The Benefits of an Irritrol Remote

Connecting an Irritrol remote to your controller and sprinkler system makes irrigation testing, troubleshooting, and maintenance much easier. Instead of walking back and forth between your controller and your emitters, an Irritrol remote allows you to turn zones on and off with the push of a button. This is especially helpful for larger properties and multi-zone systems. The controller is still required for normal scheduling, but the remote adds convenient manual control when you need to service or fine-tune the system. Just make sure the remote is compatible with your specific Irritrol controller model.

Irritrol Remote FAQs

Do I need an irrigation controller alongside my Irritrol remote?

Yes. An Irritrol remote is an accessory, not a standalone sprinkler controller. It is used to start and stop zones from a distance, but the irrigation controller still handles everything else. The remote must be compatible with your specific Irritrol controller model and may require a receiver or connector.

How far does an Irritrol remote work from the controller?

Irritrol’sClimate Logic remotes are rated for up to 1,000 feet line-of-sight, while some other remote kits are rated for up to 1 mile line-of-sight. The actual range can be shorter if there are walls, hills, trees, or other obstructions between the remote and the receiver.

Can Irritrol remotes be used with other brands of controllers?

Irritrol remotes are usually designed for specific compatible controllers, so they may not work with every brand. Some Irritrol remotes also include an adapter that can connect to additional controllers, but compatibility still varies. Basic Irritrol remotes may only work with select Irritrol models.
