Rain Bird TRU8O Zone Based Irrigation Timer

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD TRU8O is a zone-based irrigation controller designed for residential and light commercial sprinkler systems. It delivers reliable scheduling control across multiple watering zones from a single, compact indoor unit. The controller features superior surge protection to guard connected valves against electrical spikes, and its sealed construction protects internal components from dust and moisture. An impact-resistant transformer adds long-term durability in installation environments where physical stress is a concern. This unit is suited for licensed irrigators and knowledgeable DIYers managing multi-zone lawn and landscape systems.

The TRU8O is intended for indoor installation and connects to a standard electrical outlet via plug-in power. It is designed for zone-based setups where individual valve circuits require independent scheduling. Valve fault protection helps prevent damage from short circuits or wiring faults in the field. The controller is packaged individually and ships as a single unit, making it a straightforward replacement or new-installation option for residential irrigation systems.
