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.
