Forget following that winding trail to find an accessible outlet. Hunter Industries’ new XC Hybrid Controller brings you the power without the plug. With all the great water management features of the XC Controller, the new XC Hybrid operates DC latching solenoids with battery or solar power.
Ready for outdoor or indoor installation, the XC Hybrid comes in 6 and 12 station models, meaning it is your solution for a wide range of residential and commercial applications. Small residential areas, parks, gardens, roadway medians and roundabouts are ready for the XC Hybrid. Presenting Hunter. Unplugged.
Features such as a 365 day calendar, three independent programs (each with four start times), global seasonal adjustment and station-controlled sensors mean saving a little water and a lot of money. And we’ve got you covered: With ‘Easy Retrieve’ memory backup and on-board, non-volatile memory, you’ve got the assurance to recall all the controller’s watering programs.
Must be used with Solenoid Valves with DC Latching Coils.

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!
