IRRIGATION CONTROLLERS + SENSORS + REMOTES

In my 40 years experience I have installed hundreds of professional grade controllers and have stuck with two brands for good reason. They are built tough and are the easiest to operate. THE easiest timer on the market, hands down, is the Irritrol RainDial series. It happens to be the most expensive too. But if “easy” is the most important for you, then this is the one.

Secondly is the Hunter family of timers. They are what I call the second easiest on the market to operate and are fantastic. Because of their price point, I sell more of these. There are many different models to choose from and all the interfaces are nearly identical.

Most of these point to Amazon so I have tried to find the best sellers at the best price and that offer Amazon Prime or at least free shipping. I don’t yet list every model since they are not all available through my affiliates. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Thank you for helping to support this convenient service and the educational Sprinkler Pros YouTube channel. Watch the BEST OF Series to learn about these two great brands of timers.
