Can you hook up drip systems to this sprinkler controller as well?

My guess would be yes, since it's only purpose is to send signal to that valve to open for water to flow to the head or whatever.

Looks like you could just hook up a regular hose in between your water source and the area you want watered with the soaker hose.

Yes you can use the pump for your lawn irrigiation system. However, there are some control questions you will need to resolve. 1. Is there any chance you could pump your shallow well empty or down to a level where the pickup pipe will be below the level of the water in the well? The pump cannot be ran without water to the input. It is not a self priming pump. 2. Does the irrigation system have an "on-off" timer. If so, then some method will need to be devised to prime the pump. Again, the pump cannot be ran without water at the input. 3. Are there approximately the same number of sprinkler heads in each of the three zones? If there is a large difference in the number of sprinkler heads, the pressure to each zone will vary and un- even results will occur.

No you can operate them individually. I have one side connected to a drip system for my flower beds and just a garden house on the other.

Yes that is how I have mine hooked up. We installed a valve it so we can control the flow of the water.

If you only use this device to control the zone then yes it could work. However if you are using the sprinkler timer on this zone also then this unit will not work as the main sprinkler timer will control the voltage.

I have never connected it to a sprinkler... only use it as a hose for watering...

Yes. I'm watering four separate areas with mine. The kit comes with a length of brown drip hose and a length of black non-drip hose; I go non-drip from faucet to first bed, drip through first bed, non-drip across a short section to second bed, drip through second bed, non-drip underground inside a length of PVC pipe (so I can roll heavy carts across) to third bed, drip through third bed, then underground in PVC again to fourth drip bed. Keep total length in mind. Also, the 18-inch spacing in the drip section is a little long - if a bed is more than 2 feet wide you'll want a staggered double pass of drip. And the kit doesn't have near enough straight-through connectors for any of this. The fat brown connectors in the kit work great (hold the tip of the hose in an inch of just-boiled water for a few minutes and they slide right in), the supposedly half-inch skinny black connectors that Home Depot sells leak, and the expensive "universal" connectors are a joke. No one seems to sell the fat brown connectors except at RainBird's website, and by the time you pay shipping you've spent as much as the kit. I finally found some fat GREY 30-cent half-inch connectors at Lowe's, from another manufacturer, that work great.

I think you mean that you want to feed a pump. Just connect the controller to a relay which is similar to common sprinkler relay valves, which will switch feeding for your pump.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think I would recommend it. You would probably run the chance of breaking part of the sprinkler system.

yep! I have containers alongside the pathway in my main garden area, and have it hooked up to drip for them as well.

Yes, and it's pretty simple to do. Understand, though, that if you have a garden hose connected to one of them, that one would be set to Manual, leaving you three circuits for drip irrigation.

For my unit only one rain sensor can be connected at a time. In my case the sensor will determine if sprinkler system as a whole will come on or not .

Yes, you need a pressure regulator. Check the various drip irrigation sites; they will show you how to hook up the system.

It depends on connections. I found connections that will fit in the irrigation aisle at Lowe's. You can try it and see.

Yes! The black cap in the picture unscrews from the base allowing you to use multiple sprinklers with multiple hoses strung together.

Yes, you can run a dehumidifier with this controller and you would only need a auxiliary contact if the dehumidifier exceeds the rated amperage of the controller.
