Yes! This is the part I'm looking for. Multiple times per day.
How do I tell which zone is which?

Ah, one start time for all zones. See, none of the other videos mentioned that and it seems to have been exactly my trouble! I had it watering every hour when I only needed to tell it once! Thanks!
So far. I’ve looked at two RUclips sites vis a vis setting up my timer. Both sites have been useless. The basic setups that have been shown are simple and easy to program. Beyond that no one seems to know or care. And listening to this guy will put you to sleep.
He needs a coffee for sure, but I appreciate him breaking it down in depth, obviously could’ve been quicker but atleast he’s trying ❤
I watched three different videos and your instructions were simple slow and easy. Thank you
PERFECT, thank you. Woman 67 in Texas. You made it easy.
Thank you. I’m glad I found your channel. Exactly what I was looking for.
I just replaced my old timer with this one. Great video, all my wisdoms were answered. Thanks brother
I appreciate you showing us. I’m going to see if I can set mine
I've been looking for a video like this for months. Best one I've found to set up the programming on my system. Thank you!
You’re welcome. I appreciate your comment. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video!! I could not figure the timer out. A technician had installed and programmed it for me and my lawn and plants were blooming and beautiful. I wanted to change the settings to every other day because my lawn was growing too fast. I messed it up because it was running when it shouldn't. With this video I can finally program it the right way.
Very clear explanation, thank you
Thank you thank you. Video was very clear. It really HELP me , a female who is not technically inclined. Blessings
You are VERY thorough! Thank you very much. I think once you put in the time you want it to run, you don't need an "end" time. Again, thank you SO much!!!! I am not a technical person. So glad my friend sent me this that you recorded!
Mahalo for explaining SLOWLY!
Thank you! Inherited this system when I bought this house.
I've watched three different videos, this gentleman made it very clear and didn't rush through . Thank you.
Very well done. I now understand the ABC programs.
This was so helpful! After watching some other videos and reading the manual, your video finally made me understand the difference between setting ABC programs and setting stations. Seems like I would only need B or C if I wanted to water one zone every day and a different zone not every day.
Both you videos are the best out there in explaining this system in an easy and clear way. Thanks for your help.
I appreciate the feedback. Thank You.
Thank you so much for the info .
Most helpful, I've been struggling far too long and frustrated , but this should resolve that. Will post results of your guidance
Thanks so much for taking the time and making the effort to create this helpful video!

Hola muy buenas familia como estas? Un día más dejando mi visita y mi aportación y cono no mi gran👍👍 exelente un cordial abrazo desde LA HUERTITA DE GUILLE 🍀
Thank you good job. I missed how you change the back up battery. My timer is in a weather box. I'm not sure how to get better access .
excellent presentation
Great video… you missed explaining the BUGET selection
Very knowledgeable great stuff
I appreciate your compliment
Thank you for your helpful video .
I was wondering if you could explain one part to make sure I understand.
If I have my stations set up
to start at 6:00 am and I have my run time set for 10 minutes per station . Will it begin at 6:00 and run for 10 min in station 1, then 10 min in station 2, etc?
But I only need to set up one start time?
Yes, just one start time.
Great instructions!
Thank you
Watching here
Thank you so much.😊
You’re welcome
I really appreciate your video! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge with us!! Thank you 🙏
Very helpful thank you
Great video! I love this timer. Could you please let me know how to skip a section? I have an area that was a veggie garden and due to the water shortage I am letting it go. I can't seem to set that section to 0. Thanks in advance.
Hello, just don’t put no run time in that zone.
Very helpful
Awesome video..😂 you explained it really simple. Thank you so much.
I appreciate your comment. You’re welcome

Thanks for the video. Do you know how to CLEAR "Program B" without losing "Program A?" Would I use the PROGRAM button then hit CLEAR?
thank you very much
Good job
Thank you
thanks a lot
First thank you for taking the time to share this helpful info. One question is: Can Program A and B have the same start time? I still need more help and I have left 2 messages with Orbit and they text that they will call me back but they have not. I don't have the manual and it seems that I would have to buy it on line?? I am housesitting for someone and need help for more watering time.
Hi, you can use the same start time but it would have to b different watering days
@@escompleteyardwork2984 Thank you for your quick reply. I get it now.
My advice to people who has low water pressure. Try to program your system around 2-5 am . When you’re asleep when you’re not going to take a shower, or when you’re not going to do dishes or laundry.
Each program “A,B,C” includes the stations.
Push the “right arrow” to cycle through the stations and adjust watering times.
If the start time for the zones is the same wouldn’t all of the zones be done in 20 minutes, which is the longest you have a zone set to water for?
For your first question, when you set a start time whatever zones are on that program, you've set that start on those zones will go on one at a time as each zone runs its time out, so depending on the amount of total runtime will you know when it is all finished, 2nd question the timers will allow you many on time hours. Thanks for stopping by.
Hello there I hooked up a station timer last year and got it to run just fine but for some reason it lost the settings so I had to redo it this year and having difficulties with it. Your video help answered one of the questions. The other question is I got three zones in the yard that go off at 6 in the morning. The 4th Zone I have to go off at 4:30 in the afternoon. They are all on program a right now. Would I need to put the fourth Zone on B or C program?
4th can go on either program B or C
Thank you for making the video and for answering my questions. It was helpful.
I have 8 zones I would like for each zone to water for 15 minutes each and then start a second cycle of 15 minutes each for each zone. Do I use program A with a start time for the first 15 minutes and program B for the second 15 minutes cycle?
No continue with program (A) with start time (2) unless for some reason you timer doesn’t have additional start times, most timers have (3) start times or more
Thank you for such detailed video. I set the timer and the sprinklers never stop they go in cycles from station 1 -3 and start with station 1 again. Any idea?
Check and see if there is others start times and if there are any other programming in B or C if not your timer is malfunctioning and you need a new one
Can I do fertigation (pass liquid fertilizer) through the valves, so as to automatically schedule fertilizer application ?
Did you figure out how to fix the clock that stays behind?
Or the battery that shows empty and loses all programming after each power down?
Or did you just throw that trash away, and got a new one? Can you please inform the rest of us of the model you got?
Can you program two different start times on the same program ?
Yes, usually there are 3 to 4 start times in a program.
My Orbit 57896 timer was working great, then suddenly this morning the auto program started extra zones that aren't included in the program. We have six sprinkler zones, we only turn on 2 and 4 with the program, one at a time, 15 minutes each, but this morning zone 5 came on with zone 2. I moved the program on time so it would start again on auto, and the same thing happened, zone 5 comes on with zone 2. When I run the program manually, not using the auto function, zone 2 only comes on like the program says. Very bizzare. Maybe I need to use that factory reset and start over?
Nice video, My Orbit, (the second one) is finally working zones 1, 2, 3, on program A, but it does not stop after it has done so. Currently its, under interval is for every day , M thru Sun. My question, since it goes thru the watering cycle once then goes again without stopping, can I use INT in the programming that comes up "1 days" to make it water everyday without having to select each day, MTWTHFRI SAT SUN? Will this maybe help? Thanks for your response, Orbit Customer care really, really poor in response.
Hi yes you could do that on the INT but your time is malfunctioning and needs to b replaced
What do programs A B C mean?
How do you switch zones?
How do I set a second watering in the afternoon please! I tried the same sequence but it still wayered for 10min instead of 5min.
You’ll have to use a different program if your not going to run the same amount of time
I think I missed when u have two watering times one in the morning n one at night
At the End of the Video, it Shows that You Have A Time Set Up for 8:41 pm - But you didn't show when you set up that time. I assume it was Set Up In Program B, but I'm not sure. Every Video on You Tube seems to Only Show Program A.
How do I set up the sprinklers for only the front yard?
Can you start the timer twice a day?
Yes, you can.
How to start manual for all station
I need it to come on in the pm as well. Can you plz help me with that?
When you press enter after you’ve put your desired (1st) start time the(2nd) start mode will automatically pop up, enter your desired time , make sure you have a (PM) on the lower right side of the time placed
Thank you but I’m so over this today! It’s been frustrating! It’s blazing on the Bama Gulf Coast. Not a good time for rain bird issues.
How do I make one zone to turn three times in one day I have model #57900?
would this work off of a rain water/ water butt pressure?
Can you rephrase the question please
@@escompleteyardwork2984 can you use it straight off a water tank without a pump at low pressure. rather than a mains tape which comes out at a much higher pressure.
I have a weird problem. I have 5 stations at my house. When I turn the knob to Run Time and then press the arrow to station 5, it always goes back to station 1. Like station 5 is not even there. But I am able to manually turn on station 5 for watering. Any ideas?
You might have purchased the 4 zone version instead of the 6 zone variant
Hello so could you clarify if i set everything ive tried program a and also all three programs and only the front works. Is it because i didnt set each station time individually? So i could run one program and start time but the run time needs to be put into each station?? Right now just rhe front yard is getting water
Apologize for the late response yes you need to enter the run time desired for each station
Thank you I figured it out because of your video and I called orbit to double check. Customers sprinklers running great! Thank you
I need to change battery but cannot remove the side opener: How do I get the cover pff withput destroying the cover
Hi, try a flat head stew driver
Do I leave the water on outside to run the timer ?
Timer will turn on the valves to water your landscape so you need the water on
@@escompleteyardwork2984 did not work. I heard the clicking sound but nothing happened after
HELP! I WAS REPAIRING A HOLE IN PVC! THE SYSTEM CAME ON. EMERGENCY TURN OFF. CANT TURN OFF HOME MAIN. PERSONAL CARE HOM I GOT A FLOOD GOING ON
Yet, my brand new controller shows 7AM--where I set it, five hours later, still "7AM", can't see what is wrong.
What is program A,B,C?
The (3) programs are used for areas of your landscape that require more or less water from other areas. For example your lawn areas would need more water we're as a planter area with succulents would need less and less days, so the programs give that option to separate the different areas according to the watering needs.
Budget?????
I cannot run all the stations it only run station one how do I change to station 23 and four
You need to put running time on 2,3 and 4
what about watering twice a day?
So sorry for the delay use the second start time, when you go to the start time on the dial you’ll see it has start time (1) then press the arrow to the right of the dial and it will change to start time (2) proceed to the time you want
Also press enter
Why would you add up all the run time for each station? They all have the same start time, just add the one with the longest run time, then you can figure out when the timer stops when all the watering for all stations is done.
At 4:06 he explains that only the first zone/station starts at the START TIME.
The orbit timer is one of the most frustrating timers! It doesnt water my zones correctly which makes me think its broken or wired wrong!
Give me an example
Like for example, I set mine for 4:25 am and it's not running at 4:25 am.
When I did set everything up correctly. The machine reseted itself back to factory mode. And the date showed me 2016. Idk whats wrong with it
Sorry for the late response, youmight have a problem with your electrical outlet. What kind of timer do you have?
@@escompleteyardwork2984 oh I think so. The valve didnt turn to ON for watering even the machine was set
Ok but what’s the brand of the timer?
@@escompleteyardwork2984 same model and brand as in the video. I will call someone to fix it
I need more than A….
My sprinkler keeps watering each station TWICE, no matter what I do.
So sorry for the delay how old is the timer
@@escompleteyardwork2984mine does the same
