### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great product
*by M***E on July 22, 2025*

My underground irrigation wire was somehow damaged and i needed to buy a battery operated timer, these are to replace the 24v AC solenoids with DC solenoids, the work great

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality!
*by K***K on October 29, 2025*

Great quality!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfectly as a replacement for DIG 7001 solenoid
*by S***R on August 4, 2014*

Maybe I got lucky, but this item worked perfectly for me. I have an old DIG battery-operated timer, model 7001. The solenoid went out, and the model has been discontinued. I couldn't find a direct replacement (or, rather, I found what MIGHT have been the right thing, but it was too expensive). So I took a chance with this one. I was a bit disconcerted when it arrived, because it indicated "9 to 30V", while the prior one said only "9V". But I wired it up, red to red, black to black. Made sure the battery polarity was correct (important for a latching solenoid, like this one). And it works like a charm. The one slight issue is that it is a little larger than the original, so the main timer casing cannot snap onto the holder properly. But it is still possible to push it in much of the way, so it'll be perfectly stable unless someone nudges it.The latching solenoid is nice - it may prolong battery life, because it requires just a pulse of electricity to shift the solenoid to the open position, then another pulse to release it (a non-latching solenoid requires constant power to hold it open). So, I'm a happy camper.
