DIG ECO1 MVA Solar Powered Irrigation Controller Manual Valve Actuator

ECO1™ MVA Single Station Solar Powered Irrigation Controller with 3/4" Actuator

DIG's ECO1™ MVA is an advanced single-station solar-powered irrigation controller mounted on a 3/4” actuator and is used to automate a 3/4” or 1” manual anti-siphon valve. Power is derived via a patented, time-tested internal photovoltaic module and microelectronic energy management system that is fueled by ambient light (solar). This provides power to the controller through the day anytime, anywhere and in any weather.

The controller uses features that include five start times per day, watering duration of up to 5 hours and 59 minutes, Manual Run, Monthly Budget, Rain Off with restart in up to 99 days, System Off and Irrigation Off for any month of the year. It also has additional features that include daily watering restrictions that can be used on any watering event that requires curbing by cites and municipalities.
