Which controller is suitable for my irrigation system?
Power present → 24 V or smart, no power → 9 V, always install in a dry environment.
Which control system is right for you depends on the power supply and installation location.
If you have a power supply, you can use a classic 24 V controller (e.g. Hunter X-Core) or a smart WiFi controller (e.g. Hunter HPC).
Without a power supply, you can use a battery-powered controller – there are also models with app/Bluetooth/WiFi. For this, you will need 9 V solenoid valves.
Important: The voltage of the control unit must match the voltage of the valves (9 V ↔ 9 V, 24 V ↔ 24 V).
Equally important: never install controllers in a shaft or valve box. They are splash-proof, but they must not be submerged in water. You can install them in the utility room, in the garage or outside on the wall of the house – but always in a location that is somewhat protected from the weather.
In short: Select the appropriate voltage, mount the control unit in a dry place, do not place it in the valve box.
