dropControllerV4

 

 
dropControllerV4 is the most advanced drop system available. It is an extremely precise system that uses a clear, easy to understand control panel. It looks nice too!

The dropController system has been developed over many years by drop enthusiasts for drop enthusiasts. It started life over 25 years ago as a purely DIY project (if you wanted one you had to build it) and grew to become the ultimate professional water drop system.


Fairly basic single valve set.


Intermediate 3 valve set.

Valve Drain – There are 2 valve drain modes
