No Power? No Problem! Use Hunter Battery-Operated Controllers for a Variety of Situations

Traffic medians, roundabouts, rural properties, construction sites, municipal parks…they’re all places that typically lack a traditional source of electric power. Which means they’re the type of sites where you would have to make do without an automatic irrigation system.

Thanks to Hunter’s battery-operated Smart Valve Controller (SVC) and Wireless Valve System (WVC), anyone who maintains a landscape in these kinds of locations can quickly and effortlessly enjoy all the benefits of automatic irrigation.

Both the SVC and WVC are ruggedly built and easy to understand. And reliable, too—battery life is assured through a full season, making replacement (of a single 9V battery) a simple annual task. The products’ latching solenoid design requires minimal power consumption and provides extended battery life.

In addition to the sites noted above, consider using an SVC or WVC for these situations, as well:

• New installations where the landscaping is going in before the power is hooked up (to keep plants alive)
• Service calls where wiring is cut (to keep things watered until you can find time to fix the wire)
• Adding a valve when no extra wire is available
• Converting a manual system when no power is available
• Service calls when the controller isn’t working and you don’t have a replacement controller on your truck

Hunter battery-operated controllers are fully submersible and waterproof up to 12 feet, making it rugged enough to take on whatever water, mud, and debris might be found in a valve box environment. And, with all installed components hidden away safely underground and out of view, the products are also truly vandal-resistant.

In addition, the SVC and WVC are weather sensor compatible. So, you can add on a Hunter Mini-Clik®, Rain-Clik™, and/or Freeze-Clik® sensor, making it possible for your irrigation system to automatically shut off in times of inclement weather, ensuring that watering doesn’t take place when it isn’t needed.

For isolated sites or power-restricted areas—even for the special needs of drip zones—Hunter battery-operated controllers are your solution. Stop by your authorized Hunter distributor soon and keep some on hand.
