Netafim Aqua Pro Controller for Single-Zone Battery Irrigation
The Netafim Aqua Pro controller automates one irrigation zone on two LR1130 batteries. It puts a valve on a schedule where running power is not practical. It carries an IP67 waterproof rating for wet greenhouse and outdoor spots. Five operating modes cover once-a-day, selected-day, and three-times-a-day watering. Run times set from 1 minute to 11h 59m.
Mounting and Wiring a Battery-Operated Irrigation Controller
Growers clip it to a 3/4 in PVC riser or a wall adapter right at the valve. A DC latching solenoid drives from the four-button panel. When the box needs to sit away from the valve, remote wiring reaches up to 300 ft on #16 wire. IP67 sealing means a wash-down or a rain event will not kill it. Batteries are included, so it programs out of the box.
