Thanks so much for this! Neither the written instructions or the other videos actually show in any detail how to install the timer. Also, I'm going to use your idea of using a couple feet of hose to move the whole timer away from the main spigot.
Best to add a copper splitter to hose bib, then attach Orbit manifold to either side of splitter. Hook hose up directly to copper splitter and you get the full use of your hose, rather than the pressure reduced stream.
Adam, if you turn on the manual value and turn it off again, does water spurt out of station 1 and or station 2, like it's purging water from the timer? Thanks.
I have 55psi at the spigot. I have 6 pop ups on each station. When I install the timer the pops raise about 1/4" with hardly any water coming out. When I install the line directly to the spigot the pop ups work just fine. Whats the problem?

does station 1 stand for the middle outlet? and the station 2 for the right outlet???

Can you program it to water the lawn say every 6 hours or every 5 hour or is one day the minimum?

Not enough PSI to run water through 6 pop ups. Split the pop ups into smaller groups. Hope this helped.
It automatically detects the rain right?
No, you manually delay settings if you expect rain that day.
