Rain Bird XCZ-100-PRF Control Zone Kit
The XCZ-100-PRF Control Zone Kit is positioned as a practical best-in-class control and pressure-regulation solution for irrigation pump systems, offering simple integration of zone control and pressure management at a lower upfront cost than full filtration stations. It outshines more specialized filters on initial capital and ease-of-installation for pump-protected zone control, though it does not replace the fine filtration and automatic backwash capabilities of dedicated filter brands in this list.
