The economical X2™ controller continues the legacy set by the popular X-Core® with the same set of reliable and highly efficient capabilities, but brings irrigation management into the next generation by providing the option to add advanced water-saving features using Hunter’s industry-leading wireless Hydrawise™ technology. With the X2, contractors can keep the familiar dial-based programming style offered by X-Core. If they choose to upgrade to cloud-based Hydrawise management with the purchase of the WAND Wifi Module, programming is familiar, fast, and easy thanks to a helpful setup wizard using a smartphone or desktop device.

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.
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!
Great piece of kit works perfectly well. Delivery was before expected date, and fit the same day 👍
I have used many Hunter controllers over more than 20 years. Always very happy with the controllers, the ease of set up, watering options available and the reliability
The controller worked perfectly, it was easy to install and to set up .
However I was disappointed that it has a life of only 5 years unless I am prepared to reprogram it every time I have a power outage as the back up battery will be dead and has no replacement. I can of course add a WAND at a cost of $189, and I do see anywhere what the life expectancy is of the WAND. I cannot help but wonder if it also has a similar life.
One of the best things I’ve done recently, buying a watering unit that had a wireless module. I’ve had the non wireless Hunter watering system for yonks so this was a complete upgrade. From start to finish about 1 hour for the change over and connection to wireless. Love the Hunter app / website, just tops!
