Hunter intros Bluetooth-enabled tap timer

Hunter Industries introduced the BTT, its new Bluetooth-enabled tap timer.

BTT provides app-controlled light irrigation for plants, flowers, nurseries, greenhouses and small lawn areas.

“BTT makes simple irrigation quick and affordable,” said Darik Chandler, associate product manager. “It’s the perfect add-on item for contractors to offer additional service and easy maintenance.”

Designed for use with a hose faucet, the product gives contractors a sellable tool for homeowners that allows them to remotely program irrigation from a smartphone.

BTT uses a mobile iOS or Android app with two irrigation modes and two start times each.

The cycling mode is ideal for interval drip system irrigation or for germinating plant seeds, and the rain delay feature provides up to seven days of suspended irrigation to help conserve water during inclement weather, according to Hunter.

The built-in, push-button manual start allows up to one hour of manual irrigation with automatic shutoff, without a smartphone.

Available now, BTT is quick and easy to install and includes two long-lasting AA alkaline batteries providing power all season long, according to the company.
