- In irrigation is a device for sprinkler systems that automatically turns on and off, for specific periods of time, each zone in the watering system. The controller is also often referred to as a clock or timer.
- This is the brain of the sprinkler system. The controller automatically opens and closes valves according to a preset schedule. Rain Bird controllers have easy-to-set programs to help you efficiently manage seasonal adjustments. Rain Bird also has sensors that signal the controller to shut off the system when it rains. An automatic controller is usually more water-efficient that operating sprinklers manually.
