Review of Orbit Pump Start Relay
This is the second pump start relay I've had to install for my irrigation well in the past three years. Two lightening strikes have required this. The orbit unit is compact and nicely waterproofed. Unfortunately, this unit is just as susceptible to lightening strikes as the Rainbird unit that I had originally used. In fact, the most recent lightening strike was not a direct strike, only a surge through the line. The well pump was protected by a lightening arrestor, and I thought the timer unit was protected by having been unplugged at the time (during the late winter when I had not yet begun irrigation).

I use it as a lighting control...
...and it works great. I've had mine for quite a while now and it is hooked up to my sprinkler control system and activates my low voltage landscape lights. The lighting transformer only draws a maximum of 300 watts and I'm running maybe 200 watts with line loss so I can't speak to how it would work with a larger load. For my application it was easy to install, relatively inexpensive and there have been no problems at all.
be careful
worked twice then shorted out, about catching my house on fire, had it installed by an licensed electrician only had a 1hp pump on the circuit.
