Customer Reviews: Great valve for the price July 12, 2007 V. Dibble (Binghamton, NY) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We shopped the industrial catalogs for similar vavles. All were priced way too high for our little irrigation system. These valves are quiet and seal well. Do not leave them outside in the winter. Even with all the vents and drains open they retain a small bit of water in the solenoid. It freezes and ruins the solenoid. We have built a manifold using 6 valves. We lift the whole assembly off the house and bring it inside in the winter.
Used the solenoid June 12, 2008 A. Wiersch (Lantana, TX USA (near Dallas)) I used the solenoid from this unit to replace a solenoid on a similar Toro valve (which didn't seem to last 3 years). An Orbit universal solenoid I bought from Lowe's didn't work (it fit but didn't work right). With Amazon Prime and free shipping, this made it the cheapest solution to get a working replacement solenoid.
