Robust Scheduling. Intuitive Interface.

Hunter controllers are generally easy to program for both homeowners and professionals. When you receive your new sprinkler timer, you’ll find simple menus and buttons that guide you step‑by‑step through scheduling without confusing jargon. In minutes, you can easily set watering days, start times, and run durations for each zone of your setup. For some Hunter smart controllers, you’ll also have the opportunity to input seasonal adjustments and connect sensors, assuming you have any rain or freeze sensors to connect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a Hunter controller with non-Hunter irrigation components?

Hunter controllers are designed to be compatible with a wide range of irrigation components. However, it’s essential to check the product specifications and consult the manual to ensure compatibility with specific non-Hunter equipment.

What’s the difference between standard and smart Hunter controllers?

Standard Hunter controllers follow the fixed schedules you set, while smart controllers adapt automatically to weather and conditions. A Hunter smart controller can adjust its watering based on real-time weather data. Many models also connect via Wi-Fi, allowing you to monitor and edit schedules from your phone or computer. With such flexible watering capabilities, they help reduce waste over time.

How many zones can a Hunter controller run?

Hunter irrigation controllers can run anywhere from 4 to 32 zones at the same time, accommodating both small residential systems and large commercial ones. The Hunter PRO-HC 24 Station WiFi Indoor/Outdoor Controller is an example of a more robust Hunter controller that can manage 24 watering zones at the same time. Meanwhile, the Hunter X-CORE 4 Station Indoor Controller is more suited for smaller setups.

How do I program watering schedules on my Hunter controller?

Programming instructions can vary between models, but generally, you’ll navigate through the controller’s interface to set start times, watering days, and duration.

Can I manually override the programmed schedule on my Hunter WiFi controller?

Most of our Hunter smart controllers allow manual override, enabling you to start or stop watering outside of the programmed schedule. We advise to refer to your specific controller’s manual for instructions on manual operation.
