Irrigate Sites Where Electrical Power is not
Readily Available...
Reduce overall system installation costs
Paying an electrical utility company to provide
an electrical power source to a remote site can
be very costly. In these cases, it is much more
prudent to avoid these costly fees by installing
a battery-powered irrigation controller
rather than a traditional electrically powered
irrigation controller. By using the Hunter SVC
or WVC battery-powered controller on these
systems, clients will be furnished vandal-
resistant and reliable system operation at a
much lower overall installed cost.
Irrigate Remote Landscapes...
When valve wire runs are not possible
If you have chosen not to irrigate an area
because of the inability or extreme difficulty of
getting valve control wires from the irrigation
controller to each individual valve, then
the Hunter SVC or WVC battery-powered
controller is the perfect
choice.
A common application
in which contractors have
found a battery-powered
controller to be an ideal
choice is on street median
landscapes as it can be
extremely difficult and
costly, not to mention dangerous, to run
electrical power or valve wires across a busy
street.
Retrofit or Repair Existing Systems...
No wires make it an easy process
You are faced with an irrigation system
that has some challenging troubleshooting
issues. Two common scenarios in which a
battery-powered controller would be an ideal
solution are:
1. An additional valve needs to be added to
a system because the zone is hydraulically
overloaded due to too many sprinklers
installed on the zone.
2. Valve wires have been damaged causing
a particular valve not to operate. The
prospect of adding another valve, running
additional wire, or identifying and fixing
the damaged valve wire is cost-prohibitive.
Using a Hunter SVC or WVC battery-
powered controller makes a system retrofit or
valve wire repair an easy process.
Temporary Solution for a Site Without
Standard Electrical Power...
When the landscaping must go in right now!
There are many
times when a
contractor must
go onto a job site
and install all the
plant material along
roadways and
entrances before
electrical power has
been established for an irrigation controller
hookup. Many developers like to have
aesthetically pleasing areas in public view to
bring customers into a new development. At
this point the irrigation contractor has one of
two choices:
1. Pay a crewmember to go to the job
site frequently to manually open each
individual control valve, wait for the
zone to be irrigated completely, and then
manually shut down each individual control
valve.
2. Install a battery-powered controller on the
valves for a temporary automatic watering
solution.
Obviously, the most cost-effective solution
is to install a battery-powered controller to
provide temporary automatic irrigation.
