Product Description

Add value, versatility, and convenience to your underground watering system with the Rain Bird SST-600i six-station automatic indoor sprinkler timer.

The Simple-to-Set Timer allows you to schedule different watering times for up to 6 zones. (View larger).

The timer includes color-coded terminals for easy installation (SST-900i pictured). (View larger).

So easy to use you can forget the instructions, the SST-600i's intuitive zone-by-zone scheduling allows you to set different watering times for each area of the yard, providing greener results with less water. By turning the dial to the appropriate zone, you can easily set your system to water full sun areas more and shaded areas less, or water slopes and clay soils in short intervals to allow water to soak in--an important step in avoiding runoff. You can also vary the timing and frequency of pop-up sprays vs. rotor zones and customize the drip zones when watering trees and landscapes.

Advanced Controls

The SST-600i offers one-touch seasonal adjustments, allowing you to increase watering in hot, dry months and reduce it in rainy periods. The timer is also compatible with an optional rain sensor, which automatically shuts off the timer when it's raining. And maintenance is easy thanks to the built-in troubleshooting feature. If the timer detects a short, it suspends watering to that zone and displays a warning message. The timer even protects against surges from nearby lightning strikes and power surges. If power is interrupted, the timer stores the settings indefinitely without the need for a backup battery.

Simple Installation

To install the SST-600i, simply strip the wires and push them into the color-coded terminals--no screwdriver necessary. The terminals make it easy to connect zone wires, master valves, pump start relays, or a rain sensor.

RainBird SST600i Simple To Set 6 Zone Indoor Timer Review

I just finished installing and programming this irrigation timer. All I can say is wow! This thing is awesome! I've used 4 other timers through the years in various houses. All were terrible, an absolute pain to set, with finicky buttons, dials, bad displays, etc. What sets this one apart is the programming method. You simply choose the zone you want to program and then select its start time, run time and days to water - all on one intuitive screen. You never have to turn a dial to select each component of the program individually and you see all settings in one location. You then repeat the process for each zone. Contrast this to other timers that make you think in terms of an A, B, or C program and segregate the programming functions and display of set values into their separate functions, i.e., select start time for each zone, select run time for each zone, select days to run for each zone. Once you've tried the approach used by this Rainbird timer, you'll never want to go back to the other approach.

Pros
- Beyond easy to program
- Easy to install
- Flash memory storage of programming so no battery required
- Display of all programming info related to a single zone shown on one screen
- Zone run time allows up to 240 minutes (important if you do occasional deep water using a drip system)
- Displays the next zone run date and time
- Has the usual features such as an input for a rain sensor, seasonal % adjust, master valve connection, odd/even day run settings, up to 4 run times per day on a zone
- The "water now" feature is dead simple to use
- Has a rain delay button that lets you set a specific time period to keep the water system off
- Feels sturdy and well-made
- Great price
- Also comes in a 4 and 9 zone model

Cons (I didn't view these as cons when considering my purchase because the functionality meets all my needs, but others who need more functionality may view them as such)
- You can only set the first start time that a zone waters on a given day, if you select multiple runs for that zone during the same day (up to 4), the timer uses a pre-set number of hours from your first time to determine the other run times
- It only allows for a 7 day cycle. If you want to run a zone, say every 15th day, you can not program it to do so. You can however, set the zone run time with no associated day and then just manually hit the "water now" button when the zone needs water (this is actually my preferred approach for managing certain of my drip zones containing low water use plants as I watch for stress before giving them a deep water)
- It's meant to be mounted in a weather proof location only (I mounted mine inside my garage). I assume you could mount it inside a weather proof case outside.

Summary: Absolutely the best timer if you are looking for a simple to set (and use) timer and you don't have need for the more complex programming described in the "cons" above.
