ECx 6-Station Outdoor Sprinkler Timer

The Toro ECX Outdoor Timer is as easy to program as setting an alarm clock and its smart modular design makes it the only timer that can expand to incorporate new landscape additions quickly, easily and cost-effectively. The Toro ECX timer has three programs for independent scheduling of lawn, shrubs, ground cover and drip irrigation. Grass will have a very specific watering schedule, or program, such as every other day. Planters are watered 3 times a week, and if trees are planted, they will need their own program as well. Additionally, 4 start times per program provide flexibility to establish new grass and effectively reduces run-off. Multiple start times per day are sometimes necessary to provide enough water without over-watering. This is especially important when starting a new lawn, irrigating slopes or if there is extreme heat. The ECX has both calendar (specific days of the week: Monday/Wednesday/Friday etc.) and interval (every 2nd or 3rd, 4th day, odd, even, etc.) programming capabilities. Season adjust feature permits you to make adjustments to the watering schedule (percentage increase or decrease) by program instead of zone by zone. Rain delay postpones watering for 1 to 7 days without programming changes. The ECX has a battery back-up and non-volatile memory. In the event of a power failure, the timer will remember the set program even without an installed battery. The battery will keep the timer operating up to 72 hr. The Toro ECX accepts the Toro Rain Switch, available separately. Expandable from 6 to 12 zones with the separate purchase 2-zone expansion modules.
