How do you install an irrigation controller?
Installation depends on the type of sprinkler controller you have. Most are plug and play into an existing powerpoint. A wall-mounted model must be wired to the electrical system and placed at eye level near an electrical outlet. To set up a smart controller, you must have a local WiFi connection and pair it with an app on your smartphone, tablet or computer.
How do I choose an irrigation controller?
Before you buy an irrigation controller, know the number of zones you will be watering. A zone is a landscape section with plants with similar water requirements. Residential landscapes usually have between 2 and 9 zones, while commercial landscapes can have 30 or more zones. Look for a controller with more zones than you need to allow for future expansion.
The next important factor is the number of programs in the controller. A program lets you set a watering schedule for a certain day of the week. Most irrigation timers will have two or more programs. At The Landscape Store, you can choose from our extensive selection of sprinkler controllers.
