Everyone is entitled to their own specific views on this topic but i'm confused on why anyone would not get a Rachio or other computerized irrigation controller as a replacement since they are set and forget and will save you water vs a manual controller which we know from experience will have issues with the rain sensor since they will go bad after about 5 years, need periodic maintenance etc..? I also don't understand why anyone would manually water their property using the irrigation controller. What happens if you go away during the summer months? Just saying.
