Irrigation Controller
We had the Hunter controller and it was cumbersome to use with wi-fi and never worked very well. It would run even when rain was predicted or it had rained that day.
We switched to Rachio and found it to be a MUCH better system for us. It ties into our local area weather forecast in TV (and will soon be connected to the weather station we’re installing) for even more accurate performance.
We saved over $1,000 in irrigation bills our first year (and > 100,000 gallons of water) vs the Hunter system. No more $200/mo. irrigation bills for our 1/4 ac property. They’re now between $0 - $50/mo with Rachio.
We’ve saved even more ($ and water) this year with the new AI features they’ve downloaded to the system, making it even more efficient.
I think the 8 zone Rachio system controller was $160 and was very simple to install, taking about 20 mins.
