Why OpenSprinkler through Phoenix?

We're not just reselling boxes. We solve the full irrigation automation challenge in a South African context.

🧾

We pair OpenSprinkler with solar and battery backup as standard, keeping schedules running through Eskom outages.

💧

Borehole & tank expertise

Deep knowledge of SA water infrastructure — borehole pumps, pressure tanks, float switches and municipal backup.

🔧

Full solution supply

Controllers, solenoid valves, cabling, sensors, enclosures and solar — sourced and invoiced together.

📞

Local support, SAST hours

Call or WhatsApp during South African business hours. Real engineers, not forum posts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you supply OpenSprinkler hardware throughout South Africa?

Yes. Phoenix Computer Consulting (Pty) Ltd supplies and supports OpenSprinkler hardware nationwide. We deliver via FedEx International Priority — typically 5–7 business days door to door, duty paid, with a South African VAT invoice.

Why not order directly from opensprinkler.com?

You can, but the real landed cost is often higher than our price once you add international shipping, import duty and VAT on the CIF value. You also receive no South African VAT invoice (meaning VAT-registered businesses cannot reclaim input tax), no local warranty recourse, and no local support. Our Why Buy Local page has a full cost calculator.

Can I use OpenSprinkler with borehole, municipal or tank water?

Yes. It controls standard 24VAC valves and can be integrated with various water sources, pump relays, float switches and pressure tanks. We have hands-on experience with South African water infrastructure.

Can I start with a small system and expand later?

Absolutely. You can start with a single controller and add expansion boards as your needs grow. Each expander adds 16 zones and multiple boards can be daisy-chained.

Can I control the sprinkler via software or home automation?

Yes. Supports email alerts, MQTT for Raspberry Pi/Home Automation, and a full REST API. Any PC on the same WiFi network can run MQTT broker and/or control logic. Integrates with Home Assistant and similar platforms.

Do you work with irrigation installers and landscapers?

Yes, and we actively encourage it. Installers and landscapers can contact us for project configurations, trade pricing, and technical support. We want to be your supply and support partner.
