Hunter 44008068 X-core 8 Station Indoor Controller

Product Description

The HUNTER 44008068 is an 8-station indoor irrigation controller designed for residential sprinkler systems. It supports up to 3 independent programs with 4 start times each, giving installers flexible scheduling options without complex configuration. The X-CORE operates on line voltage and uses conventional wiring, making it compatible with standard solenoid valve setups already common in residential installations. The wall-mount enclosure is rated for indoor use and is built from plastic construction. Optional Solar Sync ET sensor integration allows the controller to adjust runtimes automatically based on locally measured weather data, converting a basic timer into a weather-responsive system without replacing the unit.

This controller is suited for residential irrigation applications where straightforward setup and reliable zone control are the primary requirements. It is appropriate for single-family homes and light multi-zone landscapes requiring up to 8 fixed stations. The optional Solar Sync sensor expands its capability for water-conserving operation. The X-CORE is also compatible with Hunter remote controls, allowing wireless activation of irrigation zones during system testing or manual operation in the field.
