Hydro-Rain’s HRC 900 is the only dual-program, battery-powered controller on the market. Because it runs on batteries, it’s the perfect solution for watering isolated areas, such as landscaped islands, where it would be difficult or impossible to run wires. And because it controls up to four valves with two separate programs and three cycle start times per program, it sets a new standard for battery-powered controllers. It’s also waterproof and tough enough to take the extremes of living in an underground valve box in stride. The HRC 900 may not be big, but it’s a heavyweight performer.
