So, we were talking about Sally Field, right? But then we got into desalination—nothing to do with sprinkler repair in Tulsa—but we’ll get back on track. Let’s get back in the game, folks! “Put me in, coach! I’m ready to play today!” Now, let’s wrap up talking about Wi-Fi controllers and dive into Bluetooth controllers for a moment. I’ll share the benefits of Bluetooth controllers with you. You can control them from your phone, making things more fun and automated. But it’s not just for fun—having a Bluetooth controller can save you time with scheduling and reprogramming.
Any questions about Wi-Fi controllers before we switch gears to Bluetooth? No? All right, let’s move on. There are some exciting new Bluetooth options in the market. One cool development is in-valve controllers, which mean you no longer need to run cables all over your yard. Do you remember when we discussed valve boxes and how many valves typically go inside one? I mentioned that three is the average. You were close, but I said three. Thanks for the effort though!
Now, with sprinkler repair in Tulsa, many systems only require a few zones. You might have a simple front yard system, or maybe you want to irrigate around the pool. In these cases, an in-valve controller is ideal. You wire it directly to the valves inside the valve box, and you don’t need to install a controller on the wall. And guess what? You can control it all from your phone via Bluetooth—just like you do with your car’s Bluetooth connection.
Keep in mind, Bluetooth requires you to be within range of the controller, so unlike Wi-Fi, you can’t control it from across the globe. But it’s still incredibly convenient, and it saves you both labor and materials since you won’t have to install a bulky controller in your garage. We’ve done a couple of these smaller systems this year, one with two zones and another with three zones. Instead of running cables all over the house, we used a small, battery-powered Bluetooth in-valve controller for easy control.
Now, let’s talk about rain sensors. Rain sensors are crucial for sprinkler systems—they help ensure that your sprinklers don’t run during a rainstorm, saving water and protecting your plants. A wireless rain sensor communicates with your controller and stops the system from running if it detects rain. Pretty straightforward, right?
So, we’ve covered a lot: Bluetooth controllers, rain sensors, and more. Chad, any final thoughts on sprinkler repair in Tulsa? Anything you’d like to revisit or clarify?
Chad: Well, if we’re going over everything, I’ve got to mention the time my wife ran over the valve by the driveway. That’s where this all started! And I think at some point, you admitted on tape that it was your fault! (laughs)
Ah, no! You won’t find any such admission in the records. Let’s focus on the present, Chad. We’re here to help listeners, not relive past mishaps.
We’re close to wrapping up. One last thing: we haven’t made our Super Bowl predictions yet. My pick? Eagles, 30–20. What about you?
Chad: No way! Belichick and Patricia will have something up their sleeves to rattle Foles. I’m sticking with the Eagles over the Doobie Brothers, 3 sets to 2.
(laughs) Well, that’s a bold prediction, Chad. I think we’re all set for now. Thanks for tuning in to this Sprinkler Repair Tulsa session. We’ll be back next time with more tips and insights!
