A masterpiece of modern technology that brings together the most desirable features, bundles them in a small, attractive package, and makes everything simple and easy to use. The new EC is designed for those who don’t want a big controller, but do want one with all the features that meet their irrigation requirements. Available in 2-, 4- and 6-station indoor and outdoor models, the EC offers all the features you would expect to find only on more expensive units – on-screen water budgeting for seasonal adjustment, interval watering options, station delay, one-touch manual start and advance and non-volatile memory (plus, it boasts a sturdy protective cabinet that includes a lockable case).
