The Right Level of Control — Right Now 
 

All Rain Bird products are designed to make it easier for you to maintain exceptional playing conditions throughout your entire course — and it all starts with your central control. 

Choose a Rain Bird Central Control System to intelligently manage your irrigation, and you’ll enjoy benefits that other manufacturers don’t offer:

 

Timeless Compatibility™

Every Rain Bird golf irrigation product is engineered with timeless compatibility in mind, meaning your central control will work with any existing Rain Bird products you’ve already installed, as well as future Rain Bird technologies. 

 

Real-Time Response

Only Rain Bird systems offer continuous two-way communication. By receiving data and making instant adjustments when needed, it also allows you to continuously and automatically optimize the performance of your system, from greater pump efficiency to shorter water windows and minimum water usage. 

 

Easy to Use

Intuitive Rain Bird Central Control Systems make it easier to put advanced data and leading-edge technology to work for your course, from a guided startup with our QuickStart™ program to quick and easy program building through QuickIRR™ programming.
