</span></span>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span><span><span>No need to bring along a variety of different-sized controllers to see which one is best for the job. With its ability to customize to the particular size you need (from 3 to 15 stations), the Pro-C will always be the right choice. A modular system also makes inventory a breeze–there are only three different units to stock (indoor cabinets, outdoor cabinets and station modules). But, modularity isn’t all this controller has to offer, with great features such as three programs with multiple start times, independent day scheduling options, “one touch” manual start and rapid advance, a programmable event day off, robust heavy-duty locking plastic cabinet, and superior surge protection. Pro-C: delivering maximum flexibility for landscapes that require a minimal number of stations.</span></span></span></p>

<p><strong>Simple-to-Program Irrigation Controllers</strong></p>
<p>Rain Bird’s Simple-to-Program (STPi) Controllers are the easiest controllers in the irrigation industry to program and operate. In fact, the STPi controller is so easy to operate you won’t even need to read the instructions.</p>
<p><strong>Application</strong></p>
<p>The STPi Controller is an indoor controller that has 4, 6 or 9 zone capability. The STPi Controller allows the user to simply enter a custom irrigation schedule for each zone that matches the plants specific irrigation needs.</p>
<p><strong>Outstanding Results</strong></p>
<p>Simple to use “At-a-Glance” programming allows you to see all of the irrigation schedule information for each specific zone at the same time on the controller.</p>
<ul>
<li>Independent zone control gives you the flexibility to easily accommodate the diverse watering needs of each zone.</li>
<li>The STPi controller allows you to use multiple start times per day on an individual zone basis, helping you maintain a healthier lawn and garden.</li>
<li>The Adjust Water feature enables you to easily increase or decrease the irrigation schedule as needed.</li>
<li>In the event of a prolonged rain, you can easily suspend the irrigation schedule up to 72 hours using the controller’s Rain Delay feature.</li>
<li>The Water Now feature allows you to simply apply additional water to irrigate a zone without impacting that zone’s previously set schedule.</li>
<li>To help manage water restrictions, the controller can be set up to only water on specific days of the week or “odd or even” days.</li>
<li>The current date and time, as well as the irrigation schedule are saved in the event of a power outage due to the controller’s non-volatile memory.</li>
