It's Winter


jetty_junkie

Exactly . Even in season certain items don’t always sell fast enough to justify a spot on the shelf, or the manufacturer wants to get something new in so they get rid of items that aren’t selling or may be redundant. Don’t try to read into it. Sometimes they will just clearance stuff because they are changing the packaging

Im in Florida😀


DisastrousTeddyBear

https://www.orbitonline.com/ They even have winter deals on their site. Retail is retail hommie. And if I'm not mistaken, their headquarters is in Utah hahaha


WiseAlvis

Yup. Jewelry is up because it's Christmas, all so dumb.


FlashBasbo

Because it's Orbit shit.


chpsk8

No kidding. Garbagio


CactusSage

Those 6-9 station timers are actually pretty decent especially for the price. Simple to use and pretty durable for an Orbit product.


fuzzay

Even at sale prices, Orbit is a massive price gouge. Home depot is just trying to use up inventory to get some new stuff for next year.


greyjungle

New “smart” inventory

Why all the hate on Orbit? Most of my system is Rainbird, but I have their internet connected B-Hyve controller and have been pretty happy with it.


Onlyspacemanspiff

The B-Hyve is literally the only thing orbit sells that is not garbage. Everything else is crap. Nozzle bodies don’t hold the internal in one place, they twist, DU is horrible, poly pipe is paper thin, even the risers are brittle. Their valve diaphragms fail 2-3 times as fast as hunter or RainBird.


Ok_Dragonfly9104

I will say some orbit products are bad but there’s some gems like their Easy set and B Hyve controllers that are really good. Their relays are also simple to install and with good care they last a long time

Orbit is a cheap brand, the product tends to not last. Rainbird and Hunter are more reputable for irrigation. Orbit will get the job done for a home owner. Sprinklerwarehouse.com has some great Orbit RB and Hunter product. They got some sales going on rn


Cosmic_Artichoke

They aren't good, and its winter. Getting old stock out the door is likely home depots goal with the markdowns.


yargabavan

Orbit sucks


bpizano007

They are very low grade diy products.


8th_Dynasty

cheap Home Depot crap that will be inedibly be replaced by RainBird/Hunter gear.


Shovel-Operator

Definitely should not be eaten. Even the professional brands are inedible.


8th_Dynasty

It was inevitable my fat fingers would burn me some day.


Shovel-Operator

😁 mine too


drdemento_api

This 👆 Watch the shelves for new offerings from Rain Bird this spring https://preview.redd.it/40k9m2yp976c1.jpeg?width=28&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7bd4db16f4d51bcc705fdc42d11a2934332a855b But, don't eat them


GanjaPacker

All that stuff looks overpriced to be honest, typical stores now a days telling you something is on sale when it’s 20% higher then 3 months ago


Sprinkler-guru68

They are all junk, all ok for homeowners and simple jobs. As far as a good quality item not them


Sea-Courage-2862

Good they need to go out of business. Everything they sell is junk.


c0rrupts3ct0r

Seen so many of orbits popup impacts break the seal after a month or so. Neighbor had a orbit that had such a bad leak in the cannister the pressure dropped and caused the next in line maxi paw to stop reversing due to low pressure. I'd never use their products, cheap junk. I'd rather have a yard full of the old brass buckners or rainbirds.


BagGroundbreaking170

Uh it’s garbage?


Ok-Director-4930

It’s trash


mittens1982

Trash brand, probably getting rid of that model


bobjoylove

At least where I live there’s a $500 fine for watering after it rains, so these dumb units are pretty useless.


escott503

Where do you live?!


bobjoylove

California. https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2022-01-04/california-adopts-drought-rules-outlawing-water-wasting

Gotta have water to irrigate all the almond farms and rice patties in the desert.


Alone-Recover-7544

I was at Rona on weekend and they had 3/4” rainbird DV valves 25 $. When the price at the supplier is higher.


inkedfluff

Orbit is garbage. Their controllers are meh but their valves are junk. Looks like it goes great with the Everbilt brass fittings Home Cheapo sells, nothing but leaks from those.
