A weather-based controller can adjust schedules to conditions, but it still needs correct zone settings and sound irrigation hardware. Rancho Water has a current program for eligible customers; check eligibility before buying.
When a smart controller may help
Count stations and note whether the current controller, wiring and valves work. A weather-based timer may improve scheduling, but it cannot fix a leaking valve, broken head or poor coverage.
Inspection and repair steps
- Check compatibility, station count and existing faults.
- Discuss a weather-based model and current district eligibility.
- Install, set local zone details and test all stations and sensor behavior.
