Hunter Hybrid battery powered controller - DC solenoids
Over the last 30 years I have installed and maintained 13 zones to irrigate our 1 acre property using standard AC controllers (so I'm familiar with the basics 
).
However, I'm in the process of laying out 10 new zones in the farthest corner and don't want to trench back to the house for the sprinkler wire. (Water supply has been in place for years - just been doing manual watering.) I have decided to use the Hunter Hybrid battery powered controller for the expansion and understand that it requires DC latching solenoids on the valves. Here's what I need to know:
1) Will the Hunter Hybrid controller work with any brand valve that has DC solenoids (like the DIGs)?
2) I would like to use Hunter PGV-100G 1" valves in the project. Can they be ordered with the Hunter 458200 DC latching solenoids instead of the AC solenoid? If so what would be the price?
3) And, more generally, is it OK to "mix and match" any brand battery operated controller with any brand valve that has a DC solenoid?
