Solar Powered Controllers
DIG’s ECO1™ line of solar (ambient light) powered irrigation controllers is available with an anti-siphon valve, inline valve, or actuator to retrofit brass or plastic manual anti-siphon valves. The controllers’ power is derived via a patented, time-tested internal photovoltaic module and microelectronic energy management system that is fueled by the surrounding ambient light. After being charged, this efficient energy system provides enough power for the timer to function at any time, night or day, and in any weather with no direct sunlight required. This energy system also makes the solar powered controller environmentally friendly, functioning only on clean renewable solar power without the need for a backup battery or AC power. The ECO1 solar powered irrigation controllers are available with programming flexibility, including the latest in water conservation features, to allow better operation of drip or sprinkler systems, day and night, and throughout the year without the use of AC power or batteries.
ECO1™ ILV Single Station Solar Powered Controller with 3/4″ Inline Valve
DIG’s ECO1™ILV is an advanced single-station solar powered irrigation controller mounted on a 3/4″ in-line valve for use with drip irrigation or sprinkler systems. 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.

ECO1™ ASV Single Station solar Powered Controller with 3/4″ Anti-Siphon Valve
DIG ECO1™ASV solar powered irrigation controller mounted on a 3/4” anti-siphon valve can be used with drip irrigation or sprinkler systems. The anti-siphon valve features flow control with internal and external bleed and is used to protect the household water supply from contamination. The controller’s 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. The ECO1™’s main features include 20 preset programs of historical Evapotranspiration (ET) for spray heads and drip irrigation with an editing feature that can be used as part of the controller programming. Combining one of the historical Evapotranspiration preset programs and a rain sensor can help seasonally adjust or prevent unnecessary watering and save water. After installation, no further visits to the controller are required.
