WaterSense labeled smart controllers

Most Florida programs require an EPA WaterSense labeled controller. Every model below is on the EPA WaterSense product list as a standalone controller. A WaterSense label does not guarantee a rebate. Check your program’s rules (pre-approval, contractor install, replacement only) before you buy.
