Sir Sprinkler Brands

Rachio is a great company that specializes in designing and manufacturing intelligent sprinkler systems and controllers. Rachio systems may feature smart sprinkler controllers, wireless flow meters and even an app that allows users to monitor and control all aspects of landscape watering. Both Generation 2 and Rachio 3 controllers offer the feature Standard Weather Intelligence™, which helps reduce unnecessary watering. They also both support up to 16 zones.

While Rachio is relatively new to the market (since 2013), Rain Bird was one of the first companies ever to enter the irrigation industry. This company was founded back in 1933 during California’s big agricultural boom and has been helping both the private and business sector enjoy more beautiful lawns ever since.

Today, Rain Bird boasts over 4,000 products — many of which our team at Burkholder recommends and uses in our sprinkler installations. Of particular note are the valves and sprinkler heads, which have been specially designed and utilize the highest-grade materials for longevity and durability.
