Orbit Programmable Digital Hose Watering Timer — 3-Outlet Controller with LCD & Rain Delay, Battery-Powered

The Orbit Programmable Digital Hose Watering Timer (3-outlet) automates outdoor faucets so you can schedule, control and pause watering across three hoses with an easy-to-read LCD and built-in rain delay.

Turn a single outdoor spigot into a dependable, multi-outlet irrigation controller that delivers consistent watering for lawns, garden beds and containers. This battery-powered Orbit unit combines simple digital programming with water-resistant construction and a three-valve manifold to run separate hoses or drip systems on independent schedules. It’s engineered to reduce manual watering, support efficient water use and make seasonal adjustments fast and straightforward.

How do I set separate watering times for each outlet?

Each of the three outlets can be programmed independently so different areas receive the duration and frequency they need. Use the intuitive LCD interface to assign start times, watering length and repeat intervals for each outlet without wiring or complex setup.

• Independent schedules per outlet: unique start time, duration and frequency
• Clear LCD and simple push-button controls for quick programming
• Battery-powered operation avoids electrical installation
• Manual override available for ad-hoc watering between programmed cycles

Will the rain delay prevent wasted water during storms?

The built-in rain delay pauses all programmed cycles for a set period so natural rainfall can handle irrigation needs. You can choose 24, 48 or 72-hour delays to avoid unnecessary watering and conserve water after heavy precipitation.

• Selectable rain delay: 24, 48 or 72 hours
• Temporarily suspends all three outlets without altering your saved schedules
• Quick cancel option to resume automatic watering immediately
• Helps avoid overwatering and reduces outdoor water waste

What makes this unit durable and easy to use outdoors?

The timer is built for yard use with a water-resistant housing and a display designed for outdoor visibility. Long-life batteries power the unit so you won’t need mains hookups, and straightforward controls minimize time spent programming or adjusting schedules.

• Water-resistant casing protects controls and electronics
• Large LCD screen for clear schedule readout in daylight
• Battery-powered for flexible placement and simple installation
• Compact design mounts directly to standard hose bibs or spigots

How precise can I get with watering frequency and duration?

The timer offers flexible options so you can match watering to plant type, soil and seasonal needs. Set durations and frequencies in practical increments to avoid over- or under-watering and to create staggered cycles across multiple areas.

• Adjustable run times to suit lawns, flowers, shrubs or containers
• Multiple daily or multi-day scheduling possibilities for each outlet
• Manual start and pause functions for immediate control
• Stored schedules remain intact during rain delays or battery swaps

Who is this for? Homeowners, gardeners and property managers who want reliable, low-effort irrigation control for multiple hoses will benefit from the Orbit 3-outlet digital timer. It’s a practical choice for landscaped yards, vegetable gardens, flower beds, raised planters and small drip systems where consistent, efficient watering matters but complex controllers or wiring are not desired. If you need straightforward programming, independent zone control and a rain-sensing pause option in one compact, water-resistant unit, this timer is designed to simplify outdoor watering while saving time and water.
