Have an old Hydro Rain HRM12 sprinkler control box that is no longer working. We have 12 stations w/ 2 timers. Would Orbit be 57900 be compatible?

The 57900 is a 12 station unit. Should be compatible to operate your system. You should only need the one unit to replace your 2 timer system. Each station will be programmable. Hope this helps.

Not this one. This one is only 4 station. You'll need to get a similar unit for the number of stations you actually have if you do not want to modify it. Check with your gardener or electrician if want to make changes and wire properly.

Yes....Very easy to hook up the individual stations, very easy to program, and have had no problems with this unit

If you are replacing both of your old timers yes, as long as your valves are 24 volt valves. If you have two six station timers and are replacing them with one twelve station timer. Not enough information on your old timers to be more indepth.

I would go to any browser (I use ask.com) and type in: Hunter Sprinkler XC600i manual. There should be a couple there to download, or just to read.

I'm not sure what you mean, but this unit is to turn on/off your sprinkler pump in coordination with the sprinkler system turning on and off. Our irrigation system has 7 zones. This box does not control the zones, only the sprinkler pump.

The answer is YES, you may eschdule two different watering cycles per day (24 hours format) and also you can program the length of the timing. Device is really easy to program once you read the instructions, also you can program any or all the days you want watering from 1 t 7 days. I bought an gardena sprinkler connected to the timer and what a set I have, I am more than happy using both articles.

It is always closed until the timer/actuator voltage is supplied. I have an Orbit solar-powered timer as my actuator (4 station) with a battery backup of 2 AA batteries. On my timer, you can plug 4 of these in and program the cycles individually. Only a single water outlet is needed (with a splitter) for all 4 stations as long as you have 25+ PSI water pressure. They are activated consecutively (not concurrently) so your only limit is based on the individual timer itself. I don't know if the plug is universal but it does work with Orbit timers.Pat Marshburn

I replaced an older, malfunctioning Irritrol Rain Dial 6 box with this new one, and it works great. The number of stations needs to be consistent, as I have no experience with another control box. I had my gardener replace the box, but probably could have done it myself.

This timer is for an entire sprinkler system, not just a hose. Underground valves and sprinkler heads are required.

I purchased IRO from rachio.com. It can support upto 16 zones ( 8 or 16 depending on model) in addition to master valve control. Installed today in couple of hours. Ran around the sprinkler naming them. Worked wonderfully. Not sure why Amazon is not carrying the same

If I understand what you're asking, the answer is no. You have three programs you can set. Each program operates independently of the other two in controlling the zones. Thus, like I have done, you can have a full watering for one program, half watering for another. Other options include setting things like every other day (or any other interval of skipping days), and one or more times each day (up to five times a day, I think). You can turn the three available programs on and off individually. Etc. You can also hook up a rain sensor like the one I got a Lowes (Orbit brand). This will cause any program that is set to run from automatically running if the sensor has determined that it rained recently. Works for my purposes. You can also control things remotely with apps for Android and iPhone. Also remotely via the internet by web browser. You just have to set it up with your router, etc. I suggested to the developers that they add a function to the control scheme. I thought it would be a good idea to add a slider or setting to each program that would easily allow one to vary the watering times as a percentage of the baseline. That is for example, if on Program 1, I had my baseline times set for each zone, I could easily modify that program to do 50% or 200%, or whatever, and all the zones would be reduced or increased accordingly. I didn't receive a reply.

Your question is a bit vague. Should you buy a new timer and, for this model, have fewer than six sprinkler stations, I would simply transfer the wires from the old timer to new. This company also makes a 12 station timer. installing and wiring the new timer is really pretty easy. Mine was done in about 20 minutes. The Irritrol brand timers are a tad more expensive than some other brands but are also easy to program and last forever. The one at my home has been doing well for 19 years. The one I purchased replaced a cheaper brand that the landscaper installed at a commercial building I own. Good luck, Jane. Your question is a bit vague.

I installed a Orbit 57009 pump start relay a year ago. It is connected to a RainBird 110 V controller. The pump relay connects to a 220 V water pump. The system was simple to install and has worked well.

Sorry for being late, but here is my answer: The time per zone is not limited but the unit will surely not deliver enough power to supply more than solenoid valve zone at a time. By design the zones are powered one after the other. Every zone has its own start time and I do not think there is provision for overlap of zone, although I have not tried . My water well pump would not be powerful enough anyway..
