How many sprinkler zones do you have?

A zone is a group of sprinkler heads that turn on together. Most homes have between 4 and 12. Your sprinkler controller tells you how many you have.

How to find your number of zones
  1. Find your controller. It's the box that runs your sprinklers, usually on a wall in the garage, basement, or utility room, or outside near the electric meter.
  2. Look at the wires. Open the cover. Along the bottom is a row of screw terminals numbered 1, 2, 3 and so on. Count the numbered terminals that have a wire attached. That's your number of zones.
  3. Don't go by the label. A controller marked "8-station" or "12-zone" tells you how many it can run, not how many you use. Only count terminals with wires.
  4. Using a smart controller or app? Open the app (such as Rachio, Rain Bird, or Hunter Hydrawise) and count the zones listed.
