Irrigation Timers, or controllers, are the brain behind every irrigation system.
Timers help us sleep in peace knowing our lawn will be watered consistently day after day. With multiple station operation, automated on and off times, and variable watering days; watering plants has never been easier or more efficient. Worried about changes in weather? Add a weather sensor, or choose to turn your timer into a smart controller to account for changes in your local weather!
