Review: Installed and Tested - Lightning strike took out our old Hunter 9 zone controller. I replaced it with this one, doubled up on two zones, and it tested fine. Smaller unit, easy install. I cannot address longevity yet, but this was a painless replacement. Review: Inexpensive Replacement for Hunter Pro-C - My old Hunter Pro-C had several modules that failed after 12 years. It would have cost as much to replace the modules as to purchase a new Hunter XC800i 8-Core. The feature set of the XC800i is virtually identical, and the 8-Core has enough stations for me since I only had 7 stations in use on my old Pro-C. Installation was straight forward using the wires from my old unit. Programming it was a breeze since I just reset up the old program on the new one unit. Since the controls are basically identical, I was finished everything in under an hour, including removing the old unit. The only caveat is that the XC800i is smaller, so the mounting screws aren't in the same location as the old unit. As a result, I have a mounting hole in my dry wall from the old unit that is not covered by the new unit. The XC800i seems to work exactly like my old Pro-C after being in service for about a month. ## Features - EXPANDED 8-ZONE COVERAGE FOR LARGE LAWNS AND GARDENS: Control up to eight zones with individual scheduling for lawns, flower beds, shrubs, and drip irrigation, perfect for larger or multi-use residential landscapes. - NO WIFI OR APP REQUIRED, SIMPLE DIAL CONTROL THAT ALWAYS WORKS: Skip signal drops, logins, and app issues, just use the intuitive dial to create and update your watering schedule anytime, even during power outages or offline situations. - 3 PROGRAMS WITH 4 START TIMES EACH, FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING OPTIONS: Customize up to 12 total start times across three programs, ideal for managing different areas like front yards, backyards, gardens, and high-traffic zones with precision. - SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT SAVES WATER AND TIME THROUGHOUT THE YEAR: Easily increase or decrease run times based on weather changes, reduce waste in cooler months or ramp up watering during heat waves without reprogramming every zone. - SMART PORT READY WITH BUILT-IN PROTECTION FEATURES: Compatible with Hunter remotes through the optional Smart Port, includes Quick Check diagnostics and built-in surge protection to prevent damage and ensure system longevity. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00FYRXVF0 | | Best Sellers Rank | #22,964 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #23 in Automatic Irrigation Controllers | | Brand | Hunter | | Brand Name | Hunter | | Color | Gray | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 867 Reviews | | Display Type | LCD or LED | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00611698146484 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 5.75"L x 2"W x 6.5"H | | Item Type Name | Irrigation Controller | | Item Weight | 1.2 pounds | | Manufacturer | Hunter Industries | | Material | Metal | | Material Type | Metal | | Model | XC800I | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operating Temperature | 50 °F | | Part Number | XC800I | | Product Dimensions | 5.75"L x 2"W x 6.5"H | | UPC | 611698146484 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 120 volts_of_alternating_current | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hunter - **Color:** Gray - **Material:** Metal - **Product Dimensions:** 5.75"L x 2"W x 6.5"H - **Voltage:** 120 Volts (AC) ## Images ![Hunter X-Core XC800i Indoor Sprinkler Timer, 8 Zone Irrigation Controller - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71suGYE4a5L.jpg) ![Hunter X-Core XC800i Indoor Sprinkler Timer, 8 Zone Irrigation Controller - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wPyTMOX+L.jpg) ![Hunter X-Core XC800i Indoor Sprinkler Timer, 8 Zone Irrigation Controller - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DG0Rgw+TL.jpg) ![Hunter X-Core XC800i Indoor Sprinkler Timer, 8 Zone Irrigation Controller - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31In2oLJlML.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is thee difference between this model and the pro-c indoor model** A: Hi Sandy - the main difference is that the PC300i is a modular controller with 3 zones, that can be expanded to as many as 15 zones using PCM modules. The XC800i controller has a fixed number of stations (8 in this case). The Pro-C will accommodate up to 6 hours of watering per zone, where the XCore controller will handle only up to 4 hours per zone. Price wise, because it is expandable, the Pro-C is usually more expensive than the XCore controllers. There is a version of the Pro-C controller that also has a fix number of stations. It is the PCC controller (Pro-C Conventional) and comes with 6, 9, 12 or 15 zones. Because it is a Pro-C controller, it has the exact same programming features as the modular Pro-C, but for a little less cost.

We at SprinklerHUT are always happy to help! **Q: Can it be set to run on one program only even though the other two programs have been set up? Then switch it to run on another program only?** A: Yes, you just turn the start times for each program on off as necessary. Go the the program, then select the start time and either set the time for the program to turn on, or to turn it off, adjust the time to 12:01am and it will say "OFF". You can also turn a program off by just going to the "days to water" and turning them all off. **Q: Does this controller come with a internal transformer?** A: No - it has a plug in transformer. **Q: Two of my sprinklers have lost their covers. Can I get replacements?** A: Check with your local hardware store or the manufacturer of the sprinklers. Lots of time they have replacement parts. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Installed and Tested *by F***T on July 18, 2026* Lightning strike took out our old Hunter 9 zone controller.

I cannot address longevity yet, but this was a painless replacement. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inexpensive Replacement for Hunter Pro-C *by M***S on June 18, 2024* My old Hunter Pro-C had several modules that failed after 12 years.

Well the one I had was a 2013 model and this new one is the newer updated version but it operates the exact same way as the original one did. Super easy to install and program. Just take a picture of the original one, unplug the power supply, unscrew all.your wires, remove the old controller, then run run your wires the exact same way you took them off using the picture you took. All in all, it took me about 10 minutes to hook it up, another 5 to program it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hunter Sprinkler XC800I X-Core 8-Station Indoor Only Sprinkler Timer - Hunter PGV 1" Electric Sprinkler Valve – 24V AC, Flow Control, Female Threaded, Heavy-Duty Diaphragm, 150 PSI, Inline Irrigation Valve for Lawn, Garden, or Commercial Use - Hunter PGP-ADJ ¾" Rotor, 2-Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/1183579-hunter-x-core-xc800i-indoor-sprinkler-timer-8-zone-irrigation](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/1183579-hunter-x-core-xc800i-indoor-sprinkler-timer-8-zone-irrigation) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
