My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Best Irrigation Control Box?

17 years ago

Hello,

I normally hang out in the Roses forums, but have a question that's best posted here I think. I was wondering whether anyone could recommend a high-quality control box for my irrigation system.

I need a box with a clock that allows me to set an automated irrigation program that can handle at least 6 stations and 2-3 programming modes. We have several microclimates in our gardens and use a variety of irrigation methods (drip, different types of sprinklers). We also use different water quantities and frequencies for the various stations.

I discovered this morning that the control box for my irrigation system is not working properly. It gave us close to 30 years(!!) of good service, so I suppose it's time to put it out to pasture.

Thank you in advance for any recommendations or experience you can share.

Cheers,

Deca
