Review body

About the orbit traveling sprinkler, what we like, what we don’t like, what owners are saying, should you buy the orbit traveling sprinkler, related content.

Simple set up

Automatic shut off

Durable construction

Not for new seed

Setup is easy and straightforward. The sprinkler rides along your garden hose which you lay out in a pattern that allows it to reach your entire lawn. The track doesn’t need to be straight, but turns and bends should be gradual so the sprinkler doesn’t jump off the hose. And while it can move some objects out of the way—it pushed a rake laying in its path for about 10 minutes —you do want to clear any obstacles before you start it up.

Attach the included stopper ramp onto the hose where you want the sprinkler to shut down. The sprinkler climbs over the ramp, which depresses a valve in the back, shutting down water supply to the spray arms and drive gears. Make sure that the stopper ramp is on a straight section of the hose. In my tests, the sprinkler fell off when the ramp was on a curve.

Once the track is set up, place the sprinkler with the front wheel sitting on the hose, about four feet from the end. Attach the hose to the coupler on the back of the sprinkler. The water pressure drives both the spinning sprayer heads and the wheels. Then all you have left is to turn on the water.

One note: The Orbit Traveling Sprinkler moves remarkably slowly, even on its “fast” setting. So slowly, in fact, that we spent 15 minutes trying to figure out why it wasn’t moving before we realized that it was moving, just almost imperceptibly. Once it’s up and running, there’s nothing left to do. When it reaches the ramp at the end, the valve closes, the sprinkler shuts off, and you can go put it away at your leisure. Short of a fully automatic sprinkler system, this is the best way that I’ve found to water a lawn.

Weight: 18.8 pounds Spray diameter: 15 feet to 50 feet Coverage area: Up to 13,500 feet Speed settings: High (37 feet/hr); Neutral (stationary); Low (15 feet/hr) Required hose diameter: ⅝ inches Material: Cast iron Pressure rating: 15 to 65 PSI

You can set this sprinkler up and totally forget about it while it waters your lawn.

Setup is easy and fast

The sprinkler is incredibly easy to set up. All you have to do is expand it to its full length and lay it down on the ground.

The sprinkler moves around bends and turns easily, so close enough is good enough. Just make sure that the path allows the sprinkler to reach your entire yard, and that the bends aren’t too sharp.

The automatic shutoff means you don’t have to watch it

The simple shutoff ramp at the end of the track really makes this product viable. You can set it up, completely forget about it for an hour or two, and it shuts down when the job is finished.

I wouldn’t recommend leaving it going when you’re not home just in case it does drive off the hose, but as long as you’re home to glance at it every hour or so, there shouldn’t be an issue.

Durable construction promises a long life

This thing is heavy. It ought to be—it’s made almost entirely of cast iron. But this weight suggests that it will last a long time.

What’s more, the weight helps to hold it in place, even if there are bumps or small obstacles in your yard. I see nothing about this product that suggests it won’t last for years and years.

The sprinkler is made almost entirely of cast iron

It’s not good for new grass

The assembly instructions come right out and say this, and it’s easy to see why. Between the spikes on the wheels and the fact that it drags your entire hose behind it, this sprinkler would tear up a lot of grass seed.

Wait until your lawn is mature enough to use it.

Wait until your lawn is mature to utilize this sprinkler.

Owners of Orbit’s traveling sprinkler have given it a 4.5-star rating on Amazon out of over 3,200 reviews. They cite the reliability, spray distance, and durable construction as major benefits. Some users noticed that it can get bogged down in soft ground, and some have had issues with parts, though several of them updated their review to say that Orbit had honored the warranty.

Yes, it is one of the easiest ways to water the grass.

Unless you have a full irrigation system in your yard, this traveling sprinkler is better than whatever method you’re using to water your lawn now. It does an excellent job, and it does it without your help or interference.

Just lay out your hose, set it running, and go about your day. The Orbit Traveling Sprinkler will do the rest, keeping your lawn green and growing through even the hottest days of summer.

Orbit Traveling Sprinkler

Tough, dependable watering.

Made from durable, weatherproof materials, the traveling sprinkler will last for years. The body is made of cast iron, perfect to weigh the sprinkler down and ensure it travels along the right path without stalling. Spiked rear wheel and durable gears provide smooth travel, giving your lawn an even watering. The three position speed control lets you select how fast the sprinkler travels. Slowing it down will provide more water, speeding it up less.

Ideal for all lawns

The traditional whirling arms are adjustable to reach spray coverage from a 15 to 55-feet diameter, so you can cover large areas or small.

Features & benefits

• Ideal for extra-large lawns.
• Covers up to 13,500 sq. ft along 200 ft. of hose.
• Travels along any hose path created.
• Adjusts from 15 ft. to 55 ft. diameter coverage.
• Cast-iron construction for stability and durability.
• Rotary spray for even water coverage.

Travels along any hose path created

The clever design of this sprinkler incorporates numerous options, giving you the ability to choose just the right watering solution for your garden. To set the sprinkler, simply lay out your hose in a pattern you want it to follow. The hose then acts as a track, guiding the front wheel as the water powers the rear wheels forward while rotating the sprinkler. The auto shutoff function stops the water when it reaches a predetermined point.

Traveling Sprinkler Assembly and Operating Instructions

1. Sprinkler assembly

Begin by inserting the black plastic T into the top of the sprinkler. Twist the long silver spray arms into the T, tightening the black rings until the spray arms are held securely in place.

2. Positioning the arms

Positioning the spray arms correctly will ensure the proper operation of your sprinkler. Move each spray arm individually to adjust the watering diameter from a minimum of 15 feet to 55 feet.  (If the arms are facing the wrong direction, this could cause your sprinkler to travel backwards)

3. Setting up the hose

Lay up to 200 feet of 5/8” hose in any pattern you select on a lawn that is fully grown–the sprinkler may not work on new or recently seeded lawns. Begin by creating at least a three-foot loop with the end of the hose to prevent pinching when connecting to the sprinkler. Do not create sharp turns in the hose pattern.

4. Positioning the shut-off ramp

The shut-off ramp may be used at any point along the hose pattern to stop the sprinkler. Place the automatic shut-off ramp over the hose where you want the sprinkler to stop, ensuring a minimum of 5 feet of straight hose on either end of the ramp.

5. Hooking up the sprinkler

Set the sprinkler on the hose so that the front tire is on the hose and the back wheels are on either side. Make sure the sprinkler is facing the direction you would like it to go. Hook up the hose to the rear of the sprinkler.

6. Setting the sprinkler’s speed

Select a traveling speed by pulling up on and rotating the dial on the top of the sprinkler. The sprinkler will travel from 0 to 37 feet per hour based on setting.

High :  Select this speed for faster movement and light watering

Low :  Select this speed for slower movement and heavier watering

Neutral:  Select this speed for no movement; the sprinkler will remain stationary and water a designated area.

7. Running the sprinkler

Pull out the stopper underneath the sprinkler between the back wheels and turn on the water supply. The sprinkler will move at the speed indicated along the hose track, stopping when its shut-off plunger contacts the ramp stop.

8. Stopping the sprinkler

When the sprinkler comes in contact with the shut-off ramp, the incline causes the stopper to be pushed up, stopping the sprinkler.

9. Moving the sprinkler

Before repositioning the hose and moving the sprinkler to another part of the lawn, be sure to turn off the water first. Eliminate excess pressure from the hose and pull the sprinkler’s stopper back out before beginning again in a new area. It will be very difficult to move the stopper back down if water pressure remains in the hose.

10. Cleaning up

To keep the Orbit® Heavy-Duty Traveling Sprinkler operating within peak parameters, be sure that the filter washer at the hose coupling and the spray arms remain clean and unblocked. Consistently drain the sprinkler after each use by standing it on end for at least five minutes to ensure all water is eliminated from the sprinkler’s interior.

11. Preventing sprinkler damage

Use caution when picking up and moving the sprinkler–dropping it could potentially result in damage to the sprinkler or its parts. Do not force the sprinkler to move faster or slower along the track while it is in operation. Do not let the sprinkler become mired in thick grass or mud. Be sure there are no objects blocking the path of the sprinkler. The sprinkler is designed to move across grass only–never attempt to use the sprinkler on concrete driveways, sidewalks, or other hard surfaces. Doing so may result in severe damage to the motor assembly.

• Best Sprinkler Systems

Sprinkler systems keep your yard pristine and offer homeowners and contractors a more convenient manner of watering. However, choosing the right one for your outdoor space requires careful consideration. Thanks to the technologically advanced sprinkler system control panels on the market, though, you can choose a comprehensive control panel and system that are tailored perfectly to your needs. To help you make the most informed choice, we’ve weighed different factors to build our list of the best sprinkler systems and control panels.

Table of Contents

• Things To Consider When Buying
• How We Chose

Hunter Pro-HC  »

Includes Hydrawise software which boasts up to 50% water savings

Allows for 6, 12, or 24 stations

Touchscreen interface is easy to use

Control your system via app

Pricing not listed

Must find a distributor to purchase from

The Hunter Pro-HC sprinkler controller system is our overall pick mainly for its intuitive software and versatility in size. This control system boasts six different watering programs, each with six start time options, allowing you to tailor your watering schedule to meet the needs of your lawn and gardens. Its advanced programming allows for station-based programming (up to 24 stations available) and each comes with six start times.

Best of all, this sprinkler system includes Hunter’s Hydrawise software which allows you to control your system anywhere you are via the mobile app. Through the app, you can also examine water use and view and adjust your watering schedule. The Hydrawise system monitors every aspect of your sprinkler, providing alerts about faulty hardware so that you can immediately rectify issues that arise. Best of all, you can take the guesswork out of watering your lawn thanks to Hydrawise’s weather adjustment technology that adjusts your watering time according to local weather data.

Note that you can’t purchase the system directly from Hunter. You must find a distributor who carries the system. Additionally, pricing is not available via Hunter and varies among sellers.

Orbit B-Hyve 57950  »

Easily schedule watering for different zones of your lawn or landscaping via the free integrated app

Control your irrigation system from anywhere via the app

Mount the control panel either inside or outside

System utilizes weather station data to make smart adjustments to watering schedule

Some users may find the control panel’s manual buttons confusing

Only up to 12 stations available

If you’re looking to install a smart sprinkler system and control panel without breaking the bank, the Orbit B-Hyve 57950 is a solid choice. With a wide array of features that make maintaining a beautiful landscape easier than ever, you can combine Orbit’s underground sprinkler heads, nozzles, valves, and full underground kits with this high-tech sprinkler controller. You can choose between two models for this control system – one with up to six watering zones and one with up to 12. This system offers a waterproof design that allows you to install it either outdoors or inside, depending on your preference. It also can help you save on your water bill, utilizing weather data and advanced technology to increase efficiency without sacrificing the health of your yard and plants. Another nice feature of this budget-friendly sprinkler system is that you can install the control panel yourself using its installation guide. Simply install the control panel, integrate it into your underground sprinkler system, download the app, and you’ll have easy control and scheduling at your fingertips.

The downside, however, is that only 12 stations are available which is fewer than some systems on this list. And the control panel with manual buttons may take some time to understand as it’s not as intuitive as other panels in this list.

Rain Bird 32ETI Easy to Install In-Ground Automatic Sprinkler System Kit  »

Easy to install yourself

Sprinklers retract into lawn

Cover up to 3,000 square feet of yard for under $300

Does not accommodate expansions

Yard elevation cannot exceed 6 feet for system to work

The Rain Bird 32ETI automatic sprinkler system is one you can easily add to your yard yourself. It includes a timer, six high-efficiency rotary sprinklers with pre-installed 0.75 nozzles, plus the required tubing and connectors for installation. You won’t have the eyesore of sprinkler heads in your yard when it’s not being watered as these heads conveniently retract into your lawn. This system was designed to take the elements into account, thanks to its wind-resistant rain curtain nozzle and rain delay feature that allows you to suspend watering for days at a time without the need to reset your normal watering schedule.

Additionally, this is a self-draining system to help avoid issues with freezing in the winter. Water between 1,000 and 3,000 square feet with ease once you complete your simple, DIY sprinkler system installation and use the included timer to set your watering schedule and preferences. Best of all, this comes in at under $300, which is a steal for the convenience and performance.

However, the system does not accommodate expansions so you’ll have to buy a new system if you need to cover more lawn. Your lawn must also not exceed a 6-foot elevation to keep the system working properly.

Irritrol Total Control-R Series  »

Option to add water-saving features, such as automatic turn-off during rainfall

Monitor and control between 6 and 48 stations

Five-year warranty

Some advanced features must be installed as an add-on, additional purchase

Must be purchased and installed through a distributor

Battery and battery backup not included

If you have an expansive property, the Irritrol Total Control-R Series can keep your outdoors looking pristine. This sprinkler system control center can accommodate between six and 48 stations or sprinkler zones depending on the model you choose, which makes it ideal for large yards. The Total Control-R Series uses real weather reports and sensors to manage your watering schedule, retains useful operating data, and lets you control the system remotely.

You can also incorporate add-ons onto this system to make it even more tech-savvy like Irritrol’s RainSensor series that shuts your system off when it rains. It comes at an extra cost, however. Another downside of this system is that it only offers four programs which is the fewest compared to the systems on this list. Batteries are also not included and you can’t purchase the system directly from Irritrol – you must find a distributor.

Rain Bird ESP-TM2  »

Easy to install on your own

Control up to 12 sprinkler zones

Three-step programming

Delay watering up to two weeks without erasing your previous irrigation schedule

Add-on module must be bought to use with Wi-Fi

Not a good choice for larger yards

The Rain Bird ESP TM2 is a smart sprinkler control panel that’s not only easy to install but also simple to program. This indoor- and outdoor-compatible control panel shines with its three-step programming. The back-lit display also makes it easy to read at all times of the day and night and through all weather conditions. This Rain Bird model also has advanced features, such as the Contractor Default setting, which allows you to save and restore your watering schedule for further ease of operation.

You can also delay watering for up to two weeks as needed, automatically resuming your water schedule after the set duration has elapsed. However, if you want to control and monitor your system via an app, an add-on module must be purchased to connect the system to Wi-Fi. With only 12 sprinkler zones, it may not be suitable for more intricate gardens and larger lawns.

The Bottom Line

Building your perfect sprinkler system may seem like a daunting task, but a smart control system makes it a worthy investment of your time and money. Our research shows watering and programming needs are the backbone of a comprehensive system. That said, our overall pick, Hunter Pro-HC , gives you up to 24 programming zones and mobile app ability. For those on a budget, the Orbit B-Hyve 57950 offers the most coverage for just under $300. We also picked systems with DIY setup, easy programming, and larger coverage.

Things To Consider When Choosing a Sprinkler System

Water efficiency and conservation.

Keeping your yard in pristine condition can utilize quite a bit of water. However, one major perk of having a sprinkler system is the ability to conserve water without sacrificing a green lawn. Smart sprinkler systems can drive down your water bill cost while simultaneously helping the environment. “In our experience, embracing this technology has not only kept our clients’ properties in tip-top shape but also resulted in significant water savings,” says Marco Picano, co-owner of Picano Landscaping. “...After switching to a smart sprinkler system, the client reported a 30% reduction in water usage for landscaping purposes within the first year, without compromising on the health or aesthetics of their landscape.”

Ease of Installation and Maintenance 

While some of the more in-depth systems require the help of a professional for installation, some can be installed on your own. It's important to weigh whether you are looking for something that needs to be professionally installed or if you prefer the DIY route. Also, consider whether the control panel system can only be installed indoors or if it is weatherproof and can be installed outdoors.

Another important factor is the ongoing maintenance of a sprinkler system. Typically, the mechanics of an irrigation system require you to routinely check for normal operation and ensure there are no leaks or clogs. For the system control panel, decipher what system updates may need to be done and understand whether the technology can automatically detect issues within the irrigation system.

Warranty and Customer Support

Many of the companies that we researched offer a money-back guarantee if you're dissatisfied with the product or a one- or two-year warranty. It's also worth looking into the customer service practices of a company before investing in their sprinkler systems. We recommended only the most reputable companies in the irrigation industry, all of which have not only reliable customer service but also a wealth of resources, manuals, blog posts, and user guides on their website to assist you in making the most of your sprinkler system.

Control Options and Programmability

Different systems have varying options when it comes to control options and programmability. For instance, some brands and systems offer an app so that you can control your system from your smartphone rather than strictly via the control panel. Some even offer control through your home systems, like Amazon Alexa or Google Home. While you can set a watering calendar with many sprinkler systems, also consider a system that can automatically adjust watering habits according to the weather, rain, and moisture levels. This can save you money on water bills and help the overall health of your landscaping. Having this level of control and automation allows you peace of mind regarding your irrigation system.

How We Chose the Best Sprinkler Systems

At U.S. News 360 Reviews, our contributor conducted hours of research and read numerous real-life consumer reviews to determine the best national mold removal services. We also consulted experts in the field, including Jeremy Yamaguchi, CEO of Lawn Love, and Marco Picano, co-owner of Picano Landscaping. After extensive research, we found that in today’s tech-savvy world, the best sprinkler systems rely heavily on their control system. Once you choose the control system and features that are best suited for your yard, you can piece together the mechanics of your sprinkler system to match the needs of your outdoor space. We also took into account the reputation of brands in the irrigation industry to determine the best sprinkler systems on the market.

Sprinkler Systems FAQ

To figure out the area you’ll want your sprinkler system to cover, you should name different “zones” in your yard. For instance, areas that are populated with plants should be designated to their own zone. Areas that receive more or less sunlight should also be “zoned.” From there, you can best decipher how many different areas will need watering and take the different types of sprinkler heads into account. Some rotate up to 360 degrees or have rotary heads that can spray water a longer distance. Finally, choose the different types of sprinkler heads you’ll use for each designated zone to ensure they meet coverage and watering requirements.

The typical cost of a sprinkler system is $1,700 to $3,500. According to Lawn Love CEO Jeremy Yamaguchi, “Labor costs can drive up the price, with it being more expensive for professional installation of in-ground systems (though also usually necessary to get that kind of system installed professionally).” While the exact cost of your sprinkler system may vary depending on installation needs, chosen features, and other factors, you can use this rule of thumb as a rough estimate.

The world of irrigation systems can be complex and somewhat confusing, so zeroing in on the best sprinkler system for your yard may seem like a challenge. There are several things to consider when choosing the right sprinkler system. First off is the size and shape of your yard. The type of soil your yard has also plays a role, as yards with poor drainage require a low-flow sprinkler for best results. Finally, consider what features are important to you like custom programming, remote control, and automation.

Most people are concerned with water usage when it comes to their sprinkler system mainly because of water bills. While water usage will vary from one household to the next, most in-the-ground sprinkler heads will use 1 to 5 gallons of water each minute they're operating. Many sprinkler systems and control panels that we recommended have water-saving features, which can help cut down on wasted water as you irrigate your lawn.

Maintaining your irrigation system is an important part of extending its lifespan and getting the most bang for your buck. Some maintenance measures you'll have to take include routinely checking water pressure, changing your watering schedule throughout the year to accommodate the changing seasons, winterizing your system in cold weather climates, cleaning out sprinkler heads, adjusting sprinkler head angles, flushing the system annually, and making regular upgrades. Investing in a smart irrigation system also assists with maintenance, as many of them can automatically scan for issues and alert you so that they can be promptly addressed.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Arrow showing the direction of metro line 1 and 2

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

An excellent read! Thanks for much for sharing the Russian metro system with us. We're heading to Moscow in April and exploring the metro stations were on our list and after reading your post, I'm even more excited to go visit them. Thanks again 🙂
