Hardie 9‑Station Controller Replacement: Irritrol Rain Dial

Hardie Controller No Longer Available – Use Irritrol Rain Dial

A Hardie 9‑station controller (16.5 years old) shows a “short all stations” error. Testing individual valves works, confirming the controller is faulty. The user asks for a comparable replacement and price.

Direct Replacement

Replace with an Irritrol “Rain Dial” 9‑station controller (~$150). Hardie was bought by Irritrol, so the Rain Dial is essentially the same design. The original Hardie controller is discontinued.
