Proper Sprinkler Controller repair is one of the most important components to a top performing sprinkler system and ultimately a beautiful and healthy landscape. To achieve the best result, the controller should be tested 2 or 3 times a year to monitor that it is fully functional and the programs set for the highest benefit to your landscape according to the changing weather temperatures. Controllers are susceptible to power surges and lightning strikes. A faulty controller can over water or under water your plant material. If you suspect that your controller is not functioning properly, it is important to open a service call to address it before you run up a higher than usually water bill or have plants perish in the dry conditions.
Blue Sky Rain Controller Repair Services include trouble-shooting, assessment, repair, whole-unit replacement and setting the controller. If you do not know how to use your controller, your Blue Sky Rain technician will be happy to show you how. Blue Sky Rain provides only professional grade controllers from Hunter and Rain Bird, including the “Node,” battery operated controller from Hunter. The newest introduction to our controller line is a Wi-fi based system by Rachio.
