One-Zone Sprinkler Kit

Purchased this kit and was excited to install. To my surprise, the install was even easier than anticipated. The water pressure gage, cutter and instructions were easy to use and follow. My issues and tips: My only issue was attributable to operator error, and my tip is for the Blu-Lock connectors. They feel somewhat secure and feel to fit. Just make sure you apply additional pressure until the tubing moves inward and seats further in. It may require more effort than you originally think. Once it properly seats, you will be unable to pull the tubing out without the release. My tips: 1. Before install, apx 1 week prior, begin overwatering your lawn to prepare the soil and make it easier for your install. 2. As mentioned in many reviews, use yard stakes and secure your sprinkler head. 3. As noted in the instructions, measure your waters PSI and then determine your sprinkler head spacing. 4. (Here is where I saved a ton of time) use a half moon edger/cutter and cut along the path for your tubing. 5. Use a flat spade to increase the depth made by your cutter and create a "V", to the appropriate depth. 6. Install the system and close the edges of your "V" trench. 7. Backfill any elevation needs with Mason sand to level. 8. I used a 0° pressure washer attachment to go under a 3.5' sidewalk (it made for an easy 15 min job) 9. Watch videos on sprinkler head adjustment and then try, try, and try again... lol. Easy to adjust once you figure out how. 10. I purchased a smart water timer and it maintains the lawn, soil moisture and grass health. So far, I am impressed. The photo shown is 3 hours after install. Very easy install that took half a day with minimal disruption to my overall lawn. I am writing this review 3 weeks after install and I receive comments that no one is able to tell where the trenches were dug.

For the price is amazing. Everything works perfectly. Companies were asking 2.5k and i just spent 300 plus 3 hours of my time plus 160 dollars for a massage, cause afyer all that digging you will need one. Lol

Worked great, as long as you know what you are doing when installing. Easy DIY project.

This is the easiest way to implement a sprinkler system that I have ever experienced. It screws onto a garden hose bib. The pipes are easy to cut with the included tool. The pipes push into the fittings. No glue needed. The needed trench depth is shallow at only 8”. The timer is easy to adjust and gives you a choice of every 1, 2 or 3 days. Or you can run it manually. I like how you can change the battery without having to redo the settings. Everything for putting the zone together is included in the kit. The only thing you need to supply is a trenching shovel. I installed mine in 5 hours. No leaks in the pipes. I had a problem with the timer resetting itself randomly but Orbit customer service sent me a replacement and the replacement works perfectly.

THE GOOD: This system is AWESOME! I was quoted 2k to get sprinklers installed in my front yard. I bought the small kit, took me about a 2 days to plan, dig, setup, test, adjust. I got 75psi of pressure from my hose faucet, and every sprinkler can hit about 24-25 feet if needed. I did what the diagram said and did the single hose from faucet, into a Y split, and 3 sprinklers on each. The hose was easy to use after laying in the sun for an hour, as it uncoiled a bit. The connections are easy and simple, with no leaking. Sprinklers are pop ups and easy to adjust after you get the hang of it. I can't comment on timer as I haven't used it yet. I really couldn't be more impressed. THE BAD: They only give you enough parts to complete the sprinkler kit. So if you lose a part, something gets stuck, a thread is messed up, or you want to alter it in any way you are SOL. One of the T attachments failed on me, it was the last one in line that I connected the stopper/drainer on the end. Well the stopper kept shooting off, so I went to try to switch the side of the T, and then I couldn't get the house out even though I did the twist and pull (which I did successfully on the others). Anyways had to cut the line, and was on the hunt for a new part. By the way these attachments seem IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND, and if you do they are super expensive. Home Depot and Lowes (both online) has them for cheap, but stock and selection is very limited. I did manage to find a 90 degree 1/2 blulock to 1/2 thread, that ended up doing the job. I hope the end drain/stopper isn't a necessary item. I have one at the end of one strand but the 90 degree on the other end. Time will tell.
