Hunter Battery Sprinkler Timer 1-Zone Controller with 1in PGV Valve, IP68 Waterproof, Battery Powered

Hunter NODE-100-VALVE is a battery-powered, waterproof 1-zone irrigation controller that ships pre-assembled with a 1" PGV valve and DC latching solenoid for fast, no-wiring installs.

Designed for professionals and serious DIYers who need dependable watering where AC power isn't available, the NODE-100-VALVE combines a compact wireless controller with a factory-installed Hunter PGV-101G valve. The unit is IP68-rated and submersible up to 12 feet, making it suitable for valve boxes, muddy sites, and locations subject to flooding. Programming is straightforward: three separate programs, up to four start times each, seasonal adjustment from 10–150%, and a 99-day programmable off feature for temporary shutoffs. It also supports drip systems, Hunter rain sensors, and an optional solar panel for extended battery life.

How quickly can I install the NODE-100-VALVE without power or extra parts?

Installation is built around speed and simplicity: the valve comes pre-assembled to the controller with a DC latching solenoid, eliminating on-site solenoid swaps or additional wiring. The NODE runs on one or two 9V alkaline batteries (not included), so you can finish a zone hookup in minutes and leave without needing AC hookups or conduit.

• Includes pre-installed 1" Hunter PGV-101G valve with flow control.
• DC latching solenoid reduces current draw and simplifies wiring.
• Operates on one or two 9V alkaline batteries—no mains required.
• Compact footprint fits standard valve boxes and tight retrofit spaces.

What features make the NODE-100-VALVE reliable in wet or harsh conditions?

The NODE is engineered for outdoor durability with an IP68 rating, meaning it is dust-tight and fully submersible to 12 feet. That level of protection protects electronics and the valve assembly from standing water, mud, and the typical hazards found in valve boxes and landscape installations.

• IP68 waterproof housing resists rain and flooding.
• Submersible up to 12 feet—safe in deep valve boxes or flooded areas.
• Rugged materials and sealed connections for long-term outdoor use.
• Pre-assembled valve reduces leak points and installation errors.

How flexible is the programming for different watering needs?

Programming balances simplicity with professional flexibility: three independent programs, each with up to four daily start times, let you manage distinct plantings or sun/shade areas on a single controller. Run times range from 1 minute to 6 hours and seasonal adjustment (10–150%) lets you compensate for weather or seasonal requirements without re-entering every station time.

• Up to 3 programs, 4 start times per program for staggered schedules.
• Run time span from 1 minute to 6 hours for anything from drip to rotor.
• Seasonal adjustment 10–150% for quick runtime tuning.
• 99-day programmable off for temporary shutdowns during construction or restrictions.

Does the NODE-100-VALVE work with drip lines, sensors, or solar power?

Yes. The NODE-100-VALVE supports low-flow drip systems and integrates with Hunter rain sensors to avoid unnecessary run times. For extended battery life in remote locations, you can add Hunter's optional solar panel kit. The controller’s DC latching solenoid is especially efficient, conserving battery while remaining responsive.

• Compatible with drip irrigation and low-flow applications.
• Accepts Hunter rain sensors to pause irrigation during wet weather.
• Optional Hunter solar panel kit (sold separately) for battery support.
• Real-time battery life indicator helps schedule maintenance visits.

Who is this for? The NODE-100-VALVE is ideal for irrigation pros, landscapers, and homeowners needing a rugged, no-wires solution for single-zone installs, retrofits, or remote drip systems. If you often work in sites without AC access, perform quick add-on installs, or need a waterproof controller that survives valve-box conditions, the NODE offers a compact, install-and-forget option that reduces parts handling and saves on field time.
