In rare applications, like on a wall under a well covered patio where the space is 100% dry all the time & not exposed to the sun, an indoor controller will continue to operate without issue. But if you’re not sure, we recommend installing an outdoor model. If something does go wrong with your controller due to water damage or the LCD screen failing from sun exposure, the warranty is voided so it’s not worth the risk.
Yes, irrigation controllers typically have a manual function, this will allow you to both operate all zones, or each one individually as you please.
Domestic irrigation controllers will always operate zones one at a time. Even if you try to operate 2 to come on at the same time, the controller will automatically delay the operation of the second zone until after the first zone has finished running.
In some states a rain sensor is mandatory, but regardless it’s something you should include in your irrigation system. Having your system turn on in the middle of a day of rain is not only embarrassing, it’s a terrible waste of water & the overwatering is bad for your garden!
I looked at a number of other timers. This one has solenoid valves which is a plus. Good quality fittings. Easy to set up and expand
Tip: Use 18mm hose -2m to connect to 19mm Poly piping. More flexibility.
Also - you need a pressure regulator to
get psi down to 30 drippers - otherwise you will damage the system.
Bought this unit to replace an identical one that was more than 5 years old
Easy to assemble and operate, no complicated computer programs
The new unit developed a fault but SunshowerOnline responded promptly and replaced it, even paying for return post and supply of address label
Very impressed with after sales service
