Horizon Distributors, Inc., a full-service wholesale distributor of irrigation and landscape maintenance products, announced the expansion of their Horizon Technical Services team into Northern California. A team of three technicians have completed extensive training on a range of sensor-based control systems as well as onsite project management and will be servicing the Bay Area, Sacramento Valley and Central Valley. This team of highly trained, “on-site” experts focus on innovative professional central control solutions for the irrigation designer, installation contractor and the end user.
“After several decades of success in the southwest, we are expanding our Horizon Technical Services offering first to California and then to the rest of our network,” explains Phil Stephens, vice president of Horizon. “While we have served other markets over the years, we haven’t had dedicated technician support in the field. So we are taking the expertise we have honed in Arizona and disseminating it across our footprint.”
Leading the expansion is Pat Johnston, Irrigation Product Manager for Horizon and long-time leader for Horizon Technical Services (HTS). Pat is recognized throughout the industry as a subject matter expert in central control product and was instrumental in developing Horizon’s Rain Safe Enclosure Assembly and its Solar Solution. According to Pat, “Our focus isn’t just water management, it’s resource management – water, energy and labor. Our goal is to offer sustainable solutions grounded in fiscal reality.”
The Horizon Technical Services team of experts use booster pumps, solar methods, fertilizer injectors, 2-wire controllers, and central control systems to provide innovative conservation solutions. In addition, they offer specialized programs such as surge protection testing and certification, weather station maintenance and central irrigation control computer maintenance to ensure consistent operation.
The Horizon® Rain Safe Enclosure Assembly, offered exclusively by Horizon Distributors, provides complete protection for your valuable irrigation control system—one of the most important pieces in your landscape design. Horizon's Solar Solution is part of the Horizon Rain Safe program. Horizon Technical Services will assemble all of the electrical, irrigation/lighting components into a customized enclosure for an easy onsite installation. Each solar solution is engineered to meet the specific needs of your project as needed.
Horizon is the authorized distributor of Toro DXI; HydroPoint brands (Baseline and WeatherTrak); ET Water; Tucor; Hunter Centralus; Rain Bird IQ and Pumps; Precision Pumping Systems; Munro Pumps; Watertronics and Barrett Engineered Pumps and Injectors.
