Key Features of a DC Valve-Mounted Controller

A battery-operated controller can prove beneficial for anyone who doesn’t want to deal with excessive electrical wiring. These controllers run on long-lasting batteries, providing operation for up to a year or more. Having a valve-mounted controller also reduces the need for additional enclosures or space. Since they’re easy to set up and work with a wide range of valves, DC valve-mounted controllers are a great choice for most types of irrigation systems.

Battery-Operated (DC) Valve Mounted Controller FAQs

Where is the best place to install a battery-powered controller?

These controllers are especially useful for remote locations, like greenhouses, gardens, and other systems without access to electrical outlets. Because of their quick installation, valve-mounted controllers are also popular at construction sites or temporary landscaping projects.

How do I install a battery-operated valve-mounted controller?

Start by turning off the water and connecting the controller directly to a compatible solenoid valve. Next, insert the batteries and secure the controller onto the valve. Once everything is attached, you can program the watering schedule to best suit your plants.

Can these controllers handle multiple zones?

It depends. Battery-powered irrigation controllers will have varying levels of zone capacity, but at Sprinkler Warehouse, you will be able to find several controllers that support up to 6 zones or more. Be sure to review each valve box controller’s details on the product page before deciding on which is best for your irrigation system.
