Hunter 468000 120/24VAC Sprinkler Controller
A reliable 24VAC sprinkler controller from a trusted brand, but lacks standout features for its price point.
Hunter has been making irrigation controllers for decades, and the 468000 reflects that experience. It runs on standard 120VAC power while switching your sprinkler valves at 24VAC, which is the voltage most residential systems use. That means you get reliable power delivery without needing a transformer upgrade or special wiring.
The controller is compact at 4.5 inches on each side. It mounts directly to the ground, so it works best near a spigot or valve box where you can keep it sheltered from direct rainfall. The corded power supply means you need an outdoor-rated outlet within reach, but once connected, it runs consistently without battery swaps or solar panel fuss.
There are no smart-home bells or Wi-Fi modules here. This is a straightforward unit for someone who wants a no-nonsense controller that does one thing: open and close valves on schedule. If you need app control or weather-based adjustments, look elsewhere. But if you want a workhorse that won’t complicate your weekend watering routine, this Hunter gets the job done.
