Domestic Irrigation Controllers FAQs

How long do I need to run my system for?

There’s no single answer for any system because of a range of factors. So work with trial and error. If you’ve got no idea, maybe start at 5-10 mins. Then think about watering days depending on the time of year, if it’s summer, everyday, but winter maybe once a week.

Can I get away with placing my indoor controller outside?

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.

Can I run my system manually from the controller?

Yes, irrigation controllers typically have a manual function, this will allow you to both operate all zones, or each one individually as you please.

Will an irrigation controller operate all zones at once, or one at a time?

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.

Do I need a rain sensor?

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!

Hunter X core 4 zone external unit

Excellent product and is the third unit I have purchased . Delivery is prompt and when queried for various matters are always there to assist.

Quick delivery and easy to install

Excellent product

I was replacing an earlier model which I had had for some 20 years.
The model I received from you did not include a full manual only the quick start version. However I still had the old manual which was fine for the new installation.
Working well.
