  1. Questions To Ask Before Buying an Irrigation Controller There are so many people using smart irrigation controllers nowadays and there are still a few who aren’t. But then again, you should understand that using smart controllers are the easiest and the best ways to water your garden. A lot of irrigation controller manufacture companies provide some great other accessories along with the kit such as Bonaire Dump Valve Kits. These kits include various things and this is the reason why using a smart controller is a great idea for your garden.

  2. However, if you are a newcomer in the world of smart controllers, here are a few questions to ask before you buy the same – What are the parameters to take into account – What sun exposure, what slope, what soil type, what plant material, and what sprinkler head. There's a ton of data that goes into them. But once you set it, it takes all the guesswork out, because it's just doing this. You don’t have to worry about touching your smart controller for years. The controller can keep working for a long and long time – like maybe for the next 10-15 years. There might be a few maintenance in the other parts like for example – the solenoid – because it might blow up – but a bit of maintenance will do it right.

  3. How often does the controller adjust – A smart controller doesn’t need any adjustments once you have set it right. They don’t bother you much once it has been tweaked or adjusted the right way. They will adjust themselves hourly – in the most amazing way. How does the smart controller get all the data – There is a ton of ET based controllers out there. Every manufacturer makes one. Depending on your comfort level with them, they can go anywhere from your basic little sensor device - all the way up to a full blown satellite to where we're getting daily communication off of a satellite. Daily ET downloads off a cell phone. Somehow it's communicating like that.

  4. Does the data cost us – Some of them actually need recurring charges. Although it is an ET based controller, just because it is communicating with something it will cost you the daily and the monthly recurring charges. It helps you to keep up on the data. Do they use historical data – Some of them do. Your zip code has a block of historical data that goes with it. So if you do lose daily communication with a satellite they use the historical data.
