Galt Technology, Inc. - Irrigation Controller Reviews and Buying Guide

The brains of your sprinkler system is called the irrigation controller, or sprinkler timer or clock. The irrigation controller allows you to set the sprinkler system in your yard or business to come on at certain times of the day and gives you the freedom of leaving the system to run itself. Irrigation controllers have become easier to setup and the ability to control different zones on your property allows for the best watering system without all the work of hand watering. You can define each zone based on water needs. The latest products like the Hunter XC-800i ($120) give you an 8 station indoor controller with 3 unique programs and 4 start times per program. The average homeowner doesn't need all these programs and start times, but if you have lots of flower beds or sections of lawn, it may come in handy. A less expensive option may be the Rainbird ESP-6TM ($89) with 6 stations and two independent programs (A & B). Hunter and Rain Bird are the most recognized names in residential irrigation controllers and are definitely worth the look. What features should you look for in a new sprinkler timer? What do the expert landscapers say about the best irrigation controllers? We have all the answers and information below...

History: Galt Technology, Inc. has the unique claim to fame of literally being one of the oldest websites in the world. We got our start publishing online in 1994 and established our domain name in early 1995. What does this mean? Out of all the big-name sites out there, only Yahoo is older than us. We were around before Amazon, before Ebay, before Expedia, before PayPal, before ESPN.com, way before Google, before Craigslist. You name it, we were here first. As the Internet boom of 2000 approached, we were consistently ranked among the top 500 sites in the world. We are proud to think that this group of 500 helped create the Internet -- we were among the core early sites that created compelling online content that drove millions and millions of users to come online and visit our site, seeking out our reviews, newsletter, guides, software, and digital photos (back in the day when almost nobody had a digital camera!).
Today, we are best known for our Internet Guides, Buying Guides, Travel Guides, and product reviews. We compile and research tons of information, combine that with real world experiences, and present it in an organized, easy-to-read fashion that saves our visitors hours of time from doing their own research. We're happy to hear your input or suggestions for new topics.

As we approach our 15th anniversary of being in business, we continue to serve the Internet community. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site. And we thank the 10's of millions of visitors who have made Galt Technology a success.
