Control Brands
One of the questions most frequently asked is what
brand of control is the best for me? There are a few
factors that generally affect your control choice.
  • Brand of valves: often times installation is much
    easier if you choose valves and controls that are
    the same brand
  • Location of Purchase: many suppliers carry only
    one brand of irrigation supplies, thus most people
    decide to use that brand
Here are a few of the leading brands for irrigation
controls with links to their websites:
I would highly recommend Rain Bird as a controller
choice, as I have extensive personal experience with
their products, but I have also have heard excellent
reviews on Orbit and Toro, so take a look at their
websites, give their support line a call, and see
which system will work best for you.
