yard. Length of the hose was sufficient for the distance if installation. The instructions were clear and straightforward.
