Buy more parts when you purchase
I really liked how easy this was to put together. My only complaints: they didn’t provide enough parts. They only have enough parts for one style of configuration. 1 tee fitting wasn’t enough and most certainly the amount of hose is not nearly close to be enough. I had to order more parts and more tubing which took a week to get. No hardware stores carry the tubing or fittings in stock. Amazon doesn’t have good options for individual parts. This is really disappointing. If you take their advice on the minimum (maximum) throw of 15 feet at 35 PSI, this means these 6 sprinkler heads need a minimum of 150 feet plus of piping. They only supply 125 feet.

Extremely easy way to get a sprinkler system for your home.
I was able to install this entire system in a day, including layout, trenching, and installation. It has been working flawlessly for a month now. Highly recommend this system to anyone that wants to add a simple irrigation system to their lawn. The enclosed 125ft of line was not enough to finish my job, but I was able to find the same line at ACE Hardware down the street for $35 / 100ft. The app monitors rain, and delays watering automatically. I don't even pay attention to the system anymore, just let it run. Easy, simple, inexpensive. Perfect.

I recommend getting a trencher
It honestly isn't too difficult to do if you follow the instructions. I personally had about a 65-70 PSI from my water spigot and after planning everything out (I even added about 40 feet extra to the two lines) I had the heads placed approximately 21-22 feet apart which works well and seems to still have the water reach all areas no problem/reach head-to-head as recommended.The planning, tube prep/cutting, and testing is pretty simple. After verifying no leaks (one head slightly leaks but not enough for puddling or anything so I am just keeping it where it is) and making sure the sprinklers were set to spray where I wanted: I ran in to an issue needing something to hold the sprinklers up when testing above ground. I used wooden shims (like $1.50 from hardware store for 12) and string which worked perfectly. Also, the paperwork explaining the sprinkler head distances can be confusing because one says that a certain head can spray one distance (red or something like that) and then they give you a different head (green).The actual digging out would have been a true pain by hand (you would be digging like 300 ft about 6-10 inches deep) but I rented a trencher from Home Depot and was able to knock it all out in a couple of hours.I recommend 2 things here:1. Always make sure to notify the city that you are digging and expect them to take a couple days to come out and mark where everything is (you should have your area for digging planned/marked out for them to see)2. I recommend marking to the side of where you are digging so you know exactly where you want your sprinkler head to go.Placing the hose in the ground is simple and just takes time to push all the dirt back where it needs to be and step/compact it all back down. I do recommend placing the sprinklers where you want them with dirt and testing them once more just in case so that you don't have to dig things up later.Honestly, if you break down the pricing for the parts you could get this kit for cheaper yourself but it is very handy for including pretty much everything and having a nice step by step. Now that I know what I am doing though; the next time I do this for another property I will get the parts piece by piece since I now know what I am doing fully.

Wow
Love this. I bought one 2zone and set up the first zone as instructed, on top of the ground, based off of pressure 45 psi and instructions. It was a smaller area near the house. I did 5 sprinkler heads on the first zone, and on all other zones, being that worked well. The coverage was more than the instructions said. I had trouble burying the pipe due to it already being connected and very rocky soil. So, now that I knew how it worked, I measured zone 2 off, where the heads would go. Dug those holes first, then dug trenches the easiest path around roots and big rocks. Laid my hose in the trenches, then cut and connected, filling in the trenches between each one to remove slack or gain more hose around roots. I left the holes for the sprinklers and fittings open for testing. Worked great, and done in half the hassle. Worked so well, I have bought two more 2 zone systems and have my whole front yard done. Two of the zones I did in series rather than use a T fitting like the instructions say, and no problems with pressure. One 2 zone took me 8 hours to install, hand digging all the trenches. If you are short on pipe you can use a garden hose to the initial fitting that normally connects to the controller. I love this system and the blulock is easy to use. 750 dollars for three 2 zones versus 5000 for the sprinkler company, and know electric or servos to go bad.

Be really careful before you buy this kit
This system is decent however it does NOT contain all the parts you will need if you wish to make any adjustments to the layout and in Canada you CANNOT BUY compatible parts. Orbit have two definitions of 1/2", one that measures an accurate 1/2" for their Blu-Lock product here, and 17/32" for their Drip-Lock product sold at Home Depot. The 2 products even though they are labelled as 1/2" are not and are not compatible. The kit we purchased is useless to us as a couple of required components render the project hopeless and we have had to throw this kit away had start again. EXPENSIVE mistake! The Orbit web site shows the parts and they are available ONLY if sent to an American address, even though the web site shows they deal with Canada. LIES!!! I pleaded with them to send us the parts, they declined. Shameful service on Orbits parts. SHAMEFUL!!!

Très mauvais produit. Une perte d'argent.
Avant tout, l'ensemble n'a aucun dispositif pour pouvoir détacher les éléments entre eux une fois verrouillé. Après installation et ouverture de l'eau, le jet de chaque tête et ridiculement faible et continu. Impossible d'obtenir un jet diffus. de certaines têtes l'eau sort à peine, elle suinte. Bref un coût énorme pour un produit qui termine dans la poubelle. Ça ressemble à une arnaque.

Know who you purchase from
Good product just wouldn’t recommend purchasing it through timers plus, it has been an absolute nightmare. Terrible at communicating. Only half the order arrived. Still fighting for partial refund or rest of the order.

Amazing
Unreal to be able to do this with this kit. Saved a lot of $$. Recommended to install after some rain so the ground is soft.Make sure your lawn isn’t too big for the number of heads/zones and test your water pressure before installing.

Great system - Damaged Part upon Receipt
This is an excellent system. All parts are easy to install. Just make sure you follow the instructions and its pretty simple. My son and I installed it within a day. It would have been better to get 150ft of tubing considering that most lawns will require that amount, I don't like the idea of having to go to Home Depot to buy it if I'm paying so much for a product already. One other issue that I had is that one of the sprinkler heads doesn't work, I've tried to get in touch with the Orbit through Amazon but haven't been able to.
