  • Remove soil to provide 6" - 12" of clearance all around the enclosure and 6" in additional depth
  • Place 6" of bedding material, such as crushed stone, in the excavated hole for drainage and rodent barrier
  • Place the enclosure with lid installed into the bedded hole
  • Place 1" of additional crushed stone around the outside of the box in the hole
  • Remove the lid and adjust the body as needed to position the enclosure to the proper grade
  • Backfill with excavated soil; ensure the soil is free of rocks larger than 3"
  • Compact the backfill with a mechanical tamping device or hand tools
New Evolution Controller Popular for Ease of Use and Feature Upgrades
  

The Toro Evolution is an easy-to-use controller that offers modular expandability both for additional stations and to add new smart features.  

 

Configure the standard affordable Evolution as a timer-controller or upgrade it with other wireless devices by simply plugging in the Smart Connect device.  

 

The Smart Connect device plugs into the base controller, enabling it to wirelessly communicate directly with a weather sensor, handheld remote, multiple soil sensors, and up to two wireless relays (to control lighting or other devices).

 

This controller won the New Product of the Year Award in 2013 from the Irrigation Association.
