RAIN BIRD INTRODUCES ALL-IN-ONE ZONE CONTROL TO HELP COMMERCIAL CONTRACTORS FINISH FASTER AND BUILD SMARTER

Rain Bird announced the launch of its new All-in-One Zone Control (AIOZC), a breakthrough commercial irrigation solution designed to help landscape contractors overcome labor shortages, simplify installation, and minimize the size and number of valve boxes.

The launch comes as the commercial irrigation industry faces mounting efficiency pressures. According to the Irrigation Association’s 2024 State of the Industry Report, 73 percent of landscape contractors cite labor shortages as their primary business obstacle, while increasing installation complexity extends the average project timeline by 22 percent. The Rain Bird AIOZC XAOZ100 directly addresses these challenges by integrating flow control, pressure regulation, and filtration into the industry’s most compact, purpose-built control zone solution.

“Time is the most valuable resource on every commercial jobsite,” says Paul Dailey, product manager for Rain Bird’s Landscape division. “The All-in-One Zone Control was engineered for the real-world conditions contractors face every day—tight timelines, limited labor, and rising expectations for performance. By creating a single device, we help both designers and installers finish micro-irrigation systems faster, bid smarter, and spend less time on service calls.”

For more than 90 years, Rain Bird has stood for innovation and reliability in irrigation. The AIOZC reflects the company’s enduring commitment to The Intelligent Use of Water™, making high-efficiency micro-irrigation systems easier, faster, and more cost effective to design, install, and maintain. 

Field testing at commercial installations across the US, Canada, and Australia, demonstrated significant reductions in installation time and complexity, while ensuring micro-irrigation (drip) systems remained free of the most common sources of callbacks: pressure inconsistency, clogs, and fitting failures. “Absolutely amazing! I love how compact and easy to install it is,” says Justin DeRosier about his experience with the AIOZC as a field test participant. DeRosier is an irrigation specialist at Green Effects, a commercial landscaping business with over 25 years of experience in Puget Sound, Washington.
