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.

Battery Powered Controllers FAQs

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!

Excellent Battery Water Controller

We have used these for years. No need for 240 volt wiring & not messed up by lengthy power outages! Simple & easy to use. Reliable. We haven't had any issues with ours. Just put new batteries in when we need to start watering each late Spring and they last for the season. Like their cover which protects them from the elements. Sunshoweronline have the best prices and fast delivery! Very Happy Customer!
