Your Hydrawise system can be configured in two separate programming modes: Advanced Mode and Standard Mode. The four charts below describe the features and benefits of each of the modes. For more information on switching modes, click here.
STANDARD MODE allows you to create traditional irrigation programs using Programs A, B, and C — just like Hunter X-Core® or Pro-C® controllers.
IMPORTANT: The controller model HC does not have the STANDARD MODE feature so this dropdown will not appear in the software.
