Description

Smart, Wireless Watering. Professional Grade Control.

The Galcon 6151BT Bluetooth Controller with 1" Valve is an advanced, battery operated sprinkler valve designed for professionals and homeowners alike. By providing wireless watering timer capabilities directly to your smartphone, this controller removes the need to physically open the valve box for programming. To ensure long-lasting performance and protect the internal diaphragm, we highly recommend installing a high-quality water filter upstream. This smart irrigation controller seamlessly connects to your main line using standard irrigation fittings, giving you reliable, automated command over your landscape's hydration.

Engineered with a rugged IP68 waterproof rating, the 6151BT is perfectly safe to install below ground or in harsh, wet environments without fear of water damage. The intuitive Galcon BT app lets you manage watering schedules, set cyclic or weekly routines, and adjust run times from 1 minute up to 12 hours—all from up to 30 feet away. The included 1-inch inline globe valve features reliable operation suitable for a wide range of flow rates, making it ideal for remote drip systems, raised beds, or traditional sprinkler zones where running AC power is impossible.

Why Choose the Galcon 6151BT Controller?
  • Bluetooth Convenience: Program and manage your irrigation schedules via the free Galcon BT app (available for iOS and Android) without ever reaching into a muddy valve box.
  • 100% Waterproof (IP68): The controller module is fully sealed and potted, allowing for safe installation in subterranean valve boxes that are prone to flooding.
  • Flexible Scheduling: Offers weekly programming (select specific days) or cyclical programming (every X days), with run times ranging from 1 minute to 12 hours.
  • Battery Operated: Runs reliably for a full season on a single 9V alkaline battery, making it the perfect solution for off-grid gardens, greenhouses, and remote landscaped areas.
  • Manual Operation: Features a manual override button directly on the controller, as well as manual activation via the smartphone app.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these steps to seamlessly integrate your new Bluetooth valve.

Step 1: Install the Battery
Unscrew the battery compartment on the controller head, insert a fresh 9V alkaline battery, and firmly re-tighten the cap to ensure the waterproof seal is maintained.

Step 2: Connect to Mainline
Using thread seal tape, thread 1" Male Pipe Thread (MPT) PVC or poly adapters into both the inlet and outlet of the valve. Pay close attention to the flow direction arrow molded into the valve body.

Step 3: Pair the Device
Download the Galcon BT app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth, open the app, and follow the on-screen prompts to pair with your controller.

Step 4: Program & Test
Name your zone in the app, set your desired watering schedule (days, start times, and duration), and use the app's manual start feature to test the system and verify water flow.

✔ Compatibility Check

Verify this controller matches your system requirements:

  • Thread Type: Inlet and outlet are 1" Female Pipe Thread (FPT). You will need MPT adapters to connect to PVC or Poly tubing.
  • Power Requirements: Operates strictly on 9V DC battery power. This is NOT compatible with 24V AC hardwired irrigation controllers.
  • System Pressure: Requires a minimum of 15 PSI to fully open and close the internal diaphragm. Do not install on zero-pressure gravity-fed systems.
