Are you having trouble with your sprinkler controller? Don’t worry—you’re not alone! With so many different models and brands out there, it’s no wonder homeowners can feel overwhelmed. That’s why we at Kaizen Irrigation and Landscaping are on a mission to catalog and understand the vast array of sprinkler controllers available on the market. From traditional analog timers to state-of-the-art smart controllers, we’ve seen it all.

The Evolution of Sprinkler Controllers

Sprinkler controllers have come a long way. Older models rely on manual dials and simple programming, while modern options often feature Wi-Fi connectivity, weather-based scheduling, and smartphone apps. Whether you’re working with a time-tested mechanical controller or the latest high-tech innovation, each system has its quirks and benefits. Our team has encountered countless models during installations, repairs, and maintenance visits, giving us a unique perspective on what works best for different setups.

Common Brands and Models

We’ve worked with controllers from leading brands such as Rain Bird, Hunter, Rachio, Orbit, and Toro, just to name a few. Here are some examples of the types of controllers we frequently come across:
