jmurphy,

It is not a company I have heard much about. They are from Alabama. Hunter recently bought an irrigation line from them so they must be professional level. Have the contractor give you quotes from other suppliers. The price differential should tell you something. Get more than one contractor to give a quote will tell you even more. Warranties are tricky things. Anytime you need a repair or adjustment you have to call the contractor who will tell you it is not a manufacturers defect and need to charge you. Most problems will stem from causes other than a factory defect. Let us know the different quotes so others can learn from your experience. Thanks and aloha.

fwiw;
I installed a new pump and sprinkler system with nelson popup impulse heads in a home I bought in 78 and sold in 89... never replaced a single head... had to clean out roots occasionally.

I've used nelson valves for 20 years in the greenhouse ranges. Have about 275. Occasionally replace a solenoid, that's about it. You'll like the ez-pro jr - I put in a couple last year- love em. My only complaint is the controller housing is not sunlight resistant - you must mount the controller indoors or it turns yellow and brittle.

I had another contractor out to look at my property today I will post what his quote was when I get it. He is using all different equipment (hunter heads, irritrol valves, hunter controller. Thank you all for your responses. Verdure 1 thanks for the comments on the controller. It will be mounted in the basement or the garage so the uv rays should not be a factor.

I have a Nelson sprinkler system controller #8425 and the LED screen is out. Can I use another Nelson controller model in it's place that will operate the system without having to change other parts?

Hi Sonny,

Is this a modular system? What other parts do you have in mind? Are you talking about the controller only as a system or the entire irrigation system of which the controller is a part? Aloha
