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

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.

I’ve had the system for a little over a year now. Awesome system. Easy to install and works as advertised. The heads are easily adjustable and have a lot of pressure even though I have the system maxed out per their guidelines. Only complain is that the one zone on the timer stopped working after the first season. For the price of the overall system, this was not a big deal. Ended up upgrading to a timer that connects via Bluetooth and everything is great now. I’ve recommended this system to many family and friends.

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.

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 *hay Great product! I highly recommend!

I like this kit. Was able to put together my own sprinkler system. It took me about 3 days all said and done. Recommend renting a trencher at your local rental. Makes the job a heck of a lot easier. Have a real nice green yard now being able to water consistently and not have to move around a sprinkler. I blew all the water out of it and hopefully no issues after this winter.

This system is great only thing is so far I have sent back three of them. The reason for returning some is that they were Warehouse Deals and the previous owner had used it , pieces missing, hoses cut to different lengths and the people inspecting it at return don’t know their job, sorry they just need training ! So if the kit was complete without any missing parts etc. I would have used them as a complete kit would work. These kits are everything you need to successfully install the under ground sprinkler system and cut down on work for you.

Assembly of pipes is very easy, only difficult part is digging trenches for the pipe but ones that is done, it is easy to hook up and adjust the sprinkler heads. Great DIY value. When the installation is done, it is so so satisfying to watch the sprinklers work!

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

I was measuring 40psi at my faucet and could only use 6 of the 12 sprinklers - 3 per zone. Any more than 3 on a zone (in the U design) they wouldn't come up. I had to get creative with placement and managed to cover most of my garden, but I will still have to do some manual watering in parts. Trenching for me wasn't too bad as I have just had my garden leveled and there's no grass at all at the moment. Disappointed I couldn't get more sprinklers connected as all 12 would have easy covered my whole garden. Probably wouldn't buy again had I known this was going to be an issue.

Had an issue with a cracked Sprinkler Head on delivery. Spoke to Amazon who advised we contact the manufacturers Orbit for a replacement. We received a reply from Orbit stating that they do not stock this product in the UK. They went on to advise that Amazon should not have sold and shipped this product outside of North America! Advised to raise the issue with Amazon, although the 30-day return period has passed, however, they should not have sold this product to us. As this product is not sold in the UK, Orbit do not have any stock to replace the faulty sprinkler head.
