Benefits of Using an Irrigation Remote

The main draw of a remote control sprinkler system is that you can turn zones on and off from anywhere within range. Adjusting schedules in real time, such as when you want to extend watering time on a hot day or reduce it after a heavy rain, is seamless. Similarly, a remote controller helps with troubleshooting sprinkler issues without running back to the controller over and over. This also means that you’ll ultimately reduce water waste with quick manual control. Remote sprinkler systems are ideal for large properties or systems with multiple zones.

Universal Irrigation Remote FAQs

Can I use any controller for a sprinkler system?

Most of the universal irrigation remotes at Sprinkler Warehouse are compatible with many of the major irrigation controller brands. Still, be sure to check the compatibility of the remote with your existing irrigation controller.

How do I install a universal irrigation remote?

Most universal irrigation remotes come with a receiver that connects to your irrigation controller. This could involve plugging a receiver unit into a specific port on the controller or wiring it in, depending on the system. If it’s a wireless receiver, make sure it’s within range of the irrigation controller and the remote.

How far away can a universal irrigation remote control my system?

Several factors can directly affect controller range. Receiver placement can affect signal strength and range, and obstructions like buildings, trees, and walls can reduce the effective range. However, many basic models can control your irrigation system within at least 500 feet of the receiver.
