RainJet RJC‑6‑1 Timer Needs Replacement – Does RJC‑66 Support Pump Start?

The RJC‑6‑1 requires pressing the inner cover to make contact. Owner asks if RJC‑66‑1 (with pump start) exists.

Advice

RainJet is not a professional‑grade brand. Replace it with an Irritrol Rain Dial controller (indoor/outdoor, 6/9/12 stations) which includes a pump‑start terminal and lasts 12‑15 years.
