Irrigation from a private well adds pump and water-supply constraints that a controller designed around municipal pressure may not solve by itself.
What matters most
The controller must work with the existing pump relay or master-valve setup and should make it easy to avoid overlapping demand that exceeds well recovery or pressure capacity.
Where buyers get tripped up
A smart schedule can still overdraw the system if it ignores pump duty cycle, storage-tank capacity, or low-yield well recovery.
What to verify before buying
Confirm pump-start relay compatibility, master-valve support, zone timing, minimum pressure requirements, and any pump-protection controls already present.
How we research smart irrigation
We compare water source, delivery method, zone or plant capacity, local fallback controls, schedule logic, connectivity, sensors, pump or valve compatibility, subscriptions, and what happens when internet service is unavailable.
Prices, specifications, firmware, inventory, and configuration-driven features can change. Check the current manufacturer or retailer page and local requirements before buying or installing equipment.
