Rain Bird introduces the new "SST600IN" Timer packed with enhanced features and programming options (this new & improved model replaces the Obsolete SST600I).

Additional Features: "Seasonal Adjust" allows increase in watering time up to +100% in hot/dry months or reduce in cool/rainy periods to as little as -90%.

It was easy to install and program. And I love how easy it is to customize Days and Run Times individually for each zone. The thing I think I like most is the two different Manual Run buttons, one that does all zones and one to do an individual zone. My 30 year old Rainbird didn't have the individual zone option. On the old controller, if I wanted to just run zone 3, I would have to cycle the manual button to zone 3 and when zone 3 finished, I would have to turn the controller off, otherwise, zones 4 and 5 would run. With this new controller, I just have to turn the dial to 3 and hit the button for 1 manual zone. There are two things that I wish were different with the individual zone option. (1) Each time you select an individual zone to run manually, the run time defaults to 10 minutes. I would prefer it default to the same time set for the full automatic option. (2) Lets say I want to run zone 3 manually for 30 minutes. I turn the rotary knob from Auto to 3 and press the button for individual zone then set the zone for 30 minutes and zone 3 runs for 30 minutes. Now I can go eat a ham sandwich and take a nap. But being that I'm old, there is a good chance I will forget to turn the knob back to Auto. My sprinklers are programmed to run Automatically while I'm at work. I might not realize my knob is still set to 3 until the grass starts dying. But even with those two minor issues, it's still 5 Stars for me.

Aside from slightly different spacing due to the Rainforest being a tad larger than my old Irritrol, I was able to replicate my previous setup within a couple of hours - including labelling zone wires and removal of old controller. My only criticism is the spring-plug method of connecting to the zone wires - I'm concerned about difficulty in removing wires without having their ends breaking off inside the socket, putting at risk re-using that socket. Good news is that setting up this controller was much more intuitive than my old controller - I write this while waiting for the first zone test to complete (just checked ... passed). Note to manufacturer: please use screw-down wire connectors on future models.

The unit arrived as scheduled and was well packed. It was heavier thanI expected, because the power transformer is heavier than expected. You need a sturdy outlet. Unfortunatley, it is an old school 24 VAC transformer, so it is heavy.The unit is nearly a direct replacement for our 30+ year old controller....but with a few new features. I decided not to go with a WiFi enabled unit since they are more expensive, and from the reviews it sounds like the WiFi interface are not robust and connections are often dropped.This unit is easy to wire up, and it worked first time.Some other comments: When reviewing the programming, you can visually see what days each zone is turned on. Nice feature . There is no covering door which makes the control more accessible, but they controls are exposed. (We'll see if the rotary knob get sticky in the garage after a few years.) The solenoid control wires go into the bottom of the unit and aren't well protected. I made a 3D printed housing to channel the wires and keep tem protected. Finally, since there is no cover door, there is not an easy place to put the zone watering schedule.Otherwise, this unit is a good replacement sprinkler controller. A good buy for the price point.

Keep track of the wiring to simplify the install and it will be easy to install. Works well and easy to operate.

My 18 year old controller finally decided to give up. It lost programming every time the power went out and yes, the battery was good. Decided to switch brands and go for a more up to date unit. The Rain Bird model was perfect for my needs. Indoor, operates 6 stations and allows three watering cycles per day. The display is easy to read and shows what is happening now and what will be coming up for the next cycle. It has worked perfectly for the month I have had it. Except for my programming mistake. It really is easy to program. The connections were easy to set up. It even has "pump or Master" output to turn on an extra valve to activate the irrigation system. I looked at the price of replacing my old unit with the same model number and it would have been over 2 times more expensive. I do like the nice display in the Rain Bird and don't need to control it from Wi Fi or have the controller second guess the weather reports. I just need it to work and this one does just that.

Lighting took out my Hunter irrigation system controller so it was time to upgrade to a better controller. The Hunter controller was very odd to program as well. The Rain Bird was very easy to install. More over it was very easy to program. Plus, the features are well thought out. If you want to run your normal watering program on an "off cycle" day this is very easy to do with the "Water All Zones Now" button. Pressing this button will water each programmed zone sequentially. Since I don't set the schedule to water the yard on a Saturday or Sunday due to the fact that I usually do yard work on those days, there are times when I do want to water on one of those days. A simple press of this button will easily accomplish watering of each programmed zone. And the "Rain Delay" button is extremely nice. Since I do not have a rain sensor I rely on myself to turn off the sprinkler system when rain is on the way. By selecting the dial to the Rain Delay function, the controller will belay watering for up to 72 hours. When the knob is in this function simply use the up arrow to delay watering in 12 hour intervals up to 72 hours. Then move knob back to the Auto Run position. The screen will display the delayed watering hours that were selected. This is a nice function for delaying watering due to rain as you don't have to remember to turn the system back on. My previous controller I had to turn off the controller when rain is coming but I had to remember to turn back on the controller. Well, that didn't always happen. There are other nice features but I will not mention every single item that I like about the controller. So far I have not encountered anything that I do not like. My application is fairly simple, as I only have 5 watering zones at my home, so I don't demand too much from the controller. It gets the job done and is very easy to use.
