Second 8 Station or New 16 Station Controller

post by midge on Dec 31, 2019

I have a Gen3 8 station controller. I need to add additional zones to my landscaping. Would it be best to replace the 8 station controller with a 16 station controller or add an additional 8 station controller?

@Midge - the KISS principle would say get a 16 station controller and just run one unit. There is also a 12 station controller available from Costco (I believe).
