Easy to install. Plenty of zones to handle our varying water needs. I was able to rig it up so that the lawn gets water from the well, and the fruit trees and veggies get cleaner city water with fertigation. If you’re looking for an affordable alternative, this irrigation system controller is the one for you!
I love this smart watering controller and especially love the app. The wiring is the hardest part, but it's still pretty easy. The directions are very clear. The app is very cool and makes it super easy to schedule or adjust waterings and to water manually... from anywhere, even out of town on vacation.
After manually running my sprinklers for years, this thing has changed the game. I set up my program to water twice a day in alternating intervals and so far everything seems great. Being able to control it from the phone app is awesome because I can do it from anywhere without having to walk to the side of the house to manually do it.
After installing and setting this irrigation controller up, I was very pleased with how easy it was to program and use, both in scheduled and manual modes. The manual mode was very, very handy when adjusting the sprinkler heads as I could turn each zone on and off remotely, saving a trip back to the garage each time.
