DIG Solar Powered Controller with 3/4" FPT in-line Valve
ECO1™ ILV Single Station Ambient Light Powered Controller with 3/4” Inline Valve
The ECO1™ILV is an advanced single station ambient light (solar) powered irrigation controller mounted on a ¾" inline valve for use with drip irrigation or sprinkler systems. Power is derived via a patented time-tested, internal photovoltaic module and microelectronic energy management system that is fueled by ambient light (solar). This provides power to the controller through the day anytime, anywhere and in any weather.
The ECO™ILV ambient light (solar) powered irrigation controller on inline valve uses features that include five start times per day, durations of up to 5 hours and 59 minutes, Manual Run, Monthly Budget, Rain Off with restart in up to 99 days, System Off and Irrigation Off for any month of the year. The controller also has additional features that include daily watering restriction that can be used on any watering event that requires curbing by cites and municipalities
