Hunter Sprinkler XC800 X-Core 8-Station Outdoor Only Sprinkler Timer

The Hunter Sprinkler XC800 X-Core 8-Station Outdoor Only Sprinkler Timer provides centralized control for outdoor irrigation systems. Built specifically for outdoor mounting, this unit helps manage watering routines across multiple landscape zones without needing an indoor setup.

This unit allows you to manage up to 8 individual stations, offering flexibility for property layouts. You can configure up to 3 independent programs, each accommodating 4 distinct start times. This structure gives you control over when and how frequently each watering station runs.

Maintenance and system checks are simplified through built-in diagnostic tools. The integrated Hunter Quick Check feature assists in identifying and troubleshooting field wiring issues directly. Additionally, the unit features Hunter remote capability accessible via an optional Smart Port, which helps simplify installation and routine maintenance tasks. However, this timer is strictly rated for outdoor installation, and remote functionality requires purchasing the optional Smart Port separately.

Verdict: The Hunter Sprinkler XC800 X-Core is a solid choice for property owners who need to manage up to 8 irrigation stations from an outdoor location. Its flexible programming options and diagnostic tools make it ideal for structured landscape maintenance, provided you keep in mind that remote control depends on an optional accessory.

A great fit if you:

• Need to control up to 8 separate watering stations from an outdoor controller location.
• Want flexible scheduling options with up to 3 programs and 4 start times per program.
• Prefer built-in troubleshooting features like Hunter Quick Check to identify field wiring issues.

Consider something else if you:
